  1. brother I could see sgtguk's influence on the way you craft your posts Anyway there are actually two models I like! Checking on shipping options. Good eye mate!
  2. its people like you, armed with such knowledge, who amaze me, honestly. To me, it looks good. Can you please share whats wrong with the parts you mentioned, so I can learn a little please? Thank you kindly in advance!
  3. which brings me to the perennial question S... who has the best sub please? :lol:
  4. OK could be old news to you guys but I got the news of Toro's AP ROO 57th Street from Semaj's post, and did some research on the replica. From the sneak pics, It looks good to me, despite the usual ROO flaws. One interesting thing I must say is that due to the black dial and black datewheel base, the date window placement flaw does not seem as obvious to me. Anyone pre-ordered this yet? Also any information on this model would be much appreciated, guys!
  5. can you grab that sneak photo and post it here dammit!!
  6. you're a cool cat. Yes SEMAJ looks familiar and I wondered about it for a while.. then it hit and I just had to ask! A lot of guys would still find the regular ROOs a super rep. Just not me, and I think I am the minority. Some ROOs, like the diver, Survivor, some variations of the GP etc, I consider to be closer reps than the ones like black themes, navy, etc.
  7. and just to venture a bold guess, is your name James by any chance
  8. Hello Semaj Firstly, thank you for the efforts in generating this list! It is easy for everyone else to come and throw comments and forget that without such a list, there would not even be a platform for those comments! So thank you kindly to you. The AP ROO reps are good, in my opinion, but not super reps, given the fact that the hand pinion and date window placement and depth are dead giveaways upon casual inspections of the dial. Please see the attachment, gen on left, rep on right. The hand pinion tell is hard to avoid when its smack dead center of the dial. Also note the datewheel position of the rep, its further to the ring, closer to the tachy ring, and the datewheel having not as much "depth". From the pusher/crown side, the linear alignment of the crown with the pushers on the rep, compared with the non-aligned crown and pushers on the gen, are also fairly obvious tells. The gen case is also thinner by about 2mm for most of the rep ROO models. This is just my humble 2 cents.. many still pull off the rep ROOs well. Once again thank you for generating this super rep list.. it is very informative for me.
  9. OK guys any takers for a butt kicking session for this insistent young padawan?
  10. Dear P, nobody has the right to kick your ass just because they are around for longer. But when you have been around as long as some of the veterans here have been (I consider myself an experienced noob, not a veteran), the fact is, people are generally more forgiving or understanding toward you, having interacted or dealt with you. Thank you for showing class, and thank you for your courtesy. Newbies with manners are rare as hen with teeth, and I am very happy to see that you have the decency to both PM and reply me. In this way, the wheel of goodwill continues to turn. I got my eyes on you mate!
  11. The way I see it, yes you have 100x more courtesy and grace than a lot of newbies. Good on you! Hang around and I'll see you blossom yet!
  12. Thank you S for the list. IMHO, the ROO models like the black themes,white themes etc need have further improvements to be considered a super rep. To me, its an instant tell even on the wrist 10ft away.
  13. Honestly, what Martijnp made sense. This belongs to the Pam section. Remember that and don't crowd up the AP forum with irrelevant questions. However, I happen to be one of the members who collect both APs and Pams, and I happen to have the 127. I can point you in the right direction. If you are serious about a very accurate to gen 127, look for member marlin22, he builds a very mean 127 (and other 6497 movement pams). They are more expensive but worth it.
  14. No, its so good, that its actual 1.03:1
