Roger Dubuis Excalibur Knights of the Round Table

[arpeqqio]

Wonder would there be a bronze plating mod for this. Would make it so much better. That's the only thing stopping me right now, though, who am I to ask for more esp when we had absolute crap before this. :hehehe:

@Thehitman can you do Bronze plating?

 

[Hyjynx]

Oyez! Oyez!! Oyez!!!

His Royal Majesty King Arthur of Camelot throws a challenge to all gifted and skilled artisans (aka modders) in this Repdom! Fame, wealth, the hand (and the rest of the body) of a beautiful maiden, awaits whoever discovers a potent and proven solution that makes the figurines on the RD Excalibur KOTRT more gen-like in color!

Oyez! Oyez!! Oyez!!!

Two misspellings on the caseback.

"Brabest" and "Adbenture"

 

[jrodtx99]

More than that. Ugh. Aronnb instead of Around. Lots of M instead of W. They gotta get those details right.

Yeah, the blue looks abso-effing-lutely great. It’s fantasy, though....

But looks soooo good!! I wonder what the weight is? Looks heavy

I pre-ordered the enamel one (green/white dial) and it is just not release yet. I've done pre-order with my wechat dealer on 9/21 so it is more than 1 month wait. The factory claimed to release it soon but they just keep release videos.

I saw lots of factory videos on the second and third dial but not anyone have it.

Only the black one have few available in the market, so I decide to go with it first instead of endless wait and keep in pre-order list for the green one.

When I got mine this week, I am so disappointed.(I love KORT so much but this one is not only far from perfect) The watch itself is just a "photoshop" watch, the knights can be a easy plastic tell in social distance. (The watch case is good but lots of misspelling on caseback, the dial is okay, the knights are really bad, probably I am not lucky with my strap but it broke after first day arrived, the buckle is good.)

I canceled the pre-order of the green one and go for the ARF 116500 (Another endless wait...). And my dealer told me ZF is working on KORT as well, we shall see if there is another factory get this done.

Holy shit! (Excuse my French). I just paid for one. [emoji15] Gotta cancel immediately. Thanks for the heads up! [emoji120]

This is a sad day for me after reading this review. Let’s hope to see some improvements..

How about posting up more photos of your arrival just to confirm everything 'cos I can't tell shit from that 1 image

I am not a very professional rep buyer, so I don't have the habit to open box. (But I can send you the pre-order record and remove some personal details prove that I paid for it.) I am uploading some more photos for you guys. Please do not over-interpret what I am telling as that's just personal opinion. (for 580 bucks with mitoya and a broken strap, I am asking for som ething at least I can feel comfortable to put on my wrist.)
Is it that bad? No, the details are good enough. (I have done resin 3d printing & gold plating myself before. I think the factory already done their best.) It just the color look really plastic in normal light which needs to have some more to go before you can wear it out.

I am a model lover, I saw this photo on Baidu a handicraft work from other model lovers. I am targeting to do hand-work as well to make it better.

This is a sad day for me after reading this review. Let’s hope to see some improvements..

I am glad you shared lots of videos on RWI and I am 100% NOT regret having one as I can personally mod it.(The figure details is actually okay, the only thing that is not okay is about the plating. But I don't think the factory will resolve it now as this rep is really very HOT in China market now. I even have to pay 80 bucks more to cut in for the black dial)

I have connection to someone to remove the plating and have a heavy mod. And I already send back the watch to some China strap maker helping me on a new strap, and would do the mod after I have it back.

Guess the wait for the ZFactory one begins...

After few days calming down, I would rather believe that's just trash talk from my dealer.(How come a dealer in wechat can have more insight than Angus, I regret that I post this part without thinking through it...) I will wait until Angus told us so or go for a V2 again if ZZ factory make some progress.

 

[xpletiv]

Sorry, I wasn't questioning if you actually bought it, really, but rather that you show more "real" photos so that others may see the type of quality vs images of a product that there may only be one of and not a production, aka "scam" .
And not that you are scamming, but so that one knows that this Rep is real.

 

[dadog13]

@xpresso you would be amazed what “other” dealers know. Some of them have huge sales, are pretty well linked to factories, etc. I get from those kind of dealers many informations before they reach the forum.

As for the watch, let’s see what can be done with the present rep in terms of mods to make it closer to gen. Let’s see if there will be a ZF version. For sure it is a hot item, I see as well how sales go with other dealers. I see as well that the prices are different from what we have here and what is “outside” in the nTD market (more expensive but as well cheaper options).

Let’s see. For sure I am waiting the blue dial as my 1st one if I will be impatient.

Hi All, I got the watch, and quite like it, it has very nice dial detail, and the 3d depth elements are nice. My one big gripe is the strap, which is really cheap quality, and is in my opinion a big give.

Anyone know how I can get a better quality strap for it ? Dealer has no idea.

Thanks.

 

[dadog13]

@Aus9999 you have to ask one of the strapmakers to do a custom made strap for you. This would be a job for one of the skilled guys which is doing already some complex straps such as the one for the AP ROO. The best would be if you send them the strap you got with the watch (replica strap), probably there are some plastic inserts in it for the lug form that can be used for a new strap in order it is done properly. Just my guess about the plastic inserts at the lugs..

Do you mind posting some pictures? Really interested in the watch but the lack of pictures is holding me back

Honestly, the pictures on the web, and of other members are exactly what the watch looks like. The Figures are gold, and perhaps look a bit off, but I dont mind them, The depth of the dial is great.

Of Course nothing costing $500 is going to look like a 200,000 hand crafted watch -but they have done an amazing job - its a bit of fun, but the few who know watches, will tell from a glance it is arep.

My biggest issue, as I said is the band - it just feels and looks bad. If someone can give me contact for a strap maker, will see what they can do - @dadog13 - do you mind giving me some contacts ?

Donnerix (hamilton leather) said before he could make a strap for my excalibur, get in contact with him

Thanks. Will do.
