CptTripps Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Daytona1984 Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 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 :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptTripps Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 (edited) Wanna sell bracelet? Will it fit a genuine Panda ? BTW congrats! Mine is on the sing f1 strap. It's prob my overall fav piece, and i have some serious ap's in the collection! Edited August 17, 2013 by MJC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tech Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 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?

Gotta find lugs though...that's what I'm missing to make my rubber work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpohl402 Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Not often you see a franken Panda.... great work. What do you mean though - the only one you can put on your wrist OP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptTripps Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 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! ::: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptTripps Posted August 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Very nice, ap bands has those links you need!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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Daytona1984 Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 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 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 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 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I had a rep roo and apbands fit like a glove.. Possible that they fit some and not others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptTripps Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 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.
