yellomen Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 I've been eyeballing this new AP ROO for some time now and i'm really curious for the long time quality check. How does it hold out when it's worn a lot... i the movement still running fine, the chrono without probs, pushers, tube/crown, screws of bracelet etc... I'd love to hear you stories guys! Not only the bad ones, but also the good one I must also say that i'm amazed with the low number of posts concerning upgrades for the AP ROO. So who is doing superlume, who has sent the crystal off to Chieftang, thightening the screws? Thanx for your stories in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 i got my rubber clad from Silix, for $450, i LOVE this watch BIG TIME i'd like to chieftang it, but i'm so worried about screwing up the rubber bezel when taking off the crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the osteopath Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 If I recall correctly, the gen does not have AR. As an interesting side note, it turns out that the gen does not have a solid rubber bezel either- it too is rubber coated, as per the AP catalog for 2008. -O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 ...yes...the rubberbezel is just coated (of course)...but there is a huge difference between 0.5mm and 0.01mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellomen Posted August 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 And all the movements still run strong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoman Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 mines good - silix, says he is not drop shipping them and inspects them before they go out - true? not sure - but with a decent failure rate on a new movement, its definatly good business practice rather than ad 40$ into the cost of the watch in sent a nd return shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
