  1. So I understand there are rumors about a better version of the 15400 Royal Oak that fixes the polished rehaut issue and perhaps a better rotor on a Miyota movement that Angus is involved with. Is this new version suppose to be out soon? IMHO, Im happy with the current version and possibly pulling the trigger and modding the rehaut myself. Are there that many issues with the current version that the wait for the new version is worth it? Cheers in advance for any input.
  2. Does anyone know if the leather straps for ROO date at 12 fits, it's dimensions are 28mm at the lug. I love the 41mm size, I have a beautiful black dial in a stainless case, but I would really prefer to get mine out of it's bracelet and onto a croc strap. (I do also have the smaller RO, stainless with a blue dial, on a black strap. I just really have a thing for straps, and much prefer it this way.) Note: I had read somewhere that the strap from the 'city of sails' fantasy series was in fact interchangeable here, and would install (on the RO 41mm). It so happens that I have 2 of those, the City of Sails, and it additionally so happens that one of them is out of commission anyway, a casualty of an ill advised 7750 setting blunder. As I write this, I have my RO Jumbo and my out of commission City of Sails dropped off at the shop of my favorite watch smith, and when time allows later he is going to have a look into the accuracy of this claim for me. I am thinking at current moment though that it will turn out that this is dubious advise, based on something I noticed at the last moment as I was dropping them off. What I noticed was this: the two lugs, or whatever they are called, that extend from the case on each side where the bracelet/ strap attaches, were pretty clearly two different sizes. I went ahead with dropping them off anyway, obviously.... I've got nothing to lose to let him have a look, and there's no B plan (yet) for getting my RO strapped up today. There seems to be precious little chatter to be found on Google regarding swapping a 41mm RO to a strap. However, I'm looking at my ROO date at 12 on it's leather strap, and I'm wondering now if maybe this size is actually exactly what's needed here. The two 'lugs' on each side do seem to be identical in size to those on the RO 15400. This would be an awesome revelation, if it were to turn out to be the case. I know exactly where and how to acquire replacements of these,reasonably priced, even good selection of options, etc.... Is this wishful thinking? Could anyone that has the knowledge and the time be so kind as to set me down the path of enlightenment here? (You know, most preferably the one that has my RO successfully swapped to a strap at the end?). Many thanks, Jesse
  3. Dear All, I just had some time to play this morning so I decided to play with my AP RO 15400, the newly released 41mm version. As I got a GREY dialed piece (me love grey) and I knew it is fantasy anyway, I wanted to get rid of that bloody glas caseback....at least make the inacurate movement not THAT visible. I found some foil that works in the copy-machine, designed a new logo on my notebook, had it print out on that foil, cut it down to fit the inner side of the glasback....unscrewed the back, placed the "decal" inside (no glue needed) and VOILA, a new star was born. Now I have a SPECIAL EDITION AP RO 01/01 named GREY ... the caseback says No.0001 anyway, so that fits the bill. Let me know what you think..... Dr. Theo
