First I have to say that this is great forum (upgrading to VIP as we speak) and I have learned tons from my reading. From my reading I have decided to dive into the hobby and ordered my first Rep, an AP Volcano. As has been advised I ordered it on rubber and plan to pick up an AP Bands strap.

I just got my QC pics and I can't find anything wrong, but as I am a rookie when it comes to these things I was hoping I could get a confirmation that everything looks right.

Thanks!

WELCOME and congrats!!

Mine is stuck in customs as we speak. I'm estimating it should be @ my door by Monday :D :D :D

AP as a first rep! tsk tsk.... prepare to shell out $$ :D These AP's are SO addicting!!

Everything looks to be in order!
You have 'real' orange tachy ring, bezel screws are well in place. Aside from the usual/common flaws and tidbits, this ROO is good!
Are those pics from MR?

I have the same watch except on a bracelet. It's actually my favorite rep. Comparing it to your pics, I cant find a difference...

Thanks to all for the confirmation on QC photos, like I said I was pretty sure it was close to perfect but I guess I just wanted one more qualified eye to verify...

Yep, from MR. From reading around I gained confidence that he was one of the best dealers and I was really impressed by the quality and number of QC photos he sends.

I have been on the fence for a few weeks about which way to go as far as brand to buy, I own a Gen DJII and a Gen Breitling SA so I was wanting something different. It came down to Hublot, Panerai, or AP and AP won out. Though I think I will be adding then others very soon.

I have already spoken to Francisco about the modding of the movement, and will probably ship it out to him at some point for service.

Don't have it yet, but from what I have heard the Volcano isn't lumed so not sure what to expect on it.

It's funny, when I first saw a picture of the watch I was thinking, "Orange?" that's terrible. But over the last few months and after trying on a Gen awhile back I was hooked.

I am about to buy this watch also.

What are the flaws for this watch, and what are the recommended mods?

I tried the Volcano on at an AD last week and fell in love! so much wrist presence!
