Scouser2020 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Just purchased my 1st roo off fellow member and i cant wait to receive it. Its this beauty here: Ive admired the AP brand for a while but never took pulled the trigger on one, from the collections some of you guys have i can see it can become quite an addictive brand especially the ROO. Im a bit concerned about the probs with the sec@12 movement but the seller assures me this one runs nice and smooth. I want the watch to last a long time though so will be looking at having it serviced. Im in the UK any pointers who is best to contact to carry out this service?

Edwin25 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Show some pics man You can sent it to Domi or Fransisco. While its there.. Consider, reluming, AR and cyclops AR... E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Congrats. Can't wait to see the pics. Francisco or Domi can service it for you. Francisco doesn't do Relume except for simple dot markers. A few spanish modders here do an excellent job on Lume. Francisco can probably point you in the right direction as far as Lume jobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2020 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 cheers guys, i will upload some pics as soon as i have it - i cant wait now. how is the lume on grey themes? i didnt think the gen would have any? is the general opinion that relume is a good mod to have while getting serviced?

MADRED7 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Congrats to that purchase....very nice piece you will get. I don´t think that a relume for the GREY Themes is really necessary as the gen has only weak lume (dark grey lume does not glow like white!)....and for the service....use the watch as is and have it serviced when the watch makes any problems, your model will probably have the added jewel for the seconds gear and the watch might last years before any service will be needed.

Cheers Theo I've got to disagree with Madred. Although it might not be necessary to get the watch serviced right now, you shouldn't wait till something goes wrong. A proper service will guarantee that this watch ticks for years to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2020 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 your advice is all welcome guys, i think i will be waiting til a month or 2 before sending for service anyways as ive not got the funds this month after buying the watch from the seller i believe the watch was purchased originally from josh in december - do you think it will have the extra jewel only being a month or so old? ive heard this helps the movement a lot.

HR911 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) Hi Scouser, The watch was originally bought by me, and suprised to see it has been flipped so quickly! It is a lovely watch and I remember looking at the seconds hand and thinking it was actually quite smooth. I personally wouldn't service it for atleast 6 months. This model ROO is one of the latest ones and has the updated grey dial with correct inner bezel and darker numbers so it does have the extra jewel. (I asked Josh this to make sure) Wear it in good health! Edited February 17, 2011 by HR911 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2020 Posted February 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Cheers for the info HR, im please to hear its the most upto date version with extra jewel. 3rd time lucky for the owners hey - i dont think ill be selling this one!! its great to know you can turn to you guys with questions and you are all more than happy to help!!

fitipaldi Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 Congrats!! welcome to the addictive AP club!! I'm agree with Edwin. You must send the watch to one of our modders. Here is mine after Francisco's service, Uwe's double AR and HKtan hornback strap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 DISAGREE....I have 16 ROO´s now and I had over 24 of them last year....only 1 of them failed twice (RB2) and that was also after a proper service and graphite treatment and gear-correction, so you´ll never know. I take the road of "wear-untill-it-dies" and so far I almost never happened to see one of my babies dieing (OK OK, with so many ROO´s at hand I exchange my watches every day and don´t wear a single pice for longer than 2 weeks in a row ). Anyway, why should I get new soles on my new shoes before it´s really necessary? Only my 0.02$...cheers mates, Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 addition.....yes, your watch is the upgraded model.....after several eMail exchanges with "the dealer who knows the factory", they upgraded the dial with darker numbers and attached the missing jewel.

breitlingno1 Posted February 17, 2011 Report Share Posted February 17, 2011 It should have been mine! I posted on the thread and was just too busy today and you got in before me. Mind and post some pics when you get it. Enjoy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmj Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I hope to receive my first ever AP (a Black themes) on Monday. It has cleared customs as shown on the EMS website. Now looking at the Grey Themes, I am thinking I should have purchased that one. Oh well, it can be my next buy. Enjoy the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
