I think my source is a legit as the source is amongst the PT staff. ;-)

Any news on the RG GP from your source? We have a full set then.

Good of news if they are changing the dial and tachy. Not sure I can see it happening though.

Well, having a meeting doesn't necessarily mean that the update will be released soon.

If JF discards all the dials and techy rings and urgently update with new parts to satisfy us, then serious Kudos to them, but I seriously doubt it.

Perhaps, they will fast forward v2 who knows. or even bring down the price of FCGP .... ;-p

Also, my buddy source won't reveal release date of particular models.. I'm not Sharrkey Lol.

it interferes with their sales target, i assume. Can't piss off the factory too.

Sales are very bad for the FCGP. Except for Madred you can hear the crickets...

Jonny what is the quality of the strap like? Also what size is it? Is it the same size as the xs rubber strap or bigger?

Thanks

I am switching over to Patek. Enough of this AP nouveau riche rapper bling.

Its a rep strap.. but saying that, its a very good rep strap, certainly one of the best rep (leather) straps I've ever used..
Its also longer than the stock XS Rubber Straps..

They could have upgraded the trulli and ginza7 to a V2 due to disappointed rep buyers like us but they didnt do it. so i dont think anytime soon.

Aye, no v2 for the Schumi with a "lighter" grey dial yet.. so if they do (if at all) a v2 FC GP, I would assume that won't be anytime soon..

Maybe that's cos everyone bought the Schumi regardless. It was only a minor flaw.

FC GP is Flaw City.

Exactly, just good to know that they are trying to address our concerns.

:picard:

Sure, spotted by the less than 0.0000001% of the population who can recognize an Audemars Grand Prix who are intimately familiar with things like "anodized dials" and the proper way a tachy should reflect


U are true about that.


BUT......


I dont care about other people.
for me, its not about showing off to other people. If that is the main reason, rolex is better known to far far more of population than any AP.

For ME, the most important is for my own eyes, my heart, and my passion of this watch.
And this FC GP is really make my eyes hurt...my heart broken...and my passion just burst into the deep....
its so dissapointed to see the watch i really like turn out to be like a lego (like many here said) after waiting for sooo long.
i know its just a rep, and i know that the price is far far away from the gen. But not like ap schumy that i really satisfied even though the dial color is too dark, this FC GP is really really super duper ridiculous.

anyway.... now i'm a bit glad to hear that there is still a chance that they will review and probably reproduce the FC GP to be better. Being said that, Still, i need to lower my hope.... "The higher ur expectations, the more hurt it hurt u when it fail" wise men said...
LOL

Depends on which circles you mingle with.

But a lot of people do know AP and those who know it, will probably be able to tell off the bat. No shame in that if you don't care. If you do care and buy reps and gens for what they are, its an issue, being so obviously fake.

It's your feeling, attitude, and view towards something you care. No need to apologise.

actually i agreed with you. Because i told in my previous post (some pages before this page) that many of my friends have the AP GP FC Gen. I myself even have a gen AP ROO navy until now. No kidding. But i still dont want to buy the AP GP gen, i bought a JLC duometre for the same amount of money that actually i can use it to buy the fC GP gen.
why ? Because i feel that the complication, the luxury feel, and the finishing are more valuable to spend on a Duometre than an AP roo GP FC.
I want all if i can, but i still have limit on watches budgeting. So its about option.
and i bought Schumy and really pleased about it. Now i was hoping that the FC GP will do the same. But its not.

then why should i said about "more people known rolex more than any ap" ? thats because i comment to the quote. And from that quote, it sounds like we buy rep only to show off to others. Maybe its wrong perseptions of me. But that what i feel, so i replying the quote like that.


* a little edit to the very last part. Dont want to offense anyone. Sorry.
