mm..mm Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hi all, So I have been interested in beginning a small project. I am dying to get a ROO pride of Argentina rose gold. And since it's not produced as a rep I was wondering if anyone had an idea how it could be done. The main mods that would need to be done I believe is changing the color of the (Marcus dial) do a deep blue and have the pushers made in brown rubber. The caseback would also need to be modded but I believe this to be less of an issue. Anyone have an idea on how to begin producing this piece? Or how to mod the color of a dial at home?

edgematic1 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Some more info 2 versions:titanium case with steel bezel (100 pieces)18k rose gold case (50 pieces) You're interested in the RG case: Details: * outer borders on the subdials are white gold * WHITE gold numerals, the titanium case has rose gold numerals (AP's anouncement stated these were white gold on the RG case and WG on the ti case, this is wrong... ) * all hands are white gold and filled with creamy blue color (creamy color on the Ti version) * the "AP Audemars Piguet" logo is Pink Gold and the "Audemars Piguet" text is WHITE * the numerals are plates, it is not painted like the other ROO's, it is like the Arnold Legacy model * Pushers are dark brown * Caseback engraved with the Cabildo and the inscription “Pride of Argentina - 1810-2010– Limited * limitation of 50 pieces * The Date cutout part is not painted, same like the Montauk for example Good luck, I don't think you'll be able to do this at home honestly... Lovely model and I understand you're dying to get it Maybe the Don Ramon is a good option for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mm..mm Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Hey edge, I know it would be a difficult mod for the dial especially. I wish I could get the son Ramon but the dial is inaccurate unfortunately. Unless the came out with a new version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 I don't know about a newer version, The Don Ramon has it flaws indeed, though only 100 pieces were made, who's going to call you out?! PM sent to you btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddalondon Posted March 1, 2012 Report Share Posted March 1, 2012 This is nice. If it ever got repped - I'd be in for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yannou Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 I heard somewhere that this could happened in the future.... With the Ti Case and SS bezel maybe but not in gold... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddalondon Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) With the Ti Case and SS bezel maybe but not in gold... I'd still be on it!! Edited March 5, 2012 by Buddalondon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yes it will be repped. Toro has been provided of all info and he will pas it on to the factory. But it will take time, they are currently working on other projects as well according to Toro. It will be the Ti case and SS bezel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbjoer Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 If Torro is involved in this I do hope he will show prototypes here before actual production. Angus did so with some Pams on RWI and the end result was fantastic. In particular I hope that they will pay attention to the back and to getting all the stamps correct (750 if it is titanium and spelling errors are high on the suspect list... ).

Too funny. Any other guesses as to what goes wrong with the first version? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torobravo Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 It will be only the titanium version repped, I don´t like the rosegold reps, it can be a headache for warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
