I am getting a new dial and I want to send it to vaccum for a relume. Vac told me yesterday that enough pictures are here but I couln't find any. So can you post some pics of the Black Themes with vac lume? Dayshot and lumeshot please.

Yes, but not much

looking really good

I like to wear the rubber when it is hot outside

you need to have another movement, the DW spacing on the gen will not fit the A7750

it was sold for 400

great review on a great watch

Guys, it looks like I am not able to do it this year, I will know in 3 days.

It will look great with the Geneve finish, top mod on that rep. I will visit you soon, my Barrichello is on the way, will have it tomorrow. For the noobs, the gen has a Geneve finish on the top plate, also you can see some gears and screws through the dial. The Rep just has a plain plate. The rep has also a A7750 movement in it, not this watch anymore. Great work Domi.

Yes, and here is the link and the bezel is already switched about 90 deg, I took the pic when the watch came from reluming, Uwe's first AP, so he didn't know :thumbsupsmileyanim:

yes, ask your friend Domi about it, he has it on his wrist today

so no opinion?

looks great

thx for the feedback, I have canceled this project and ordered a Baricello, lots of mods can be done with that watch

no difference?

why don't you get another clasp from one of the dealers? I think it will be not more then 10 USD?

I got my first AP ROO this year in March and since this time, I really like the AP ROO series. When I received the watch, I asked my friend Uwe for AR. The gen doesn't have it but it makes a big difference. You can read about this here: http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/making-off-dismantling-ap-because-51262.html Now it turned out that this watch became one of my favorite watches and as we all know, the AP with sec at 12 had some reliability issues in the past and it is also known, that the second hand at 12 is jerking around. So you cannot take the watch to the AD. Otherwise a great rep. Most of you know me, I always need a perfect rep and I do not buy junk, so I asked my friend Domi what to do and today I visited him with my watch. Couldn't wait another 2 weeks to get that baby back, I had it on my wrist maybe 10 days since I got it in March. My behavior was like a little kid, so I drove 500 km round trip but came back with my watch. So here we go, the full nine yards, Valjoux ETA 7750 replacement and modding of the upper plate which is carrying the transfer gear. When the Chinese designed this movement they didn't buffer every transfer gear with a jewel and that is what is causing the jerking of the second hand at 12. But we have Domi and he is a great guy. He changed the A7750 and replaced it with the Eta 7750, he added jewels to the upper plate and now I have a watch which is running like a champ. No, absolutely no jerking of the second hand, it runs like a second hand on a ETA 7750 @ 9. Winding the movement feels gen, starting and resetting the chrono feels gen, the look of the watch feels gen, so what else do you need. Now here are some pics Upper plate, you can see the 2 missing jewels here you see the missing jewel next to the hole which is now a little bigger as it was before Jewel added final look at the transfer gears for sec @ 12 here the watch All I can say, thanks to Domi, great guy to work with thanks also to Uwe for the great AR

I do not care about the gen. here is mine with AR

thanks a lot, so I also asume the crystal will fit the SS bracelet. Didn't know it was a green dial, so it will be a fantasy watch. But I still like it.

I am wondering if the rubber-clad bezel is exchangeable with the brushed ss bezel. I wanted to build a AP ROO MONTNAPOLEONE and use the AP ROO with rubber - clad for it. This is the Montnapoleone this is the one I want to use http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/royal-oak-offshore-ultimate-rubberclad-black-updated/

No, it is just a plain dial, they are asking 700 Euro for it. I told the seller I would be interested in the deal if he could provide gen hands with the deal.

How much would you pay for a gen dial and gen hands for an AP ROO? I have seen some on ebay, just wanted to find out your opinion on the price.

I am trying to replace the clasp on the standard AP strap with a buckle. Question now is, what is the secret to take the clasp off without damaging it. I took the screw off but that really makes no difference. Here is a pic off it....

Domi did this a few weeks ago and put a valjoux 7750 in an AP and used the upper plate

I spent my day with Domi today and he may come also
