Panda Franken ROO

[CptTripps]

So I own 3 Franken ROOs, and this is the only one I can put on my wrist.

Mr. FedEx man dropped it off a few hours ago. LOVE the watch...HATE the bracelet. I bought a rubber strap for it, but I don't have any lugs to attach it with. Doh!

Very nice, ap bands has those links you need!

Any TD can get you those too.

get the plots from the TDs. AP Bands are using the same meassurements AP does (as far as i know) so it won't fit the rep case properly...

btw: nice pick up... if you can source the gen hands it would be great... the rep hands are always bothering me... the hour hand is a big tell...

wear it well :-)

Finding gen hands for a Panda may be as easy as getting a real Panda from the pet store! I'll keep a look out though.

Wanna sell bracelet? Will it fit a genuine Panda ?

Mine is on the sing f1 strap. It's prob my overall fav piece, and i have some serious ap's in the collection!

Great looking franken ROO.  

 

So let me get this straight, I can actually get a real panda at the pet store easier than the gen panda hands?  

 

Haven't the chinese already repped their pandas?

I'd sell it in a sec. PM me, but I'm not sure it'll fit.

I'm looking for a strap exactly like yours! Gotta find lugs though...that's what I'm missing to make my rubber work.

Pm incoming

I actually sourced some plots for you

Not often you see a franken Panda.... great work.

What do you mean though - the only one you can put on your wrist OP?

Domi has one, and the other is in pieces in my basement on the watch-table. I've got all the PIECES...but need to move the crown position before I can re-assemble the thing.

BUT....I just received word that Domi shipped my White Themes, so that's pretty great! ::: excited! :::

Funny...I just ordered lugs and another strap. For what it cost, I could have absolutely bought another rep ROO from TT, and pitched the watch!

[Guest Daytona1984]

as i already said, the rep plots won't fit the gen case and vice versa. so trying to install gen or apbands plots to the rep case will be disappointing. also installing the rep bracelet on the gen case...

[Watchmeister]

My advice is to look for one of the cheapie quartz watches that dealers have sold from time to time or buy someone's used broken one and keep for parts. I have owned a Franken or two as well and it was the smartest thing I did. The lug pins can strip, screws can be scratched or dented, and whoever got a rep with all screw slots perfectly centered.

[cc33]

I had a rep roo and apbands fit like a glove.. Possible that they fit some and not others?

[CptTripps]

I think the issue I'm going to have is the lugs may not fit. They haven't shipped yet, so I may cancel the order all together.

The ONLY thing that bugs me about the watch: No lume! I didn't realize how often I look at my watch in low light.
