txcollector Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djscotie Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thogaa Posted June 30, 2010 Author Report Share 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.

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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanytical Posted June 30, 2010 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

thogaa Posted July 3, 2010 Author Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
