Nice.

I've always thought that was one of AP's most boring dials

 

[AAH1483]

At least it not one of those complication dials

It’s also nice to see AP stepping out of the box on this one. I’m sure this one will be repped with the quickness.

I’m looking for Legend to have this one on his wrist really soon.

I take it Legend that you’re not a fan of dlc?

I do like DLC on certain watches but it needs to be considered holistically.
For this watch on DLC, it is reminiscent of a Chanel J12 for me, and not really my thing.
If for example, they give the dial/tachy red accents and match it with red straps, with the case and clasp being DLC, and call it the Black Widow or whatever fancy marketing name, I will like it a lot more. It is just a matter of personal preference D, there is no right or wrong about it.

Understandably so. The design is a tribute to the original beast released in 1993 and it is a "like it or hate it" dial for most.
I do like it myself for what it represents, and not really for the aesthetics.

The Chanel J12 ?? I can very much see what you’re saying.

In a way it’s a still fantasy because the gen has the seconds at 6, different date fonts and different subdial spacing. The ceramic bracelet is also missing from the rep.
But as long as you like it there is no harm at all trying anything.

A no go for me due to the sec@12

They need to update the movement before releases new ROO lineup.

That is exactly what I’ve been saying for the 26238 reps. It can never be a decent rep for me as long as the movement, subdial spacing and date fonts aren’t updated.

This is like the first release of the 26170 ROOs. They had the second@9 movement with equal subdial spacings (ironically like the gen 26238 have now lol) VS the sec@12 and non symmetrical subdial spacings in the 26170 gen ROOs.

Was about to pull the trigger on this with Andrew until I read that the sec@12.

Couldn't tell from the images at Trusty though: https://trustytime888.io/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=352&products_id=26201

You can tell it’s a sec@12 movement in that the hand at subdial@12 is the only one not pointing to 0.

Thanks for the info!
