asf Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 This is going to be my first AP ROO and I REALLY REALLY need a white dialed watch. I have too man black dials (rolex, Blacksteel, PAM's) I know the safari has some faults but what about other white dialed sec @12's. does the white AP ROO with black numbering and white subdial really exist or is it a fantasty?
asf Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Posted June 21, 2010 Thanks for the help! I'll go with the silver themes.
daytonaboy Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Thanks for the help! I'll go with the silver themes. Great choice - but do be mindful of the bezel hex bolts. Find a vendor willing to send QC pics.
Guest Sql_pl Posted June 21, 2010 Report Posted June 21, 2010 Or correct them once you have it in your hands. It is not difficult.
asf Posted June 22, 2010 Author Report Posted June 22, 2010 Or correct them once you have it in your hands. It is not difficult. Thanks for the insight about that. So the bolts can be/missing? I usually use Mary and she's good about sending pictures and fixing the problem. Had that happen with a Ocean Racer buckle. she almost sent me the SA version.
MADRED7 Posted June 22, 2010 Report Posted June 22, 2010 The hex screws are not very well machined and leave small gaps between screw-head and bezel. Thats an issue all newer ROO
asf Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Posted June 23, 2010 Is this one even based off a gen? http://www.trustywatchguy.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=241_243&products_id=3013
MADRED7 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 Is this one even based off a gen? http://www.trustywatchguy.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=241_243&products_id=3013 NO....this one was their first attempt to copy a SAFARI, but the factories mixed things up with the white Themes, SINCERE and Safari. The watch is on Andrews site for over 2 years now. I strongly believe there is only 2 choices for ya....s
MADRED7 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Posted June 23, 2010 The NAVY is nice....I had it for some weeks until I went to my AD in town and compared to the gen.....the gen dial is WHITE, pure WHITE....the rep dial is not that white and that bothered me so much that I sold it. A simple farmer needs a simple watch. Go for the PANDA (aka silver dial) Theo
asf Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Posted June 23, 2010 Madred7, thank you for all your help man!
