Legend Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Because non hacking movements are stupid. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2 A hacking movement helps us to set time accurately, yes. I wouldnt exactly use the word "stupid" for non-hack movements lol. Saw your post and was surprised into laughing. Why is it so important to modify it to hack? I'm sure not many people will be unscrewing the crown and changing the time and those that do will most likely be close enough friends to know it's a rep. Its not for friends to see.. its for us to be able to stop the watch completely and set the time accurately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig88 Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Ok I understand it allows us to be more accurate when setting the time but I have no idea why someone would want to go to lengths to obtain this small advantage. The extra expense, hassle and time is hard to justify to be able to obtain a few more seconds of accuracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchgal Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Great review! What size straps does the Diver take? Same as the Offshore? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scipio Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 Awesome review! Considering to buy one but what holds me back is that I'm not sure if it's waterproof and the reliability of the movement? Can you swim (no diving) with the watch? If not, is it possible to make is waterproof to make it suitable for swimming? And is it possible to do sports with this AP rep, like sailing, tennis and swimming? Damn rep gives me so much possibility's in buying a watch which weren't possible with a gen... Can't choose... Patek Nautilus Jumbo (but don't like the open caseback), PAM005 or this AP. What scares me too is that it looks really big and I'm not sure how it will look like on my small wrist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDorian Posted September 9, 2012 Report Share Posted September 9, 2012 The dial logo positioning looks very off to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgematic1 Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 If you're able to log on to replica-watch.info you should take a look at this, it's a mod of the V2 but it's great: http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/jerezblack-heres-your-89487.html he has a facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/Goin.Workshop V3 mods: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.343822522372942.85991.122906881131175&type=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folex Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Wait how come his fb page says he's located at Taiwan not Singapore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folex Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Then I must have made a mistake Its all good , thanks lots for your help. And your review, is really helpful. Just one question left. @12secs Roos have a problem where the hands meet, as there is a distance between that and the dial, its an obvious give away that its a rep. What about the Diver V3? Does it suffer the same problem? (Stated in this thread for reference: http://www.rwg.cc/topic/139550-safari-arrived-today-my-authentic-vs-replica-pictures/) Sorry if this is illegal. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted September 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 nope, you won't notice any difference. biggest difference with the gen are the inner bezel ring and cyclopse imo. currently I am working on a project to get a cyclopse with colourless AR in that way we are able to get closer to the gen.

Legend Posted November 27, 2014 Report Share Posted November 27, 2014 Thankyou so much for ur review.. it helps. Especialy for newbie like myself. ☺ can anyone tell me where can i get this beautiful ap? Im from indonesia This thread (and rep model) is more than 2 years old.. if you are interested in the ROO Diver, the V6/V7 is the one you want. Some improvements made of course, but we are talking about improvement from a 90% accuracy in the V3 to maybe a 95% in the V6/V7. Just my opinion of course. On the wrist in the wild, the perceived accuracy versus gen is probably higher, even if the guy was wearing a V3. Remember that most of the differences highlighted are spotted upon scrutiny, not casual inspection. Unless of course you are like my friend and fellow member Folex who dedicated 78% of his free time studying and dissecting ROO diver reps.

While i am studying ROO diver reps, someone else that i know off simply buys the gen and the rep to just compare it side to side. Then he goes off and mods it to see what the limits are, but always ends up selling it for a bargain for the members here. A remarkably generous fellow that guy. Don't you think Mr.A? On a related topic, I think the new divers has made vast improvements in their Lume, and you're probably right. a 90%-->95%, a huge improvement in my books, but still definitely not gen-like.
