  1. chemically, 904 contains more chrome and less carbon that makes the steel more resistant to chemical attack, thats increase a little the "shine" of the material, but is really hard to tell

    i been thinking in merge this model with a sec 12, using the titanium case and hands of this model with the newest sec at 12 movement and dial, it should make the best T3 ever, very expensive but nice possibility

  3. Looks good my friend. However, can't really live with the flaws (plate decoration, etc.). The silver subdial colour looks to be inaccurate too. On the genuine, it's matte silver colour. This one is too shiny.

    maybee applying the GIOARMANI technique to eliminate the gloss in the rolex DSSD dial make the subdials more accurate?? less shiny?

  4. I am sure there is no problem to put a opaque decal there... for example, see my tuto about the Spanish flag on a HBB:

    http://www.rwg.cc/members/Spanish-flag-FEF-Hublo-t89270.html

    You can print on the decal what you want..however...do we have good pictures of the gen? will it look good enough? it is just a decal...

    A picture of the gen follows:

    I think just putting some Cotes de geneve kind-a-like decoration will improve a lot the watch, even without the gears and screws

    IMHO

  5. any more size comments, need to break a tie

    I think too the size is 44 mm but accordingto the press released by AP is regulr 42 mm

    "Cases

    18-carat pink gold, grade 5 titanium or 950 platinum

    Diameter: 42 mm

    Ceramic bezel and pushbuttons

    3D wheel-shaped medallion bearing the inscription Royal Oak Offshore Limited Edition Rubens Barrichello and adorned with the Rubens Barrichello logo

    Water-resistance: 100 m"

  6. AP bands has the band model for this good option for replacement right? at least cheaper than GEN

    regrads

    I think it looks pretty good. I'm wondering about the quality of the strap though.

    Could me hard and expensive to get it replaced by a gen one.

    Also I'm a little concerned about the size.

    Remember that some of us say that the standard ROO is a tank with 42 x 15.5mm.

    This one is even bigger with 44 x 18mm.

    Although the description says polished bezel, it seems like the side is polished and the top is brushed like the gen right?

  7. they can use hard-plastic as carbonfibre case, weight and looks will be very identical.

    pvd ss would look very off imo.

    plasticky!

    I think they could use Corian (yes the hard plastic used for kitchen surfaces) they can mimic the finish of the carbon , is really hard and light so it could be a really nice option for rep all the carbon pressed-AP

  8. Hi

    I have a bit of a problem with the Speedmaster rep I've got. It's too tight on my wrist with 5 links removed but too loose with 4 removed.

    I have seen half-links on ebay for the seamaster, but are these available for the Speedmaster? It would really help me wear this watch more often if I could make it fit a little better.

    All pointers welcome :D

    Thanks

    Adam
