AMK000 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Pretty nice. ...and most important: It has the secs at 3'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
condemore Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Pretty nice. ...and most important: It has the secs at 3'. Sorry AMK000, the seconds at 9, as it should be in a plain A7750. And by the way, to me, that is unimportant. Cheers, bro! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchpot Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 The gen is part of the RO series, not the Offshore series. The running seconds should be 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankpower88 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 thats the best looking AP in my opinion too. i know there are 2 versions, one with black date wheel and one with white date wheel. you seem to have the black one. is your crown screwed or push-pull ? this watch is probably my next rep... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think King carries the other model with white date wheel. Original is also white but the date is positioned very differently. The crown is screwed and the feeling is a little loosy.

Corgi Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 It looks good on you! I wonder what it would look like on a dark black leather strap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ztech Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 That does have the cleanest dial of all the ROO's I've seen to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 I love that watch....I have it since beginning this year....with all its known flaws it is still a stunning and elegant piece. Enjoy it! Theo P.S.: I am thinking of getting the new updated versio n with the Alinghi symbol on the 9 o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rubber band is the one that comes with it. The quality of it is not exceptional, but not crappy at all. Just correct. The dustocity factor is quite good. If you see some dust on some of the pics is because I just grabed the watch and start shooting without any prior cleaning. From time to time I wash the watch and the strap with water and soap and get pristine. Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosk Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 My Paris model which came from King (white datewheel) had a decent rubber strap....far from exceptional....but decent. This rubber does not compare to the Sec @ 12 rubber clad which has one of the best rubbers in the rep world, IMO. The dial layout of the PARIS model is one of my favorites and the rep strap does not do the watch justice. Simple mods include an oracle carbon strap and Chief's newest AR process which brings the watch to another level of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I correct in saying this particular AP RO chrono, as well as all RO chronos are 40mm, while the ROO is 46mm. Did you have to modify your Oracle strap to fit this watch? From the Oracle website, they only seem to offer 46mm straps. (or do the 46mm straps fit this watch as well??) Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
