LordRasta Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Been a crazy year for me...in a good way at least. I check in from time to time whe I can. There sure has been a lot of hype for this AP ROO. I got to admit..I am sort of buying into it cause I want a black themes I am hoping the quality there. Rocket! How the hell are you. Our BCE is getting ready for a ETA 7750 w/engraved rotor, a gen bezel and a gen bracelet. And of course some chieftang double AR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 This is definitely a rep I want to own.. especially if they take it a little further and do a Barrichello 2 or the Montoya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Looks like most of the mile high city boys are waiting for this one. Sub and Ubi..going to have to have a AP ROO meet soon. I'm down! Been a while since we got together for a meet... R... it's been a very pricey YEAR!!! So true... And we're only half way through. Such is the way of this addiction....

TK471 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 depends who the email was from, i got an email from the secretary to the president of nigeria, telling me about my unrecovered millions, you dont see me running to the WU office, to pay the 'administrative fees' This is a fantastic post. Gave me an out-loud laugh. That said, if true this is what a LOT of people have been waiting a long time for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fidestro Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 depends who the email was from, i got an email from the secretary to the president of nigeria, telling me about my unrecovered millions, you dont see me running to the WU office, to pay the 'administrative fees' I was being vague as I did not wish to advertise for a given site. Usually when a new watch like this is available we hear about it from several sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such is the way of this addiction.... R...haven't seen you in ages. Maybe we can set something up for fall and maybe subzero won't flake out :p @lordrasta...you enjoying the BCE I take it? Got to post up some pics when it's all finished so I can brag about how I used own that and what not I would really be surprised if the new AP ROO ends up being a true 1:1...got to keep my hopes up I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promotersf Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Didn't get the email from angus, sent sent him a message. Does anyone know if they are making different models?...Because I need a Black Themes, a Safari, and a Black Rubberclad...and a Rose Rubberclad...

jmt Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Been in the works for a very long time now.. the test of course will be the modification in the movement.. I'm told it's already been proven in the field.... we'll see I am betting paperweight. Still gotta move the secs 90 degrees... why is it easier up than down?

Logan Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Moving sub dials is easy.. many genuine watches do it, the IWC ingenieur chrono and anything with a 7753 movement are good examples. The problems is the cheap rep movements used to use unjewelled gears to do it and they wore out in a month or so. The newer seconds at 3 movements have jewelled pivots which will last forever with proper servicing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HauteHippie Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'd be willing to give a 1:1 sec@12 ROO a go and apply the graphite lube mod that has resurrected a few sec@6 reps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hi guys, I was told 1 year ago when purchasing my 5th ROO..."Please wait and spend your money on the coming sec@12 ROO!" I did not wait and now have a bunch of MBW ROO (12 there are), love all of them and would buy 2 more if the dealer can offer NEW dials....AP released tons of LE in the last months...just dial-variations they are. We need some more good dials e.g. the blue dialed themes (with dark blue rubber pusher and crown cover) or do the white dial with stick markers or a proper Rubberclad (with rubber bezel , not PVD!). This time I will not hold my breath, I will try to wait untill some of our members checked or reviewed these pieces. lets wait and see...

geo1nah2a Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I am betting paperweight. Still gotta move the secs 90 degrees... why is it easier up than down? This is not going to be as easy as the simple 7750-to-7753 rearrangement that we see in most chronometers. But at least in the AP ROO, the Chrono Hours will not move. For comparison, in the Daytona_sec@6's all hands have to move around and change places between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 that's good news definitely... seems as well that some APO ROO's aro comming out in the FS section as mushrooms after the rain... I do not beleive that the price will be as somebody said in the 400-500$ range...dealers know we are hungry of these models...and we are showing it right now...they've charged us before insane prices on hot models and new released movements...why do you think thay won't do it now?

dalayclass Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Puretime says that the bezel is screwed with the case back like the gen! Pretty good news also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket754 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I'd be willing to give a 1:1 sec@12 ROO a go and apply the graphite lube mod that has resurrected a few sec@6 reps.... Will you be offering this service to everyone? Also do gen AP ROO's have AR and will the rep have it? If so I might as well send it straight to you for both mods right a away.....

dalayclass Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 No AR as far as I know... I had a gen during six month and I never saw any blue reflect but I may be wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir-Lancelot Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I took a chance on 2 Daytonas with sec @ 6 and I am going to take a chance on this one too. I hope this one has a better life span than the tonas. The ROO Safari theme is a must have for my collection and I will have one. That is a lot of money, and I will have it serviced before I ever wear it and then hope for the best. I love this watch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Call me anal, but I already foresee the first flaw in the @12 ROO being that seconds subdial will be spaced too high. Or is this issue also fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalayclass Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sub dial at 12 will be lowered...so it's fixed don't worry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket754 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 It says that they addressed that issue on Angus's site. Man..I would like to check out a pic of the production model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
