NRG Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 The Zigmeister does it again! You should get a commission from the RWG VIP revenue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Ziggy, It is this sort of review/post, that makes me proud of this place, and happy that I am a member of RWG. Imagine the quality info that those who aren't members here miss. Not even the gen forums have this quality of input. Congrats my friend, you've done us proud again.

dadog13 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 great review as always...nice to know that the asians are improving with their own movements...usually they learn fast in copying all kind of stuff...in the next few years we will probably see more and more complicated movements from them...if they did the tourbillons why they wouldn't do propoerly other movements... too bad on the other hand that now I'll have to rob a bank to buy all the nice reps that will come out... and as somebody pointed out...reps are going to become more and more expensive with all this improvements on the movements that have been done...

b16a2 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Great review The Zigmeister! It is good to know that finally they have made a transfer that should work long term! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvio Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thanks for sharing, The Zigmeister. Very educating post as usual. To add to your request for running seconds at 6, maybe they can also make one with running seconds at 12? Please excuse my lack of technical knowledge on this. But is it way too complicated to build? It's high time someone get a correct movement for the AP ROO, be it the EOD, MBK or the 'usual' rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobs1971 Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Thnx The Zigmeister, good to have you back here. This is what makes this place so special!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Just realised that this opens up the path for a whole lot of other super reps!!! can anyone say "secs at 12"??? AP??? Is the ETA 7750 or modified versions too thick for this watch? Also the plane of the pushers is different to the plane of the crown on the genuine. Subdial placement is also non-standard, so it can't be used in other watches, so we'll see if the makers think the ROO will sell enough to make all that money.

Chronus Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 And, as ever, a great review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arminvanbuuren Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Yes, we can only hope they use this design on the other models out there... Well that would not be accurate, there are 9 extra jewels on this one, 25+9 = 34 jewels in total...lets not tell them, or they will up the price... Not in this case, look at the design and how it was done, the last plate you see, is no thicker than a standard 7750 with a calendar, and probably thinner than the A7750 (3) with the 30-minute counter at 3. I did not measure the thickness, but I think it's the same as a standard 7750 layout model. RG thats it im getting this watch ... heheh thanks The Zigmeisteryyyy!!!

andreww Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Zig, its great to get good news about movements once in a while. The "seconds at 3" 7750 opens the door for a lot of new reps to come! Thanks mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
