  2. Mate you are obsessed with the LBJ it seems! But there is no reason not to be... congrats and wear her well.
  3. You're right bro the RO is designed to be a sleek dress watch. Unfortunately there is no perfect rep of the RO yet. All versions got their own flaws but currently, among them all, the TF has the best dial in my opinion, and even that is flawed. The watch looks so simple and basic but none of the factories released an acceptable rep in my opinion. So yes bro stick to what you already own. I think it's about how you wear it. And you're doing a good job doing so. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. The double AR mod would accentuate the details of the dial. So yes, if dial details are reasonably good. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. The thickness of the case is usually calculated to accommodate the movement within as you well know. Technically, it is of course possible to shave or mill the case; that is the norm when building ROO frankens. The question is, if there is sufficient clearance for the movement after thinning the case/caseback.
  6. I am still in the process of perfecting the cyclop, mainly for clarity and achieving a flat, even magnification across all dates.. Yes when it is perfected to my satisfaction, I would be delighted to share it with fellow members for a nominal fee... Thank you very much for your kind and polite comments, I always appreciate posts like yours!

  10. Actually I would say that the slots are too big, and the screws are not cut well enough. But the gaps are really unsightly, and since the screws form a significant part of the look of a 15400, I would say that it looks unacceptable in this case. It could be just that particular watch though.. Yes and that too... Again, correct. The screw fitment is just horrendous, and the screws themselves look cheap and off.. To me, case back screw flaws are more forgivable obviously but the ones on the bezel are pure ugliness.
  11. First, I was referring to the bezel screws actually. The gen screws, if you have seen them, sit perfectly aligned in their slots around the bezel, without gaps, and slightly recessed. The edges and points of each screw would align perfectly, or at least very well with the slot.The top profile of each screw is even and flat, and polished to a perfect finish in the genuine watch. We can not realistically expect the same fit and finish in the rep of course, but when I tell you that the fit is bad, at least for the specimen shown in the pic, it means it really is bad, as I am more forgiving than the others in such details. The good news is, yes the screws can be modded by those who know how. Its just that I would expect the factory release to be somewhat better.
  12. The screws look very bad. Stay away until they address this issue! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  15. Maybe if you get the shop to remove the plastic covering it'll look a lot better mate? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Yes Legend is around this time. Couple of months for QC? Lol that must be a new record of sorts mate. QC wise this watch is about as good as it gets. I can't comment on the movement health though. I would accept this piece. You are correct, it looks good. Congrats on your acquisition and wear her well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. You can try PMing member Profsteve. His work is in area is exemplary.
  18. A profligate and meaningless display of ostentatious behavior. Thumbs down.
  19. To me, the type of AR you want to install is a matter of personal preference. If you want it to be accurate looking, remember the gen diver does not have double AR, but excellent single AR on the underside of the crystal. The early AP ROOs did not even have AR on their crystals!
  20. Well you know what they say about diamonds being a girl's best friend mate.. I think the diamonds just found a new best friend in you
