I got mine changed from a watchsmith....his comments were that the watch is very well constructed and that it took him a fair bit of time to change the bezel. So I guess it's not that simple as you have to open up the movement.
Thanks! to the watchsmith it will go. I dont want another Destroy-It-Yourself project.

i know there is a step by step tutorial on how to replace the bezel. But how hard is it to change the bezel? Is it something any watchmaker can do? Or is it easy to DIY?

hmm.. yeah it really isnt lume. i assume that the numerals arnt glued to the dial? or maybe it is the solvent of the lume? but yeah ive been told it is glue and apparently the problem is found in white dial APROOs.

I have two rubberclad APROOs w/ secs at 12. The first one arrived flawless. The second arrived with scratches on the bezel. While I have been waiting for a better rubber bezel, the rubber seem to disintegrated on its own. Could it be the weather? I dunno. Anyway, about a month ago I have discovered that the lume has spread to the sides of the numerals. My first APROO hasnt shown any signs of the "leaking" lume. Anybody have the same problem? I will surely demand for a replacement on this one.
Sorry for the phone cam pics.

excellent shots!!! the beauty of it captured nicely..
may i know your wrist size? it wears like a 40mm if it was my wrist.

ive got two and both started to peel..
i would have asked for a replacement but then it will also peel if it is of the same quality.. also replacing the bezel looks hard.

ive been looking at panatime and apbands.. didnt find any rubber straps..
is the APROO w/ sec at 12 the newer or older case?
what is the use of the conversion kit?
thanks again.

I got my friend the APROO w/ secs at 12. I tried it on but the last hole on the strap is still a bit loose. The size of the watch is just right for my frame it is just that ive got skinny wrists ~ 6.75". Any source for a shorter rubber strap? Thanks.

from what i read from rep watches FAQ for the A7750:
top pusher is for starting and stopping..
bottom is for reset.
Is this correct?
I have one coming today and will check.
Edit.. it is the opposite.. top is for reset, bottom for start and stop..
just got mine.. the chronos reset ok..

My first post here. Been lurking for a while. The Graham Chronofighther is my first replica bought because of feedback from this forum. And yes, I have a problem with the chrono. The timer hand won't reset back to 12'o clock position when top pusher is pressed. It's reset back to around 9'o clock position.
Is there anyway to fix this myself? Although the dealer has agreed to let me send it back to fix, I hate to wait anxioulsy for at least 2-3 weeks for the watch to arrive. Thanks in advance.

The two tone bracelet for the BCE is not available while the Bentley GTs have them. Will the Bentley's bracelet fit the BCE? They are both 20mm.
