Yes I own a couple chrono watches and rarely use the chrono function. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone think they'll ever make a gen spec working chrono Daytona?

@Admin my vote is eighty-six the classified adverts and go back to the user friendly trading zone - sales thread.

Yes I agree! The new sales advert m2m is quite dreadful! The old system was better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Both clasp in my review are gen. I would rate the gen as being much better in terms of engraving and functioning. This is why I only replaced the clasp and not the entire bracelet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Legend refinished and rethreaded the screws. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Depends on your style preference. I’m a sub guy so I own the Noob V6s A2836 w/ V7 insert and love it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good day members, Here’s my honest and transparent review of our very own AP guru and RWG crew member Legend! I’ll keep this a short and to the point as possible. I’ve never been an AP guy and my eye has always been towards Rollie’s and PAM’s until.......BAM! The release of the AP forged carbon and ceramic rep models. I was reluctant to purchase any AP as the price does not match my profession alas we’ve all had or seen this discussion on the forums. I fought the urge for a few years, yes a few years until recently I found out the Noob V4(supposedly the most accurate)was discontinued by the factory and only available for purchase M2M. I found one for sale on RWG and the journey began. Once I received the watch I simply could not take it off my wrist! It was the most comfortable and light watch I’ve ever worn! The stealthy black carbon case with splash of yellow is just plain sexy and screams renaissance man! Then tragedy struck! The deco rotor plate broke☹️ I replaced it but found the screws were stripped from previous owner and the movement was shot![emoji33][emoji37] So my dilemma was to find a forum Watchsmith that would work on AP’s. In comes Legend! After researching all forums I found his specialty was modding APs to gen like status. Contacting Legend was a breeze and communication is very easy, concise, and to the point! He explains in detail very well. Off I ship my watch overseas and the wait begins. Legend evaluated my watch and gave my a complete breakdown estimate of work needed and optional mods. To be completely honest I was surprised by his prices and thought they were on the expensive end but after his explanation and reviewing the going prices of a Legend modded AP FC Diver M2M I realized his work is “Legendary” and as always you get what you pay for! Legend was very honest in his assessment of my watch and what he thought I truly needed and didn’t need. I opted for the case polishing(bring out carbon pattern per gen), Omega datewheel(better font), rebuild of the A2824(dirty and to much oil), screws polished and rethreaded, and pressure testing. Legend takes great pride in his craft and wanted to make sure I was truly satisfied with the final results of my AP FC Diver. My Diver before Legend mod I received my watch back after a little over two weeks from Singapore. Legend does pay return ship and offers a six month movement warranty. All I could say was WHOA!!!! The watch is gorgeous and his rebuilt A2824 runs like a dream! Well over 42 hours power reserve, though I haven’t timed it. After Legend mod! Off into the sunset with my Legend modded AP! So much for the short review! My final take on Legend’s work. He is a master of his craft and takes great pride in his work along with customer satisfaction however be prepared to spend cash but the end result is well worth the price of admission! Enjoy to the max! Blessings, Indy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks to @Legend my AP is back up and running very well. The screws were stripped from previous owner that's why I couldn't get them to secure.

I read several threads on the difference between gen and rep Omega bracelets and wanted to find out for myself if it's worth the cost. I was able to acquire a gently used gen at a very good price! Here's my take the gen is lighter and the links are rounder. It feels slightly better on the skin but not by much. The average person would not notice. Being the rep bracelet is heavier and shinier most untrained would think it gen. The rep bracelet does have slightly more sheen to it. My thoughts are the rep bracelet is fantastic and good enough unless you're building a super uber franken gen is not necessary. Below are pics of my LMPO with rep bracelet and gen clasp and the gen bracelet I acquired. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice piece! Toro is pretty stand up guy. I've ordered several pieces from him and he always makes good on any issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
