Ant information about the launch date? I have not been this excited about a rep for a long time. The date window position was a deal-breaker for the previous model.
apf had the exact same date wheel location....

Guys, i know its confusing BUT

APF
APSF
AFF
APPF

all are different factories!

APSF - royal oaks + offshore divers, they don't make Offshore chronos!

APF - the ones who took over JF in making 42-44mm offshore chronos! Have other models but inferior to APSF in my opinion

AFF and APPF are newcomers and haven't seen alot from them... I'm not knowledgable about these two

Mate you sales guy of APF? It has the date window at completely wrong position, very close to subdial. This new has the date window in the same position as genuine.

I would rather you not accuse me of being a APF shill....

For me, those small details matter but not when they can't get the big details right, like burger case, sunken date window, poor dial finishing in general, etc

Does the date window location being 1mm off bother me? Not as much as the other big flaws which APP hasn't solved, which is why I said APF and APP are similar. A rose smelling turd is still a turd, if you catch my drift.

Maybe we talk about different models but the date window position is completely different between the two models I compere.

No, if you read my post, I said I agree with you about the date, but still, this is a tiny detail that is not that big of an issue

The reason I said APP and APF are similar is because neither have solved the big issues with this watch, the thickness, sunken date, etc.

I am smiling here and like to keep it that way. But you said "apf had the exact same date wheel location....". That is just wrong. I already asked Sead about the availability, and will order as soon as he replies. I am super excited!

Is this really 43mm with a more curved case? I think the APF was still 44mm.

Taupe colour looks pretty good, hard to get right but this doesn't jar with me, seems pretty close.

And hope this can take gen or custom straps with their quick change, that doesn't break easily as some other reps have. Their strap choices are a bit weird.

Angus at PT has not heard of this fac but says he can order them too. Which model you want - Taupe?
