panerai153 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 If you folks remember a couple of months back, Legend offered a mod package for AP ROO's that brought them up several notches on the "Believability scale" The mods addressed two problems that separated the stock ROO with the A7750 movement from the genuine or the Franken ROO's with gen dials, the position of the DW relative to the Tachy and the size of the ring on the hour hand. Later he came up with a couple of other goodies, one being the Cyclops mod to make the Cyclops more "gen like" and a better DW. Another mod that Legend recommended was the replacement of the a7750 mainspring with a stronger ETA 7750 mainspring. considering that both of the watches I sent him needed a service, I opted to have the mainsprings changed as well. As everyone knows already, Legend is a Prince of a fellow, one of the nicest folks around, and a joy to work with. I got the watches back yesterday, and frankly, I was very pleased with the results. the hand mod is very noticeable, as the stock hour hands on the a7750 is quite a bit larger in diameter than the genuine hands. The two watches I sent were a White Dial Rubberclad and a Safari. both watches got all the mods, except the Safari tachy ring was not shaved. Here are some photos I took of the two after putting the straps back on. The White Dial Rubberclad had a previous trip to Vac who relumed the hands, it glows like a torch!! The Safari of course has no lume. The RC is on a Black Gator from SMP lover, the Safari is on a gen AP Safari hornback. Both of these are the newer straps that take the 20mm tang buckle, which I find much more comfortable than the 18mm deployant straps/clasp. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hi there May I know how you mod the Audemars Piguet watch to look alike 99% genuine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hi there May I know how you mod the Audemars Piguet watch to look alike 99% genuine? Hi Anna, 99% is subjective. You could have a stock rep on the wrist and not get called out by 99% of the population, or you could have a heavily modded rep and it gets spotted by a wrist geek. It's mostly about how you carry the watch off, and on a deeper level, the flaws you could and couldn't live with.
