reprep

I just received my 116519LN and it is a spectacular rep. The dial color is amazing...it changes color/texture depending upon the light source just like the gen. Only wish it weight a bit more...it comes in at 112grams...which borders on "flimsy" IHMO.  I know the gen is solid gold (and 160grams), but it would be nice if they could find a way to add some heft to this rep.

Hublot Experts....I have a beautiful HBB V1. Looking for a more gen-like crystal (that peaks out above the bezel). Any suggestions?

Just to clarify before ordering...these DWs will fit a Noob ROO with A7750 and Noob Diver with A28XX movements?

Just got this back from Vac. I'm really enjoying this baby!

I have a TG V1 with an ETA7750 transplanted. Awesome watch, I've worn it daily for about 2 years. Understated, yet always recognized by the WISes. Great travel watch. My watchsmith that did the conversion commented on the unbelievable quality of the dial finish. It obviously keeps great time with the ETA movement. I've worn it so much I've almost worn out the strap!

I had Rex lume my Rubberclad and the lume looked exactly like this one about 1 month after I got it back. Splotchy, uneven and over the next 6 months degraded to the point of looking so bad I could not wear it. Sent it off to Vac for a relume and although it took 4 months, it came back perfect and glowing like a torch. I won't let Rex touch any watch of mine again.

Wow, I've got four AP Bands straps, and they have looked great. The one you posted is the worst stitching job I've ever seen! I'd send that SoB back.

Anyone have a list of the current dealer AP offerings with A/Rd cyclops?

Had my LV superlumed by Big Red Joe years ago, now I've lost the pearl out of the bezel. Any ideas on where I could source another lumed pearl?

Vac,

I have a ROO sec@12 that needs a service. Can you fit me in?

Here's mine with a hornback strap and an AP Bands PVD finished buckle.

I bought one from AP Bands for my EOD. Nice PVD coating...real quality piece.

XML module on EuroTimez site is still not working.

The Oris TT3 Phamtom. Very cool & affordable piece with a 7750 movement.

That Daytona is not what he was wearing on the live TV shots.

The Rolex he was wearing after the win and during the McEnroe interview had a pale blue roman numeral dial and oyster style bracelet.....looked like the new 41mm DD Platinum to me. Check the youtube repeats of the interview.

Wow! That's exactly what I was looking for....great pics, awesome strap, very nice AP. Thanks!

Has anyone purused the Citizen "Campanola" line of quartz watches? They are amazing! Hand assembled, hand lacquered dials, minute repeater functions, and the case finish blows any Rolex into the weeds....on and on.

Thanks for the shots!

Anyone have a wrist shot of the ROO Navy on the blue strap?

I'd like to see what the AP ROO Navy looks like "in person"...would someone please post a wrist shot?

I'd like to see some actual member's shots of this watch. I've considered the AP ROO Navy as well, but the blue...particularly on the pushers and crown does not seem to be right. Seems too light blue.....the gen is quite dark in appearance by comparison. The shots on the dealer's sites are always "altered"....I'd like to see some "real" pictures.

Anyone swim in their new sec@12 ROO? Wondering if it is water resistant/waterproof for a quick dip in a pool.

What's the lume like on the Volcano?

Thanks for reposting the pic! To answer the previous question, I got the watch from Pure Time...great communication and shipping.

I removed the peeling bezel (with the help of the post detaileding the AP ROO bezel removal proceedure) and used laquer thinner to remove the rest of the thin rubber coating. It came off very easily. The bezel is PVD coated underneath the cheap rubber coating, and actually looks pretty damn good. Put it back together and am very happy with the result. The cartel should just offer them this way to begin with and save everyone the hastle.
