Someone mentioned that the strap is a bit short... how short? (shorter than a normal rubber strap for reps)
I wonder if the new rubber version will have the same "wear issues" as the old references. Didnt hear anything about them making changes to the material composition. Are you aware of any?To be completely candid, I prefer the ceramic pushers and crown on the rep. I also prefer the more vibrant straps an dial color on the rep.
Yes I like the fact that AP changed the caliber and moved the running seconds to 6 o’clock but they could have at least retained the ceramic pushers and crown of the 26470.
Nice acquisition. Wear it well.
So far no wear and similarly I do not encounter the same issues for the 26170s currently in my collection.I wonder if the new rubber version will have the same "wear issues" as the old references. Didnt hear anything about them making changes to the material composition. Are you aware of any?
The forum is a place to get a lot of information but common sense dictates that you will not be getting the answer you seek from the community precisely because it’s pretty niche and you will get better help emailing AP itself for the material composition.You're probably correct, it's a piece of niche information, but since years ago I had to replace pushers on my 25940, I'm interested if AP did anything to mitigate the issues the material had and I would think, that a watch forum, be it gen or rep, is exactly the kind of place for this kind of niche information.
But I digress, will inquire through the proper channels.
I heard the same. Extremely short. This would keep me from buying it.Someone mentioned that the strap is a bit short... how short? (shorter than a normal rubber strap for reps)
Like you need 3 sets joined together to go round a normal wrist.I heard the same. Extremely short. This would keep me from buying it.
I don't have those ladyboy wrists !Like you need 3 sets joined together to go round a normal wrist.
For me the “correct” version of the rep starts with the sec@6 and evenly spaced subdials. Ironically they had the evenly spaced subdial on very early releases of the sec@9 ROO reps.Still no correct version with proper date font and quick strap? Messaged pure time but no reply.
Need to change the cyclops and crystal they are very bad compared to JFHi folks, I got mine today. So far I mostly bought JF ROO chronos. First of all, this watch is 17mm high. The case back is thicker then JF. My 42mm JFs are about 16mm thick.
My watch came with no quick change strap system.
The deco plates are a joke, but I knew that.
Color scheme is very nice, date hard to read, lot of glares.
I'm not super excited with this watch...
Did you not catch the lack of quick release on the QC pics ?Hi folks, I got mine today. So far I mostly bought JF ROO chronos. First of all, this watch is 17mm high. The case back is thicker then JF. My 42mm JFs are about 16mm thick.

The dials and date might look better white. This Tiffany blue color is nice.Looks really cool, but why the hell they have chosen a black DW?
