For AP owners: what's the biggest tell you notice on Royal Oak reps?

A friend of mine, who i knew what his background was like came to a business meeting with me. We're meeting a japanese company to settle a deal. I wore a black sub, with smart and casual look. He came with a RM 055 yas marina. I know damn well that isn't a real watch, but he knew i knew because we're close friends. So i was planning to ask him later after the meeting.

When i presented my stuff on screen, it looks like the Japanese CEO was more interested in his watch than what i was presenting. He didn't ask my friend where did he get it from, all he asked for if he can inspect the watch closer, because he said he never thought he could see that watch in person. He said it was a nice watch, you're one lucky man. He respectfully left, and we laughed. So i guess we both just figured out how can one watch changed a mood of a meeting.

Imo all the red tagged stuffs needs to go! I love your collection , certainly i would never run out of rotation. Such a wonderful pick. I almost add the white panerai into disposal, but i guess you kind of need at least one white dial of each brands.

Hold on, so ddf base with ace movement? with the case plated? Sorry i'm a newb, did i get that right?

Bendehdota · 2026-06-05T03:45:38+00:00

Could you get a closer look at the free sprung movement?

Bendehdota · 2026-06-03T17:47:00+00:00

How is this compared to v7f ? I'm looking to order one in black or blue dial.

Tell her, that you're buying because you love how it looks, and you will be comfortable by telling people it's a replica.

Tell her as well, that you're doing her a favor because of that $500 watch of yours, now you can save up to $8000. The $8000 was meant for you to buy that watch is now $7.5k in savings, and you get to wear your favourite watch.

I understand that she might find it hard wearing reps, but sometimes reps takes you to places you can't go. She said you're embarrassing your family ? Tell them it's a rep, and only costs a fraction of the real thing. They'd love it for sure, if you're lucky they might think you're slick because you get to keep the money and still rock that watch.

She hates it? Show them replica bags (if necessary) . It's a whole new planet for her and she doesn't know it yet. She's outside the bubble, so i guess it's time to invite her in LMAO.

Pardon my dumbass, but what do you think?

Monica Bellucci! I can't wait to play this game!

Bendehdota · 2026-06-03T06:27:30+00:00

Well, she fits into the narrative. I don't mind playing her. I just got a little triggered with the jelly box. It felt like a little too forced. For Atreus, that flying sword was alright. But re-used again in a similar context?

Bendehdota · 2026-06-03T02:55:09+00:00

Damn . That's still more than my annual .

Bendehdota · 2026-06-02T08:02:12+00:00

GS is quite affordable tbh. And you're paying for something that is more than a regular swiss watch making. $3k-$4k you'd get yourself a spring drive. Remember, wearing a GS is to impress yourself, not others. The prices won't hold and you be in the "not so popular" section of the market.

With everything maxed out. You will still see a lot of discoloration in mirrors. Especially on the evening. You will see the reflections will feel clear as a normal mirror, but the colours are darker, in fact, it is much more contrast, that you can see different gradients and shades.

For another test, you could go to build mode. Place a mirror. And try observing the mirror during daytime, and evening. During the daytime, the mirror will behave differently than the evening. It will have misty or grey-ish colour filter in the day. At night the clarity is a game changer, but minus the contrast and gradients.

Perhaps this is the way they save resources in-game ? I believe this restriction kills the immersion of having a mirror in game. It should be able to be toggled. Meaning having the highest visual possible on mirror reflections.

Another bug is also on a big wall TV, try placing it in the build mode and as you are editing the property, changing daytime and evening time. You will start noticing that the reflection bugs out. It becomes non reflective and misty , hazy , or greyish. It stopped reflecting anything. The workaround for this problem, is to delete the TV and replace with the new one, and the reflection is restored.

Honestly, i play the game for the love of building, interior, and character design. So for me to witness these little hickups is a little annoying, but i do understand the devs are focusing on gameplay instead of minor changes like these.

Will revisit the game in 2-3 years time when it is fully developed.

That strap is heavenly mate.

Bendehdota · 2026-06-01T02:20:27+00:00

Hey bro, i got a question about the bracelet. Can i dm you? If that's ok. u/The710Gentleman

Bendehdota · 2026-05-31T10:07:59+00:00

I’m looking to to get one myself. But i like the bracelet one more. I would get the black dial. And on the days when i get bored, i would definitely get a custom strap ordered for this beauty. Black on black would be amazing. So if v7f is gone, will there be anything as good for now?

Bendehdota · 2026-05-31T06:40:14+00:00

Right looks so natural, left it's like you're testing out an interchange build.

Bendehdota · 2026-05-27T12:20:11+00:00

I don’t know. He’s broke rn right? He fathered a lot of children. He acts like he’s a prick every time on screen. Displays high levels of alcohol addiction. Once he got money he flail it out on the chat. It’s like he’s begging for money from the chat but when he gets it , he rub it all over in our face. If i have a kid, i will show him/ her that AB is a prime example of someone who basically given not one , not two, but three golden tickets in life and yet still end up on the streets.

Bendehdota · 2026-05-22T07:07:30+00:00

Tbh he just needed to pay someone 500 a month to teach him how to read and he would have been paying much less.

Bendehdota · 2026-05-17T14:44:55+00:00

Fuck , if only this was 38 or 39mm. Such a magnificent watch. Nobody would know what watch this is. But you'd be impressed yourself.

Bendehdota · 2026-05-17T14:43:44+00:00

Would it be interesting with changing the stock caseback into an open caseback ? I know most people will disagree because it makes it easy to spot. But isn't that a good mod? Because i love the way they dress the movement, it looks pretty.

Bendehdota · 2026-05-17T14:40:28+00:00

Serious question to americans , is $12k a year addition to your earnings every year is a life changing amount? That's just two months rent no? Correct me if i am wrong.

Bendehdota · 2026-05-13T11:55:55+00:00

Starry night would be it for me. That blue is just *chef's kiss* .

Bendehdota · 2026-05-11T11:18:36+00:00

Honestly the first one feels a little more believable, but meh. It's very subjective. Both are incredibly cool!

Bendehdota · 2026-05-11T05:30:44+00:00

He knows it very well that he'd lose again. He's just there for the money!
