Only brought this with me on the trip, so i'm wearing it all week.
@section8:
Have you been drinkin' too much German Beer or is that how you put on a Pilot Strap on a BP?

Your best bet is Bangkok, Thailand! Haven't been there yet, but going there this coming Jan. '90! I've been told that the MBK market is your best choice! If you want Gens,
then Singapore is your best choice! It's the new Gen Watch Mecca of Asia!
Good luck and Happy Trip/Hunting! Please post back your experience and any discovery made! I could use it!

Hahaha! Good story! I'm waiting for the next...........oh, is this a series?
-
nice! i wish they have made a good rep of this or at least give me some good base to mod. saw this in person, love at first glance.
@flex: OMG......you just made me sick! I have that exact same GEN watch/model I traded in for a GEN Blue TT SUB! Now my day is ruined! I wish I had kept that watch!
-
I hope the dealers are reading these! We're close to a hundred! C'mon guys! What would it take!

Hey Rob!
You'll be fine! I would assume she's taking you to BallRoom Dancing lessons......that's great! I had to drag my partner for that last year! It was a chore! I'm lucky that I got the genes for Dancing, makes you the star of the party!
Good luck and have fun! 1-2-3 cha-cha-cha! 1-2-3 cha-cha-cha!

Hey Rob!
If you ever want to do your own tear down project and experiment on this sec@12 itiration, you could use my AP ROO Safari as a Guinea Pig! I would gladly volunteer my new "love" to
know what could be done about this "CANCER"!
Let me know!

haha, guess i should have made the thread title a little more clear. Guess i'll get a lot of views though with people looking to see a gorilla leather strap lol
That or someone hunting you down! LOL! Nice strap! Makes me want to buy a Pilot!

Here is a detailed post on what it is, and how to do the replacement youself.

Hi Rob!
Sorry to bother you! I run across this post and Now the link is gone! Any idea what happened to it? I'm thinking of doing this project on a Fiddy that I just
got, and during my research, I found your post!
Thanks a lot and have a nice weekend!

What strap is this?? It's smokin' on the ROO!
Thanks! Tan Hornback Croc! It's the Safari ROO original Strap!

AP ROOs out of the box is my vote! The best I've seen in Reps! The MBWs were good but he new Sec@12 is pretty amazing! I have opened mine and the quality of detail of the case, the screws of the caseback.....wow! It's worth it's price! And the dial......
and the strap:

I need APs
I feel sorry for you! Once you own one, you'll never stop!
I ended up selling half of my collection
after owning one koz I know I won't be wearing them anymore (only all the Swiss PAMs and Rollies
and a few good ones remained)! IMHO, AP ROOs are one of the most well built Rep out there out of the box!
Open one up and you'll see!
Good luck!

great collection of AP's F ....
Thanks! Just following after your footsteps, Sensi! How's the YM? Hope it's ok!

Monday & Tuesday:
Rest of the week:

You can't compare them! Skyland is not in the same league as the ROO! You look like you have the sec@9 Version! If that's an MBW, that's one of the best version! I have both that & the sec@12, but
I think the MBW is a better build quality wise! IMHO!
Enjoy it! I sold most of my watch after I got my first ROO!
-
You couldn't have asked for a better coach! You've been tutored by the-best-of-the-best!
-
With sec@9 configuration......it's pretty reliable! I have about 16 of them and I have yet to encounter a problem!
-
That was really helpful! Thanks!
So can I send my rep to a watch dealer to have it tested? Will they like turn me down since my watch is a rep?
Hahahaha! You're funny! Your not serious, R u? Don't ever take ur rep to an AD/dealer! A watchsmith is more like it
and make sure to tell him/her that it's a fakey koz some wont touch them!
There's a lot of tutorial on how to waterproof (right word is water resistant) your watch. And one way is to open
your watch and check if you have rubber o-rings on the cover and the crown or tube! If you dont....your watch wont like
water!!!! If it does have it, check and see if its new and not kink or else replace, then apply thin coat of grease (all of
these you could buy from Ofrei.com!). HE valve is really for decoration and useles, I would apply a tin layer of monster
glue or fill it up around and let it dry hard! That would cover any tiny gaps in there if there is any! Put it back together
and make sure the back cover is tight and the rubber o ring does not stick out (sometimes it happens)! Ther you go,
your ready to dive...................in your bath tub!
Jst kidding, if its a none chrono, You could probably take it short
of 100ft. But have it tested just to make sure....if you plan to dive with it! Good luck and have fun here! And I hope
you have a solid family because you will become and addict pretty soon and you need them to understand and be
there for you!

AP Bands and reps?
in The Audemars Piguet Area
Posted
If you have an MBW sec@9, AP Bands is not for you! I just tried it, the case lugs are diff size as the sec@12, which the AP Bands are for and most of the kit.....IMO! Anyone wants to buy 3 AP Bands for sec@12?
PM me!
