Hands are a super easy fix....just get the gen hands from ofrei for ~$45 (hour, min, and sec). Angela still maintains that she is not a scammer and will refund my money....lol.

My SSD bracelet was crap too...same flaws....get a new bracelet, file and polish the bracelet (it'll still look bad), or stick it on a nato. Some dealers will sell you a dial. GL -bosk

Chargeback initiated but my CC has yet to show the credit on my card...but the customer rep did say wait til next statement. I assume they are investigating. Looking at Angela's PP account, there is no mention of the disputes alot of us must have filed. Oh well. -bosk

No gasket problems here and I've done a normal indy and the indy chrono. I'd suggest getting a crystal press off of the bay. I did re-grease my case o-rings for both watches. -bosk

So what's the best method for removing the only pearl from an OEM insert? I have a watchmaster insert that I want to use for my SSD. TIA Bosk

As an update, they have picked up the watches but have not shipped her new ones yet. -bosk

Yes that is the site.... If you're an AP fan, the choice of straps are greatly limited... PAM fans are spoiled I paid 140 for an alligator strap that doesn't even fit my APs so I don't feel so bad about this purchase. -bosk

Wooohooo.....came home today and the oracle strap was waiting in my mailbox...shipped reg mail from HK for $185 total. Although 185 seems alot to pay for a carbon strap, the quality is exceptional and it includes AP ROO endlinks. I really like the thickness of the strap and it is worlds better that the rubber strap the came with the watch. Due to the construction and design of the strap, it'll never lay flat like a PAM. The sides of the straps conforms nicely to the wrist and is extremely comfortable. Of special importance is that the endlinks fit perfectly with the my rep! No filing needed, just insert the screws. Strap comes with a small screw driver and a rubber pouch/case...nice touches. I would highly recommend one and would purchase another one when I get a MBW ROO. Its much better than whats offered at AP bands whose buckle does not even fit in their bands properly. On with the pics...I'll try to get better pics in daylight at another time: Original strap: Oracle strap: Some poor wrist shots....difficult to hold the arm steady due to the weight of the watch...and yes I have small wrists

Besides the AP watches, I'd like a PAM111 Toubillion with the blue dot the circles twice as fast as the sec hand and an AM/PM fucntion at 3....gen is about 69000 euros? -bosk

The Corum seems perfectly normal....some A7750 are more noisy than others but that is to be expected. Even if the chrono hands are off....you're out of luck. Expect what u paid for. Be happy the crystal is sapphire and thick....an AR treatment might help the distortion. Lume on reps (or lack of) is a known factor. I'm not sure about the J12 but again the Asian version was purchased. White is never a good choice in ceramics due to defects showing up. How much was the J12? There's a reason why some of the cermaics are super expensive. Perhaps if the pic shows the word "automatic" then u should have a case. -bosk

Superb!....but the lume is off color perhaps due to not applying enough on or not applying a white paint background? Can't tell by the pics but lume looks abit transparent. I almost purchased the gen of watch off of ebay. -bosk

Very nice! Did they have to drill a new whole in the case for the crown tube to account for the asymetric pusher/crown orientation? I'm curious if MBW got a new case constructed or they just modified the generic ROO case. thanks bosk

Picked mine up from the post office today. White date-wheel and it is the same size as my MBW ROO. bosk

Mine is in US customs as I write this....but purchased from KING....funny that King's pics shows a white date wheel which is more accurate to the Paris. IMO, the black one looks better. Those pics look awesome.

Rep dial does pale in comparison to the gen dial but its soooooo easy to slap on a gen dial and gen hands. With the correct He position.....the watch becomes a super rep The gen electric blue dial is just fantastic. With Chieftang, new double AR (very little tint) the dial should really pop.

ROO is always eye-candy. I was debating whether to get another MBW ROO or two other watches (AP RO chrono (paris) and Hublot blk magic pvd). I went with the two other watches -bosk

No more hublots on Josh's or Trusty's sites? Seems like they were all un-listed. thanks bosk

Its a custom mod of my 38 mm pilot. It was sort of boring and I had an extra red sec hand around. Did a super-lume on the dial and the orginal hands. I wish I had a better bund strap tho.....as pictured is from a fossil....lol -bosk

Got my crystals and have installed them.....wow on the new AP process....crystal totally disappears but I sort of like the older blueness of the old run too....can't decide which one I like better. The new AR process really brings out the colors on the dial. This is a perfect AR for SMPs, IMO, since that wave dial will look awesome without the blue tint.

one screw driver standing up against a table...watch sideways....while unscrewing with another screw driver from the top with one hand holding the bottom screw driver and watch in place. sounds fun right?

Its a given that she will get negative feedback if she does not resolve the issue. Also her paypal account will be dead with all the disputes against it. I know it will take some time to resolve the issue and am shipping my watch back to her US location today. no need for threats, imo -bosk

Looks like ryaku got a decent black one.

Got my black smp today but it was the wrong watch with incorrect HE position. currently in negotiations with angela as what to do but I'm not spending $25 to ship it back to China. Paypal and ioffer disputes will likely follow. -bosk

I just got my tracking info too....came thru a paypal shipping notice. -bosk

Very cool! Thanks for the update Chief. -bosk
