Pump Up the Volume with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Music Editions - We need a REP!
- Thread starter johnlogan
- Start date
Gonna be waiting for a while I think. All the new ROO's aren't even listed on TD sites. Still can't find a way to get my hands on them.
it shocks me to see that less desirable models have been repped and not this…
i will say the use of titanium is holding them back

Desirability is very subjective. And there have been watches in the present and past repped in titanium. Sometimes it takes time and sometimes it doesn’t happen at all. You just need to continue to be patient.

My honest assessment is that the Offshore divers are less popular in China now and a niche model of the Diver is even less so.....
Traditionally, the AP divers have always been viewed as bulky, entry level AP watches and they are generally (but of course subjectively) less popular and desirable than the Royal Oaks and even the regular Offshore models, and this is reflected in the market price.
The music edition is polarizing though, you get both people who love and hate it. I am personally not a fan myself though I do like the looks of the black ceramic version. Its the knurled endlinks and the faux mixer volume crown guards which put me off personally.
For the curious and open minded, a low tiers REP will be available very soon it seems:
It seems to have both size from the picture but that's about all I can tell.

Yes exactly. The OTT dial, and various visual allusions all placed together that way, it’s like shoving the concept of “hey look we support music!” down the consumers’ throats.
The trouble with thematic watches is that they seldom have widespread appeal, and often fall into the love ‘em or hate ‘em category, and this is no exception. I do like the vibrancy and colors of the watch but not very much else.
But to each his own. Those who like them will like them. It’s like everything else really I guess.
good start , i mean i’d hope the top tier factories will catch up soon…For the curious and open minded, a low tiers REP will be available very soon it seems:

It seems all the Wechat or Swezgo images transferred from JPG to AVF file format so now posting these pictures are complete pain in the arse
Actually I’ll say it looks decent. Any “gawdiness” can be attributed to the watch design not the replication effort. Just my opinion, but to each his own. It’s good enough if the music edition is your thing. It’s a good effort visually.First pics of the low "tier" replicas available. I don't think it looks half bad.
Case and bezel looks like PVD coated steel and not ceramic. From what I can tell at least. Brushing and polishing/beveling needs work. Those screws look they could use some love. Not sure I would be in the de-cheesing mood on this one.
Glad it’s being attempted tho finally. Options arent a bad thing.
