  1. I'd go for Black Themes over the Volcano just because of aesthetics. The bright orange on the Volcano is very distastefully done and am still shocked as to why AP came out with that color....it is just plain ugly.

    And as for aftermarket straps, lots of people here including myself favor StrapLuxe over Apbands. You may consider trying them out.

    For the aftermarket straps that are available, strapluxe doesn't have the hornback strap and AP Bands would tae about 3-5 weeks to deliver it. Is there anywhere else i can source it from, Would be open to buying a gen strap as well.

  2. Ive been contemplating on a new watch for a while....had my eyes on the updated Barichello version...but the watch doesn't seem to be up to the mark as yet....Now deciding on whether to go go for the Black Themes or the Volcano..could someone please comment on which of them is more accurate as comared to the gym..also for an aftermarket strap...is apbands the best or are there other dealers for the same..

  3. Did it happen all of a sudden or has it given any signs that made you suspicious about its oncoming malfunction??It is strange and we need The Zigmeister's advice on that subject...Consider asking advice from the knowledge base section of the forum :g:

    It happened all of a sudden...i used to wear the watch on a regular basis..and never gave me any problem...

  4. First of all i would like to apologise for the quality of the pic but i took it on the hurry so don't expect much :blink:

    dude82 during those 6 months that you have your watch did you ever experience something like that with the date? Did you observe any misalignment of the date wheel or the problem occured suddenly one day?? For me this is a frequent phenomenon but a few minutes after wearing the watch it aligns perfectly! Was that your case,too?

    It does look something like your watch...however the watch doesn't work for more than 1 minute..it seconds hand just stalls after one minute..

  5. are you sure the watch is not @ the AM times to where you cannot adjust the date?!?!

    change the time to 2PM and see if you have the problem!

    Thats one of the first things i had thought off..but the same does not seem to change the date...has anyone else faced a similar problem..

  6. I have a breitling Chronomat Ultimate Edition (swiss 7750 version) which i had purchased last year. Although the watch has never given me any problem, it recently has not been working properly. The date window seems to be stuck between the 14th and the 15th and even when i move the screw at one-click i am unable to change the same. However at two clicks i am able to change the time and even the chronometers are functioning properly. When i shake the watch..the seconds hand starts sweeping and stops exactly after one minute. Can anyone please help me on how to fix this problem.

    Thanks

  7. You can either get one from APbands or from AP directly. I can't tell you the difference in quality as I've never owned an APands strap before, but the GEN AP hornback is more expensive by around USD200.

    Here's my Volcano with a GEN AP hornback. I was looking at a Strapluxe before that but too bad they don't offer hornbacks.

    I checked with the AP dealer closest to my place and he doesn't have the volcano or the strap for the volcano..can you suggest anyother place where i might be able to order it...

  8. id consider the black themes. it is by far the most authentic looking rep by far. also its not a limited edition so it wont be so unbeleivable to own:) i have the safari and although i believe the dial to be wrong, changing the strap into a black colored one has truly made a difference. it no longer looks like a safari.

    Hi,

    Can you please post a picture of the watch you refering to.

    Thanks

  9. Hi,

    Ive been doing some research on the AP ROO and have finally decided to get the one with seconds running at 12. Wanna know the pros and cons that the watch might have and also as to which version would be the most accurate of the ones that are being offered by our dealers (the version with correct date mag). The ones that i am interested are:

    Volcano
