Legend Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 My fellow AP aficionados, After some experimentation and trials, my partner and I are able to offer a mod package for your rep ROOs (especially the 42mm) to bring it to the next level. As most of you would know, two of the major tells on most of the regular 42mm like volcano, black theme, rubberclad etc would include the larger hour hand pinion width (too fat) and the datewheel position (too far to the right). The mod package would address these two flaws and bring your ROO to the next level! We would soon be able to offer a mod package for interested ROO owners. The mods would be done in Singapore. I will be getting moderator clearance before offering this mod package officially. Please see pics of some sample works. The hands pinion is visibly smaller and much more accurate to gen and the datewheel is now in a more accurate position too, not touching the tachy ring like the stock ROOs. Stay tuned for the official commencement of job acceptance! Sent from Mars using tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Let me know my friend, I have a couple that will be coming your way. One will be a return trip. Will this require a gen dial? Not sure how you can move the DW over with the rep dial. At any rate, I'm all for this mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very subtly, if you have a couple that is coming my way and one is a return trip, what will happen to the other? I will have a discussion with my partner on when we can start offering this to guys. I will definitely start off with trusted friends and you are definitely high up on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rondtablepro Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I don't know if he can say how he moves the date over. If he does he would be giving away the secret recipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinitonsi Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 legend said in the post he doesn't touch the tachy but for me it looks like they did slim it He meant the window-date won't be closer to the tachy (when he said 'touching') like all ROO reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Guys there's no big secret, or magic here. The datewheel is shifted visually to the left due to mods to the tachy ring. I'm simply packaging these two mods together for 42mm ROO owners. Update: I've just obtained approval from Nanuq the head honcho of operations. This project is a go ahead.

slaughterer Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 If Legend is doing what I think he is doing in this modification package, then it is well worth the $200. The operations involved here are not something you really want to do yourself. Plus legend is a gentleman and all-round nice guy to work with.

panerai153 Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 This is the closest that you can visually make an AP ROO 42mm to gen without spending a few thousand on the "whole hog" package, gen dial, tachy, case re drilled for an LWO movement, movement as well as the costs of putting it all together.
