richard lawton Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hi All Just received the lastest AP ROO seconds at 12.00 and fitted it with a carbon fiber strap from AP Strap with a folding clasp Very pleased with the result. Quality of both is exellent and after adjustment the movement is now running +1-3 sec per day. Thanks for looking Regards Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Dammit......another one to add to the wanted-list. I might just need to disable the pictures when I browse RWG from now on. Very nice watch and combo, Richard. Hey Ztech, maybe we could get a discount if we see the shrink together? That way we could save some money and buy a watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Richard, I thought you had too much ROO's lying around?! nice one...I am still holding myself from buying this one...mainly because of the movement, but as well because I am short with the cash...

watchturbo Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 (edited) btw.. where do you get straps for the AP ROO ? - tazz lots of ap fans on this board including myself highly recommend getting AP ROO straps from StrapLuxe (www.strapluxe.com) try them out. best quality for the price in my opinion Edited August 29, 2008 by watchturbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 So is this the correct dial color? I cant tell if it is off-white. Also, should the numerals be solid black with no lume? Ive heard some members say this dial combo isnt accurate? Looks great IMO. cy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest carlsbadrolex Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Just a note about the AP Bands carbon fiber... BE VERY CAREFUL with it... The carbon fiber layer is EXTREMELY thin and fragile. I have a strap sitting in my parts bin that was worn about 7-10 times and started to rip around the holes and wear the strap would bend. Now about 1/2 of the carbon fiber has peeled off. Just an FYI, It is not a durable "wear anywhere" kind of strap! T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard lawton Posted August 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hi carl Many thanks for the warning much appreciated Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CY0811 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 Thanks for the additional info Richard. I really do love this combo of dial color and strap. By the way do the sudials contrast the dial from what you can see in person? Thanks cy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
