5007 rotor is totally different.

Another good point.

looks nice . I was thinking of getting a black croc to go with the ardoise... But this color is really tempting

I am making a croc strap for my PAM and it is OTW to be delivered to me. He makes croc/python straps for IWC.

He won't ship to China (inc Hong Kong) so I couldn't even find him on my eBay app. Some reports of long delays but certainly cheap!!

Yes, i think this is the biggest tell.
In other words, it seems that Ardoise on RG's biggest tell is the back case showing the 5001 and not the 5007. 5001 has no ardoise on RG.

Yep, bang on.

I am impressed with what the rep movt factory has done with this though. Even though the 5001 movt has a huge number of differences with the gen it still sort of looks like an IWC movt of some sort. And it's more than just a cover plate like what comes on the AP RO's. Quite a lot of engineering work has gone into making this.

I agree with you. I am also inclined to think the best rep (not sure whether it is super yet) is the Laureus version (closed back case). And the dial is not that bad looking actually.

Hi eisbaer,
How big is your wrist? Wonder whether the size will go well/sit well on a sub 6 inch wrist?

My wrist is 7 inches

 

[hub6152]

My left wrist is 7 inches

My right wrist is 10"

 

[hub6152]

Can someone measure the lengths of the rep strap please.

 

[lolo1972sg]

My right wrist is 10"

10 inches? Wow, that is big, dude

 

[hub6152]

10 inches? Wow, that is big, dude

Yeah, but my left is only 7.5"!! :laugh:

 

[Ghostripper]

Yeah, but my left is only 7.5"!! :laugh:

The preferred method when loosing weight is to do it evenly

Lol, I thought it was to sit on the hand until it goes numb, then it feels like someone else!!

Contact Mario at Orloff straps, email him a photo so he knows which one it is and he can make it for you in the size you need.

[emoji106]?

Nice one thanks

What are everyone's thoughts on the Rose Gold version.
Does it look cheap?
Never considered buying a gold rep

 

[mrjoe]

Been really busy with my own project that Ive completely missed this (new) release!
Looks really good too.

 

[ssouthall6]

Not really a fuss since I have not even purchase one. Just a simple question.
There is actually another thread which seems to indicate that the movement is a combination of 2 movements.
Thanks for the advice anyway.

It wasn't just you, quite a few people have mentioned it now. The watch has been out less than a couple of weeks so no real indication to the reliability is going to be viable yet. Even if it is a combination of two movements it's pretty irrelevant, get any rep serviced on arrival and it will last you the test of time for at least what you would expect considering the cost.
