Royal Oak Frosted Gold

[johnlogan]

did you get your frosted blue dial RO?
how's the blue colour?

Yes, both my white and blue was dead on arrival! Dead movement. This was my third dead APS with a dead movement. 3 outa 3 dead!

My first RO had the movement fall apart and not even my local watchsmith was able to fix it! It’s a paperweight now.

Both the white and blue frost arrived dead a week apart. I’m a bit upset with PT for not checking the movement.
Both are on its way back to CN for repair.

so only aps have the frosted ones?

Right now yes! The looks and feel amazing but with a terrible unreliable movement!

That is not great to hear A.

I would suggest to buy with caution , mine came dead on arrival as well( I think the balance wheel is faulty or broken when looking at it from the back side of the case), also the second link pin came out

In all honesty the craftmanship on the case and bracelet is amazing! I also find the crystal to be excellent. Despite this I will never order another APS again!

Terrible to hear about those movement issues. Hope it isn't a common theme with APS now

If anyone wants to compare it with the 37mm gen frosted, I can share the photos.

Wish we could just buy the case and put a different movement and dial in it, would be a beautiful thing to have

has anyone bought the apsf frosted? my modder tells me that they use bad steel and it soon becomes blackened. I wanted to buy it, but... at this bad quality...

 

[johnlogan]

I don’t see why the steel would darken. If so, a quick wash will clear that right off. The craftsmanship and the raw materials on the APS are excellent. The frost looks great on the wrist. A real beauty. The movement on the other hands is another matter….

Non vedo perché l'acciaio dovrebbe scurirsi. In tal caso, un rapido lavaggio lo eliminerà immediatamente. La lavorazione artigianale e le materie prime dell'APS sono eccellenti. Il gelo sta benissimo al polso. Una vera bellezza. Il movimento invece è un’altra cosa….

Did you buy aps frosted?

 

[johnlogan]

Did you buy aps frosted?

Yes, I bought two !

 

[Gabriele75rn]

Sì, ne ho comprati due!

And what do you think about finishing and quality of the steel and the dial?

Very good as stated above!
