dalayclass Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 My AP ROO is home...alone because I am at work, I think I'll go home earlier today. I will shoot my watch as soon as I am home, is there a platinium member to who I can send the pics for he can present them properly because if I send them by myself that will be little pics and I know that's boring to click on them to enlarge...

dalayclass Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 This watch is amasing. I love it, I have it on my wrist and I haven't been that exited having a rep!!! It's perfect, don't care about the flaws. If you hesitate, just buy it, you won't regret it!!! Moreover, there is lume, it's not flashing lights but it's more than ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Nice. Congrats on your purchase. How are the subdials in real life? In the pics it seems they are too shiny. Wear it well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalayclass Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 For the moment, I am so happy it's as if I was drunk but I have never anderstood that shiny thing, I don't think it is, it's very light grey, it looks great, in no way it looks cheap. They did a very great job!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 This is by far one of the best version togehter whit the white/grey ss version. Enjoy it. Dani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I thought I was set on the white rubberclad, but after seeing these pictures, I am unsure again Wear it well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 One question does it have lume on all parts of the dial not only the hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onzenuub Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 It is looking great, thinking about ordering one, congrats and enjoy the watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sander Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Looks very nice. Hope you enjoy wearing it. One question, it seems like you also have a small wrist. Can you let me know how that deployant sits on your wrist because mine really hurts. I also noticed that the long strap is at 12 and the small strap is at 6. (standard is the other way around) did you do this to make it more comfortable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecsm Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Would it be possible to get a lume shot pls? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slai Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I also noticed that the long strap is at 12 and the small strap is at 6. (standard is the other way around) did you do this to make it more comfortable? That trick works for the HBB, may be worth a shot on the ROO too.

dalayclass Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 The lume is on hands and on numbers. It is surely the same used on the white dial version. I have a small wrist, the folding buckle is at the before the last hole and the buckle doesn't hurt my wrist. I an not saying that black dial version is better than white dial, I will just say that I chose it because there is according to me a better color harmony between the black of the band, the black of the bezel and the black of the dial and, the grey of the sub-dials with the grey of the case. I think that the white dial doesn't find this harmony, break the design and gives the impression the watch is bigger (whereas it doesn't need to...) Sorry, my camera is not good enough to take a good lume shoot, but trust me it is good!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dario33 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Great choice -- I need to pull the trigger on one of these myself soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalayclass Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Interesting point, this morning I went to visit my watch repairer and I asked him to test the watch with the pressure machine and the result was good. The machine can only test the watch with a pressure of 3ATM ie 30 meters. That means we can dive with it (I never go deeper than 10m because my ears hurts...)

There's been criticism of Angus' mod for the black date window frame -- that he just uses a black marker, or sharpie. How does the date window look in person?

dalayclass Posted July 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 I think that's ok, of course if you look very very close with the sun shinning on it, you see that it was made with a marker but the rest of time, everytime, you can't see the difference. This afternoon I have been to the sea and dived at 10 meters with the watch and it's ok!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 On my recent trip I thought what the hell and used my HBB when going out to the beach and swimming. No problem at all. And nobody ever said they are waterproof. The crown is not even screw down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
