OK its official.
I will have to sell 1 kidney.........i need to buy 3x AP ROO, 2x Chopard Gran Turismo's 1x 194 and save money for a 7753 based 187
The engraving is now going to be done, this is the blank buckle ready to go.
P.S that kidney is still on offer
Puretime has posted this up on TRC.
Its a rep divers strap, and soon to be added clasp (the one with the submarine logo)
Apparently the work has been outsourced and will be finished in about 2 weeks!
This has been a good week.

i dont know the exact weight, but it is substantial.
It made out of the same material as the PAM individual boxes, so weighs about 4 times as much as one of them.
BTW i decided to remove to Panerai plate from the top, and just leave the one on the inside.
It comes with about 5 spare ones anyway!

SAFARI DIAL!!!!!!!!
I personally would much prefer an accurate subdial layout.
I know its not easy, and comes with its own share of problems, and to be honest i would eventually end up getting one if it came out with a standard 7750 layout, but i just feel that if the oppurtunity is there to possibly make a movt that can make this rep 99% then it should be encouraged.
I do understand peoples concerns about the movt reliability, maybe i too would feel different if i had a doa/malfunctioning 7750, modded or not.
At the right price, i would get a black dial rubber clad + the safari + the ADC versions.
They might even do the Jay-Z LTD Edition
BTW - I found this on one of the AP forums
Its the weight of the different models
The stainless chrono is 166 grams (normal sized royal oak)
The titanium Off Shore is 161 grams
The stainless Off Shore is 200 grams
The 18kt chrono is a big 281 grams
Maybe good for future reference
Is it just me, or is everyone passing the time just staring at the pics sql_pl posted of the gens and dreaming about time machines and flux capacitors that can take you 6 months into the future!?
........maybe its just me
Franken watches.
Genuine BIC biro applied case, hands, dial and strap
Aftermarket photocopy paper bought from Staples stationary (and secret watch spares) outlet.
Please no PM's asking if i can get anymore aftermarket paper, they only had 4,000 boxes and were only getting another 900,000 boxes for the rest of the year, so its strictly limited supply.
Lookie what came today!
........hmmmm..............i wonder where i'll put the new 1:1 AP ROO rep when it comes out
