Now that the 1st attempt of the ss version is out I am loving the black ceramic even more.

Theo

The DIVER strap will fit your wrist....for sure.

Theo

We won´t see a V3 shortly....the factory has to sell the existing stock first...and they build huge stocks due to a possible demand.

Anyway....IF the factory plans a V3, we and the dealers are amongst the last to know

Theo

I would be in for one...love green on black.

Allthough I think it will not happen....

Theo

Great post Theo! Thanks for sharing you knowledge on AP's

...Any comment on the City o Sails???

I don´t think there is any City of sails out there in the rep world that is worth mentioning.

Those watches that use the caseback engraving are from minor quality.....the "Paris Boutique" black/grey dial has a nice appearance but thats all.

Theo

Thanks for the run down, MADRED... One question: What can you tell me about fitting gen straps to sec@12 cases? Direct fit, conversion link kit needed, or strap mods needed?

Thanks!

The newer models sec@12 are perfect for gen straps...you´ll find a 1:1 fit without any problems. Use the rep-endlinks as they are correctly fitting the case and the strap.

The "older" sec@12 models can be a bit more difficult....but with some shaping down the endlinks they will fit as well.

Theo

The straps are nice indeed....but I cannot handle the connection between a DIVER and these exotic straps....errrh, yeah a croc lives in the waters...kind of

Anyway, try colored rubbers like white, red....

Theo

But if you want a BELSTAFF New Panther, Brad or Clooney jacket in leather (black, brown, tan, olive,...) you need to visit filmjackets.com/forum

You´ll find a 42 pages long thread about a guy called Saffi, he is doing these jackets in fine leather, you can choose standard size or adjust the size where needed.

I bought many jackets from him allready....but you will only get an exact copy of the jacket, not a rep-jacket with logos!

Priced at around 170GBP you get a top-notch jacket for a bargain.

Cheers

Theo

Mmmh....if they will ever do the ALLBLACK?

I requested an ALLBLACK Raimond Weil some months ago....never happened allthough it would be so easy.

Theo

Aha....if you need help finding the most decent RO Jumbo...gimme a shout.

Theo

The tuxedo dial is wonderful...me like.

Gen or Rep???? My eyes are AP trained and lost their ability to spot PAM-reps

Theo

We were told that the sandblasted Titanium finish was done on a bare case. The V2 had a brushed finish and was re-done with a sandblasted finish.

We might see a difference when compared side-by-side with a lense/magnifier.

Anyway, still one of the nicest ROO´s around.

Theo

I had the burnt blue version...very nice watch indeed....but it was far too small for my taste.

As I am used to wear AP ROO´s I was not feeling for the Nautilus and sold it some days after receipt.

Anyway, AP RO Jumbo is more my taste and its the same size but wears much larger due to the case constrauction.

Cheers and enjoy it,

Theo

:clapping:

Yeah thats the one I want

Theo

Guys....I will update the list from time to time when new ROO´s hit the market or when I get another, different model in my hands that is not yet listed.

Cheers and thx for your kind works.....

Theo

Great work done....enjoy it.

Theo

Me like....any chance to see the allblack version soon?

Theo

There is a gen strap in short size....but it will take ages to order....it will be highly priced due to the wider tapered size (the standard RC rubber strap is 180$).

But you can look at APBands straps....they´ll have the wider tapered straps...but rubber, I fear no.

But you can buy a standard rubber in short size...120$ plus an extra deployment buckle from our dealers (around 30$).

Theo

Me like your collection...very diverse.

Now whats next???

Theo

I like it a lot....very nice piece.

But still....I am sitting on the fence waiting for the ss version to be released one day.

Theo

Looks quite cool...was offered the same watch in a trade but I am not the black & white guy.....

Where it well and....see if Mikey2008 can still offer his nice and cheap croc grain straps, would be a nice upgrade.

Theo

hola amigo....muchas gracias...and thx for the flowers.

Allways trying to help and spread my knowledge over the forum.

I thought it was time doing so as I got 2 PM´s daily on average asking me for AP advice

Cheers

Theo

There have been bad examples of this watch when the Shaq first showed up....but as you mentioned sec@9 and poore craftmenship.

But your Don Ramon is a nice substitute and even nicer with a good hornback....or is it just in your avatar?

Cheers

Theo

Good to see these babies arrive to new good homes around the globe, cool.

Theo

Great collection so far.....now you need to build up a bit more variety.

And of course you need to rid of that Don Ramon ROO....you don´t need that....you can sell it to me

Cheers mate

Theo
