lanikai Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Posted June 30, 2008 Should I sell my new MBW AP roo [9 o'clock sub sec.] to get this one form Angus [ 12 o'clock sub sec.] ? My is one of the few from George,so I know it is MBW . You need to make that decision for yourself given the information on the boards here..it comes down to what "you" value.. MBK is very good reps.. the new AP .. well read the thread on the movement (macro pics) .. then decide..
bertieng Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 I am pretty sure soon or later the MBW sec@12 will come out. Since the most difficult part - modded A7750 sec@12 is now available, the rest is simple, only if MBW will decide to pull the plug to go for the sandwich case construction like the Chinese version. I am waiting with great eager for this day to come.
bertieng Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 No the Subdial at 6 is correct. look on this picture from TZ it
ExtraExtra Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) Did anyone order from King and confirm the color of the date window? Also, does the gen have AR? Edited July 2, 2008 by ExtraExtra
Flashman Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 Well even if the silver date surround on the black face has a gen version I still think it looks pants compared to having a black surround, once they sort that I am ready with my order.
SAS Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Just received mine, All the bezel's screws are in the wrong position. even when i'm unscrewing the back, the bezel ones doesn't move. Since One month, I have problems on every delivery, I'm tired of this now.

Mickey Padge Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Once you have unscrewed the case back, you should be able to carefully push those out with a toothpick maybe, and then reposition them correctly, no?
SAS Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Once you have unscrewed the case back, you should be able to carefully push those out with a toothpick maybe, and then reposition them correctly, no? Well, I tried of course, but there is not a single screw moving up! I'm desperated.
SAS Posted July 4, 2008 Report Posted July 4, 2008 Ive never seen that one before... What do you mean "I've never seen that one"? it's the one with white dial & grey subs, very common.
lanikai Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Posted July 5, 2008 What do you mean "I've never seen that one"? it's the one with white dial & grey subs, very common. I believe CB is talking about the issue and not the dial colour... so your saying the bezel screw will not release the bezel.. they are not made to turn btw.. are they frozen so that the bezel cannot come off ??
Toadtorrent Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 Great as always. Hey...congrats on the 2000 views in such a short time! Woohoo. You are Legend!
Guest carlsbadrolex Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 I was most definitely referring to the un-aligned bezel screws. Once the screws are out on the back (to remove the caseback), you can push the screws all the way through. Unless of course yours is different than mine. I swear someone was playing a practical joke on you. I could see 1 screw being set incorrectly, but ALL BUT ONE?
lanikai Posted July 5, 2008 Author Report Posted July 5, 2008 Great as always. Hey...congrats on the 2000 views in such a short time! Woohoo. You are Legend! NO !.. RWG is the legend.... but thank you for the kind words T. ... if that is the case you and taka and SD and BT .. are ready for Sainthood.. i am definately not a "legend in my own mind"..that's for sure !!!
lanikai Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Posted July 6, 2008 I put on the APROO for the first time since last week... and I gotta say.. I am growing to like it.. after "accepting the size" and not comparing it to my wrist.. I think this is one that will definately look better to me on my wrist than previously thought.... After getting over the shock of the huge bracelet ... .... ......
JamesThailand Posted October 6, 2012 Report Posted October 6, 2012 great watch you have here's my AP ROO with date window repainted
Legend Posted October 6, 2012 Report Posted October 6, 2012 oh yeah, how is the lume on these? dont think i read anything about the lume. i hear the lume Ap uses is pretty good. hear is a pic of the GEN lume Rep AP ROO lume is atrocious.
Watchmeister Posted October 7, 2012 Report Posted October 7, 2012 Great post from days of yore. One of the infamous "three tenors". oops I mean "two Randy" days. I do miss Lani.
