Cheers all,
today, 5 years ago I entered this forum....from all the forea there are, this is my home-base and I love to log in daily to read all the news posted over the night.
I consider myself a WIS.....so don´t ask me anything beside watches
Cheers for the next 5 years....thanx T. for having me
Theo
That hurts....but every first ding hurts....on the other hand it will show the love to your watch.
Anyway, if you really want to, you have to ask every dealer if he sells AP parts as spares....I don´t know any who does allthough I am a very good customer when it comes to AP.
Theo
Thx mate....I owned 3 EoD´s to that time and wanted to see how a complete black ROO would look like...today I would exchange the bezel screws as well.
Cheers
Theo
YES...the caseback is the best part of it...............NOT
The limitation No is placed wrong, sized wrong and the engraving is done different....further more they did XXXX/1500 .... but the gen only comes in 500 units
But at least the rep-factory heard all the voices bagging for a bigger production unit hahahaha
Theo
.....so maybe this was just a design-gimmick for the SIHH (SURVIVOR=military tool=combat/rifle-style) but never made it to production.
We will never know and I am not sure if the AP CEO I spoke to had no clue or was not allowed to tell
Theo
....3 years ago I had been invited by AP and OP to the SIHH in Geneva to see the new releases.
So I had the chance to finger the watch and drool on it for some time. As I asked for these dots on one of the sides I got only a smile as answer
Those people I know with a gen SURVIVOR (2 collectors) don´t have those dots or they are gone or they never noticed.
This was my knowledge todate.....but teach me wrong, .... cheers
Theo
Some answers:
- the red/green dots are ONLY on one side of the case....noone knows what they are there for
- the rep-hornback sucks indeed....APBands is a very good choice, me SURVIVOR above sports a Simona strap with integrated plots covered in croc leather...veeery nice but also veeery expensive
- there is a special thread here showing all possible AP strap options from 3rd party suppliers...also some rep-straps are nice quality
Theo
FINALLY...the wait is over.
I allready placed my order with my dealer and I will do a full review with pics when I receive the watch.
First impression....looks great (beside two minor flaws...non-polished edges and caseback engraving too bold) and I love the look of sandblasted Titanium.
Brushed Titanium (at least the Ti AP´s) have a nearly equal look to ss....only the feel is different!
Sandblasted Titanium has a darker, wilder and rougher look.
So IMHO this AP ROO is the first to have a very different look compaired to all the other ss-models!
I have a dark-grey croc strap waiting for her to arrive...this will kick ...
Theo
Yes....allthough it is the hunt and search for parts to get a project started that is the icing on the cake....once done we should keep it to remind us for amount of work and money that we spent.
Theo
Now that these new 005´s show up.....how about the 000?
Please forgive me for that question but I am soo far away from the rep-PAM business at the moment.
