thogaa Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 These 3 were all on holiday at Uncle Francisco's and came back better than ever. Some pics. Enjoy AP Roo sex@12 RG - Mod to the usual issues and reluming done The lume is absolutely out of this world. Great job AP Roo sex@12 Gstaad Classic Titanium. AP BANDS Montoya strap, serviced and relumed by Francisco: Excellent lume And last my brilliant Silver Themes - (Panda dial) AP BANDS genuine shark skin strap, serviced sex@12 corrected by Francisco. Haven't yet had the time to fix the bezel screws. The maker put some kind of black sealer making them impossible to remove from the bezel And the lume
wheaton26 Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 And the lume lol. beautiful collection you have there! i miss my fully modded rg rubberclad ...
Mickey Padge Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Lovely pictures, I love AP watches too, thanks for sharing! Care to trade your silver themes for my volcano? Fully serviced via Domi on an APbands strap
txcollector Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Very nice collection. I just have one but I love my Vac lumed black themes. I keep wondering about the rubber clad. That gold one is stunning.
djscotie Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 What was Fransico's turn around time on the watches? I have two AP's waiting for some mod/service treatment and possibly a relume too.
thogaa Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Posted June 30, 2010 What was Fransico's turn around time on the watches? I have two AP's waiting for some mod/service treatment and possibly a relume too. Hmm. This job took about 3-4 weeks - much delayed by a set of hands and some screws that I needed to source from Andrew. - But I would imagine a couple of weeks if nothing goes wrong and depending on the amount of work needed doing.
scotch Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 Beautiful, thanks for sharing! RG looks gorgeous
vadaviaiciap Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 I don't understand: is it possible to relume the silver themes ? the darker lume is grey not black, isn'it ? Please let me Know, I love silver themes but now is out of stock

Please let me Know, I love silver themes but now is out of stock The Silver Themes rep has no lume at all. I'm not sure the gen has..?
txcollector Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 The gen has lume but it's very weak (all of them for that matter) as far as I know. They are no Omega when it comes to lume. It doesn't really make a ton of difference to have it relumed.
alanytical Posted June 30, 2010 Report Posted June 30, 2010 (edited) The sharky strap looks very good on the silver themes. Here's a video of my Montoya with an AP Bands Montoya style strap. Edited June 30, 2010 by alanytical

Thank you for the reply. I am going to send him my Silver Themes and Volcano after my next trip offshore. Can I ask how durable the RG is on your rubberclad? I am torn between the SS rubberlcad and RG, but am put off by the RG's durability. I too am getting to be an AP nut with a Silver Themes & Volcano currently in my collection with (hopefully) a rubberclad on its way. Edited June 30, 2010 by djscotie
MADRED7 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Thomas, thanks for posting your beauties.....I like all of them (especially the GSTAAD). Now I have to think again about my new project....errrh, while we

usctrojans11 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 Does anyone notice those engravings on the back of the RG ROO? Is that normal? Those look like cartoon characters. What is it.
alanytical Posted July 1, 2010 Report Posted July 1, 2010 (edited) Does anyone notice those engravings on the back of the RG ROO? Is that normal? Those look like cartoon characters. What is it. Likely officially recognized hallmarks Poinçon I know that 750 = 18K Edited July 1, 2010 by alanytical
Francisco Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 (edited) Thanks friend for sharing these very well done pictures. Enjoy the watches! Regards, Francisco Edited July 3, 2010 by Francisco
G.Curcio Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 Does anyone notice those engravings on the back of the RG ROO? Is that normal? Those look like cartoon characters. What is it. They are hallmarks, an official mark or series of marks struck on items made of precious metals
TeeJay Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 They look fantastic As for this: And the lume Get it black-lumed, keep the look, gain the glow
sander Posted July 3, 2010 Report Posted July 3, 2010 Great collection! Love the shark strap. Was it an easy fit with the rep conversion kit?
thogaa Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Posted July 3, 2010 Great collection! Love the shark strap. Was it an easy fit with the rep conversion kit? It came on a black hornback sort of strap. So it was a straight swap.
