minuterepeater Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 Can it be that hard to polish the case edges with a dremmel (while protecting the sandblasted part of the case)? The Zigmeister - pipe in on this one if you would.
cougaree Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 Guys, I know the AP ROO chronos do look great. I like to some day own a safari model or this one, nice and light. However, I am wondering if any of you thought of this. Since the gasket is exposed between the bezel and case, will it ever gets dried up and starts to crack? If so, what do we do then? It would be tough to find replacement parts. What would be the useful life for the $600 spend on this?
edgematic1 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Posted March 5, 2011 the price of a case only should be $100, so that would solve some problems though I think it would take some years before the rubber would start cracking...
cougaree Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 You can buy the case for $100? That would be ok then. We can get it from the cartel?
edgematic1 Posted March 5, 2011 Author Report Posted March 5, 2011 Don't know if they sell it, I got this price from Hont.
frankpower88 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) You see polished bezel edge, case edge should be polished as well. looking at King `s pictures, it seems case edges are polished too. Edited March 6, 2011 by frankpower88
edgematic1 Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Posted March 6, 2011 looking at King `s pictures, it seems case edges are polished too. I don't think so QC pics from a member on RWI:

ianGP Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 Yeah, not seein' it frank I was crossing fingers though!
ianGP Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 No worries mate! I definitely appreciate the scouting We each only see a little part of a bigger world and this forum pieces all of us together, methinks at least
eunomians Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 It's really hard to tell from the pics if the case edges are polished. My QC pre-ship pics appear to show that the case edges are indeed polished. This is merely speculation at this point because A.) the pics are low-res B.) titanium tones are very hard to discern via photos. Mine hopefully will arrive safe & sound in just a few short days. I've noted that the caseback serial numbers appear to be unique! Cool!
Watchmeister Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 I am guessing the edges are polishes but if they aren't a little masking tape and a dremel and you are good to go.
mjmj Posted March 7, 2011 Report Posted March 7, 2011 I've noted that the caseback serial numbers appear to be unique! Cool! +1. Mine says 32/50. Will arrive in a few days.
Ahky Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Got this today. Wanted to share the good news. It look absolutely stunning...AND the case edges are polished as with the the gen..so no additional work neccessary.
Yannou Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Got this today. Wanted to share the good news. It look absolutely stunning...AND the case edges are polished as with the the gen..so no additional work neccessary. Any pics ?
plaifender Posted March 18, 2011 Report Posted March 18, 2011 Everyone that told me I was crazy for saying the edges looked polished owes me a massive apology!!
armandlefou Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Can I see the gen at The Chronopassion boutique in Paris ?
Pakz Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 On a practical note, bead blasted titanium will be a scratch magnet, without any option to re-brush.... It does scratch... but not that easily neither... titanium is a fairly hard metal. Well, on my gen Porsche (beaded titanium is the "signature" for these), I use the blue/hard side of a two sided eraser, with caution, and the results aren't too bad...
OSRep Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 Im in on one of these beauties!! Just cant stop staring at the pics Now I have to wait.............!
Nebakanezzar Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 OMGEE! havent been bitten in a while, looks like my wallet is about to be $500 lighter! can someone let me know what the size of the strap is, i have a big ass wrist (9') and most watch straps don't fit...
MADRED7 Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 The standard strap will not fit....but here is the deal: order the watch with a different strap e.g. SINGAPORE GP and sell it when you get it....order a XL sized rubber strap with APBAnds straps....here you go! Theo
