Audmars Piguet Rubens Barrichello II LE
Long wait had ended! My AP RB2 finished its' servicing & arrived today. Overall; it's one of the best rep I ever have. Simple comment as below:
Case : Ti case is much lighter than Stainless steel. Brush are even & high quality, no sharp edge in every single corner.
Bezel : Ceramic Brushed on surface & high polished on side which give a lot of contrast. It keep shining when you move your wrist.
Crown : Big crown let you adjust your watch easily. However; the gasket on tube have me feel strange when I tighten the crown.....First time when I screw in the crown; almost make me thought the thread had already stripped..:mad:
Dial: Day mag a little bit too right compare with gen. I guess it's one of the flaw of this rep.
Leather Strap : Quality is over my expectation. High quality & extremely soft.
Try it first before you really going to order a expensive one from APband....
Deployant Buckle : Ti also; same construction as all SS @12sec. However; it's not luck for me as usual due to my skinny wrist 6"...Therefore I swap it to the Tang buckle from APband. It's Stainless Steel; but brushed into a dark colour & match the Ti colour.
Case back : All engravement is clear & accurate. My RB2 is 0066/1000, How about yours?
Movement : I request watchsmith to overhaul service & regulate my movement under +/- 4sec/per day. Until now; it keep very accurate according to my computer's clock. tomorrow; I'll know whether it fullfill my requirment or not. Running sec@12 smooth like silk; no jumpy or jerky. Also, Chronograph running smooth & rest at dead zero.
Overall; I'm very happy with my RB2. It's so long time I haven't got a rep which make me feel it's so beautiful, Luxury & an expensive watch feeling. I heard many members complain about the failure of @12sec movement. According to Ziggy; it's a stable & sucessful modified A7750 like @3sec before. Time will tell how it really work; from now on it'll stay on my wrist or sleep in my winder. Let's hope it'll keep running & error feel!
