What is the current popular model of the above ?
-
I think is the royal oak 41mm blue and the off shore diver steel
-
Ops sorry i mean model with those leather stripe.
-
if you are refering to Novelty model which is 44mm than the almost all is popular ie steel, panda, fibre carbon, Rose Gold and 42mm Ceramic diver.
if you refer to those old model aka 42mm than RG rubber clad, Panda, Navy, Bumblebee and volcano is quite popular... happy hunting.. :thumbsup:
-
Any differents between the 44mm and 42mm models ?
and how about the price between 44 and 42mm ?
There are Bumblebee with 44mm also. very confused
-
Most of the novelty model come with see thru case back and improvement pusher.. Let wait for other situ to chip in...
Perhaps you should download the AP ROO apps which can give u better idea on the old and new ROO
-
If a budget of 60, what do you think i can get ?
i saw mostly for sale are 42mm models now.
-
60k will get you normal offshore , as in 42 mm stainless steel or titanium , for carbon and gold or 44 mm you need at least 80k and above .
-

That might get you a new 42mm steel ROO on steel bracelet or a new titanium if you look hard or a Diver with money left over. With pre-owned, the choices would widen to include some forged carbon models. No gold or limited editions I would think.
-
Brand new or preown you are looking for? Most of the 42mm steel model suit your budget except RG and forge carbon model. I suggest u go and try at the AD first bcos 42mm wear like 46mm to me due to its unique case design...

42mm roo
-
Actually i am looking for a preowned unit, do you think this budget enough for a 44mm ?
if 42mm means old model is that what you mean?
How about the preowned price for the 42mm in next few years? i saw some selling around 50-60 for limited edition.
please advise.

Irregardless of what is popular, you should at least narrow it down to a few models.
3 hands or chrono?
For the Royal Oak, prices start from rm50,800.
For the 42mm stainless steel ROO, prices start from rm73,000 for one on strap, rm80,000 for one on bracelet.
42mm forged carbon bumblebee will be rm105,000.
For the 44mm novelty ROO stainless steel with ceramic bezel and pushers, prices start from rm95,000.
For the pre owned prices, there are plastered all over the web so just look around.
-
Are the preowned limited edition 42mm roo worth to buy? i saw a few on web.

Bro, which limited edition you talking about?
For the ROO line, there are countless LE.
Maybe show a picture for us to get a better picture?
And also, worth or not is subjective.
Go see it in person, try it and if you like it, wear it every day for the next 10 years, then it's worth it...
-
LOL 90% of the ROO are LE.
-
LOL 90% of the ROO are LE.
Nah... that would be pushing it...
The ROO 42mm Diver Stainless steel, forged carbon and ceramic are not LE.
The ROO 42mm Panda, Navy, Black, Grey, Blue, Safari, Volcano, bumblebee are not LE
The ROO 44mm Stainless steel, forged carbon, and ceramic are not LE.
The LE's are normally celebrity tied (something which I don't really like) like the Arnold Survivor, T3, Legacy, Shaq, Sebastian Buemi, Montoya, Schumacher, LeBron, End of days.
And there are Boutique LEs like the Ginza 7 boutique piece, wempe scuba.
-
wow.. this makes me more confused.. but anyway thanks for all of your feedback, i will probably look around and study more on each model first due to my limited budget. :o

I don't really understand the confusion actually.
You should narrow it down to a few pieces that catches your fancy.
Don not jump into the LE bandwagon... go for the material and dial combo that you like.
42mm and 44mm wears differently.
Better to try them both.
With a 60k budget, it's not really limited.
You can afford some of the model with some haggling.
I have seen a picture of your IWC Big Pilot... if you're comfortable with that, then 42mm and 44mm will do just fine on you.
-
hanz,
I will let go the big pilot once i reach 25 post, :Scolding: its too big for my wrist, thats why i am looking for a smaller something like my sub that i wear it daily.
-

I see, so you're trying to hit 25 posts to sell your Big Pilot? ;D
Anyway, I do hope you stay around even after selling.
The 42mm Royal Oak Offshore would be a good fit.
Just ask Dpkong...
-
I am very new to Ap, I done some survey on the local web, mostly selling are those 42mm safari, panda, and the black edition ..
Didn't go to AD actually, prefer getting a preowned unit.
So can you recommend me anywhere i still can get ?
Will stay here after i got the AP, i look around until i found this site..yesterday.. lol
-
i didn't notice that one has to hit 25 posts in order to sell on this forum, maybe i could start consider posting my Casio for sale.... ;D
-
Guys,
If Safari and Panda, which one you will choose ?
-
Panda !
-
i think it very depend on ur personal liking in which color combination works the best for you, but ROO will never go wrong no matter which
the best looking for me is the novelty carbon / gold
-
If between safari and panda... I would go panda... but that's just me.
You have to decide which one YOU like.
-

If the 7 days big pilot ( if that is what you meant) is to big for you , then the Roo 44mm will also be too big for you. You seems to be undecided at the moment, you have to try it on to know if it fits well and if you really like that particular model. Get a use one , then you'll lose less when it has to make way for another.regards tony

My personal advice to potential ROO owners...
1. Try out the watch FIRST, especially if you have small wrists.
- Hornback is more rigid than rubber strap and most 42mm ROO can change to a rubber strap or calf leather which is gives a better fit instead of looking like a bangle.
- About 6.5" is the smallest I would say before it looks too big, unless of course your wrist is more flatter than it is round. I have 6.5" wrists and even with the XS rubber strap, I am between the 2nd and 3rd last hole depending on the weather.
2. Once your wrist can pull off a ROO, look at the various models which differentiate mainly on case material, dial and bezel.
- Decide if you want chrono or not. Non-chrono would narrow down your search to the Diver range.
- Find the dial you like best.
- Most 42mm ROO don't have display caseback except on some LE.
- Find a good deal!
3. LE editiions are always going to cost about 1.5 times more than normal ROO on the used market. Expect always to lose 10-20% if you are selling any ROO, regardless what everyone says.
4. If buying a used ROO at market price, always buy one with remaining AP warranty. Service will cost quite a bit so if buying out of warranty, factor in cost of one service.
-
Is the trade of 46mm big pilot to 42mm ROO, a real downsizing?
Wearing 42mm ROO is a bit like wearing 46-47mm watches, no?
-
I can say a very confortable watch, it hold stable on my wrist, not very heavy watch with large stripe.

Agreed! me too....the carbon/gold combination.

Do you know how much for a complete service ? Sent to AD or outside watch shop ?

You can take this as a guideline :

Normally how many years for a watch due for service?
-
Piggyback type chronograph maintanace is more costly then pure chronograph movement as service center usually replace the used chrono module with a new one
-
I remember reading somewhere that AP ROO uses modular chrono movement (from JLC?) Perhaps they have changed into integrated movement now?

For the Royal Oak line, they're using a FP derived movement.
For the Offshore, a Dubuis Depraz piggyback chrono module on 3120 movement.

Anyone know how to identify a replica roo ?
The 1st thing to look out for if it's an ROO Chrono is the running seconds subdial.
Authentic should be the 12 o clock subdial while the replica is at 9 o clock.
This being the replica is always or mostly running on the 7750 clone.
Another thing is the subdial spacing.
The subdial space between the 9 o clock and 12 o clock is closer than the subdial space between 9 o clock and 6 o clock.
And of course, like they always say, you can copy the look but never the feel.
Quality can't be replicated.
Those who say super replicas are indistinguishable from the real deal just did not know what to look for.

Hanz, thats a revelation to me- The finer details.
There are fake APRO that I have seen. Really I can't tell the diff with naked eyes, though I am on fours. It comes with the box, like original. I'll try to get some shots and post it here, if mod permits.
Its available in KL. A few grands apiece.
Friends of mine in big cars (not wis) rotate bet ori & fakes.

If you are posting a watch that you are not sure is a replica or not and wished to get some opinions, the mods MIGHT allow it.
If you are posting a watch that you know for sure is a fake for discussion sake, I would advice against it.
Thanks.

If few k i rather get a Tag or something else rather then wearing a replica. If few hundred then ok la.

Perhaps the older mods can comment.
IMHO if the picture of a fake vs an original is shown to highlight and educate potential buyers on how to differentiate, then it should be allowed but not just to showcase a fake watch.

I don't think any discussion of fakes/replicas is allowed. Period. On some forums, it is taken as a cue for "parallel manufacturers" to improve their wares...
There is sufficient information around the net to check up on replicas. If buyer is unsure, buy only from AD.
