promotersf Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Does anyone have know how the LUME is supposed to look on the ROO Black themes? thinking about sending mine up to for relume and black date window paint job rob once jen gives me the green light, would like to give The Zigmeister a reference. rob may also be able to give us some insight into how the movement is, i'm sure everyone is curious how reliable the new secs @ 12 is.

Seadweller4000 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Wonderful pictures lani! Thanks for sharing them. I am most curious about the movement inside. The gen uses a JLC mvmnt with Dubois Depraz module. How is the replica running? Wear it in good health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anton Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Buttons on clasp are just for looks, they don't depress...to get the bracelet deployment to release, you have to PULL the buttons on the clasp to release. That's my only disappointment since it's a nice bracelet otherwise...I'm off to buy a nice strap for this baby now! Thanks for the lume shot, the only lume I saw earlier was ONLY on the hands..I guess rob will be reluming many of these momentarily. These are the same as on the gen (bracelet 'buttons'). Bracelet just "snaps" into place. Though they should have taken an idea from the book of Omega Seamaster and made pushbuttons out of those instead...

MAHLER Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Lanikai leave the rep in the name of law !!! Go away! More distant ! Yet another step ! Again! Take the AP and escape Mahler !! Escape !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK471 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Thanks for sharing the pictures. They're amazing on their own. I think this is an advancement (or at the very least a sideways step) from the MBW that I had for a while in terms of case detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Padge Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Fantastic pictures, right out of the top draw For some reason with the black dial version, it is not as noticable that the date window is a bit too far to the right. Paint the silver DW area and it will become even less noticable still! The black dial hides all I think I would struggle to wear this watch with my 6.5" wrists, which is a shame. How does it wear compared to the large Chopard chronograph? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Just take both and sell me the ROO if it's too big I wish I could afford both The AP I think is too thick, it sits very high on the wrist. So I really can't see it fitting me well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the beast on the winder.. yesterday was a bit premature to comment on the movement as you know how these A7750's can be .. very tempermental at times.. I will say the rotor is extremely quiet !!that could be because the case is as thick as a bank valut So today when I get home I will check the time to my blackberry (used that to set the time ).. and I will take off the case back and take some pics just to validate.. kruzer00 Posted Today, 02:16 AM Lani- Fabulous pictorial (as always). Wear that one well. I am getting ready to give in and order one. thanks W... I truly need a strap for this one as it will not look as huge ... the bracelet is georgeous though.. would look better with long sleeves Mickey Padge Posted Today, 12:46 AM Fantastic pictures, right out of the top draw For some reason with the black dial version, it is not as noticable that the date window is a bit too far to the right.

Thanks M... you know with the gator or leather strap...you'd be able to pu;; it off.. the Chopard IMO looks bigger on the wrist because of the crystal size.. the APROO looks huge because of the bracelet.. not so much the case set.. put the two together and this AP is humungous.. @TK,, Scoobs ..Mahler.. and Anton.. Thank you all !!... and Mahler.. got a reciept man !!! but i can't show it cause this is a rep.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godzilla Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Thanks for the pics lanikai. Anybody know how big is this AP ROO compared to 44mm PAM? I think that's the biggest my 6.5" wrist can wear, beyond that it will start to look like I am waering a wallclock or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fido Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 The flaws in the dial are: the date background (should be black) but is a really easy fix, the date window position( too right), and the numbers should have a "metallic" ring surround them. that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Padge Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I think the watch thickness is correct, no? Or have the made it slightly thicker? Maybe Lani could replicate this geniune picture more exactly, for a compare shot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoast68 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I don't know what is happening inside my head, maybe its all the ROO madness lately, they are everywhere. Anyway, APROO's never did anything for me at all, I really did not care for them at all, until lately. Over the past couple months I've taken more notice of them and they are growing on me. Anyone know if/when the EOD PVD black versions of this seconds at 12 model will be available? One seriously elegant looking chunk-o-steel there, thanks for the pics!!!!
