great looking watch, tough choice if I had to choose between yours and ninja’s.

HK Islandboy · 30 December 2019, 09:17 PM

That looks awesome! I’m keen to see one in the metal

P2725TMB · 30 December 2019, 09:25 PM

That's very nice. If I didn't already have a standard RG44, which is very similar, I'd be very keen, as the brown tones work so well.

rumnyc · 30 December 2019, 10:07 PM

What i will say is this watch looks very different in indoor lighting vs outdoor sunlight. i mean totally different. i can't quite describe it. i think it will look very nice with a brown alligator strap. any ideas where i can get a nice hornback for this?

AP will custom make a strap for you but you may need to ask a couple of different people at the boutique/AD as not every salesperson is aware that AP will do this.

Any idea how much it costs and how long it takes?

It’s normally a couple of months and there isn’t much, if anything, of a cost uplift given that it’s custom made.

Very nice.

AK797 · 30 December 2019, 11:03 PM

It's RG brother says hi. I was quoted £700 for a black alligator with custom gold stitching, £200 just for the stitching.

Wow, was the gold stitching real gold thread? A normal alligator strap is about £500 anyway.

That's what I said! Apparently as it has to be hand-made just for you that is the charge to get the stitcher out of bed.

That doesn’t make sense, the ones I’ve had made had custom stitching and they were the regular strap price. I’m wondering if something got lost in translation and they quoted for real gold thread.

Great looking piece. My favourite of the camo variants

Gravity · 31 December 2019, 03:59 AM

Added one to my RG as well. It really changes up the look and I found the Horus straps to be much more comfortable than the AP rubber.

Fat_ninja · 31 December 2019, 08:02 AM

Looks awesome!!!!

Odie-r · 31 December 2019, 12:07 PM

Beautiful.

rumnyc · 5 January 2020, 02:48 PM

Was bored and it’s a sunny day so tried to capture the colors in natural light.

Some great pics

nyc2la · 6 January 2020, 07:36 AM

These pics make me think about trading my Grey CE ROO towards this!

Beautiful watch in pics and even more beautiful on the wrist (got to see on yesterday).

As an owner of the Ghost, I’d love to see this combo. Can you post a picture of the Ghost on a white strap?

Do most of you guys change the straps yourselves? Much risk of damage? Any tips?

It’s actually pretty easy as long as you have the proper screwdrivers. You will need 2 as the screw bar will spin so you need one to hold it in place.

You remove the smaller screws in the strap not the larger ones in the case. I don’t recall the size of the screwdrivers but I believe they are 1.4mm. I will confirm that when I get home.

Take your time and good luck. Great watch by the way.

Yes please let me know. And how about the tang clasp? How is it removed?

Here are the tools I used:

2 Bergeon 30080 mini screwdrivers 1.40mm
Bergeon 6111 spring bar tool for the clasp
