New AP Ti Chronopassion

[QinetiQ]

Don't expect any news for the next 2 weeks or so, we're in the Chinese New Year period.

Two weeks? I'd say at least until end of January

 

[Edgematic]

it's finished around the 20th of February.

 

[SpootyPuff]

I just e-filed my taxes heeelllooow chronopassion!

Let's just hope it comes out right

 

[SpootyPuff]

el bumperoo!

isn't CNY over?? Will someone please get them producing this already!!

 

[Edgematic]

My guess is the first dealers will start selling around the 14th, but to be safe, better count around the 20th of February ...

 

[vdubpower]

question...so how many of the "wrong " versions do u think they made? hundreds, thousands?

any why does it take US buyers noticing the glaring difference from gen for the makers to go back and do it right.....?

Officially its a 15 day period of CNY. And companies will select which day to start work. Esp in CHina, big deal as many workers go back to the provinces for home leave and some take 2 weeks off. And many do not ever return to the same factory but may take a job in another just for a change. So if the rep is made in a cheap factory, you can bet that there may not be great attraction to resume work there. High turnover during this period is extremely common. How this impacts quality I don't know. I would say that the less structured the factory is, the more vulnerable it would be. We certainly cannot expect Patek or AP level of robustness in the quality systems. :thinking:

 

[Yannou]

Factories Will re- open around the 12...be patient is a vertue....:lol:

 

[mchou]

That case looks amaaaazing.
#1 watch on my shortlist now.

 

[QinetiQ]

Lay is back on the 14th so I'm guessing all the rest will start working then as well

 

[Edgematic]

Yep, some even later, but the 14th is the date most dealers start again.

[SpootyPuff]

BUMP!!!


My love for this is strong!
I have not lost hope yet!......well not all

 

[parryl]

any updates ?

 

[SidakCo]

Yes, I'm interested in one as well.

So this batch that's becoming available will be as good as if I bought the brushed version and had it sent to TAKA for sand blasting?

Please please let me know when this becomes available! I will be purchasing one asap!

 

[SidakCo]

Also, is it possible to get the grey theme?

Like this:

 

[cgn1017]

yes the trusted dealers have it, but unfortunately it's not Ti like the gen... ;( otherwise I would have gotten it!

 

[tedjosg2003]

So I assume it's SS ? Anyway anyone hav experience on Ti case? I heard that the movement become noisy (since Ti is thinner than SS)

I have a Ti PAM177L and that thing is F*CKING NOISY. Drives me bat-sh*t insane at night if it is on the nightstand. 6497 and glass back have some to do with it. I would expect a Ti ROO to be fairly quiet with the solid caseback and less noisy a7750.

Not thinner but less dense.
