boston21 Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I have been planning on geting the ROO (new model w/ sec at 12 and offset dials). Initially, I wanted to get the white face safari b/c the numbers did not require lume. Howevr, I really like the black face listed here http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=435 Does anyone know if he numbers on this one have lume (on the gen or rep) Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 The gen definitely has good lume. The rep White Thames has decent lume, this watch the Black Thames I have heard has very poor rep lume. I can't think of any rep of any brand with gen like lume though, so either plan to send your watch to The Zigmeister or another modder to relume or reset your priorities in terms of lume. Lume from rep watches is never very good. Cheers, M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmachen Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 I have the black themes and unfortunately there is NO lume on the numerals, but the problem with the safari dial is that the color of the dial itself is wrong. It should be off white...almost beige, with white/silver subdials. The rep dial is a purer white for sure and the subdials are the same color as the surrounding dial. If you want accuracy, then the black themes dial with a relume is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchturbo Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 the only gen. AP ROO model that does not have lume is the Safari model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 Reluming this dial would be something only Ziggy would be capable of accomplishing.. but if you look at how high the numerals are raised.. the re-lume may be questionable.. but I am not the 'expert' be sure the date window on the black dial is all black ... like the genuine Only the hands are lumed on the rep..(black dial) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertieng Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 The APROO sec@12 is so well engineer, been tempted to get it for a long time. But still wondering if the bracelet can be trimmed down to fit a 6" wrist. Enough removable links to accomodate this size? Anyone got any idea?

Raymond has a wrist about that size .. and his fits no problem.. or you could alway's get a Gator strap .. which brings down the 'look" of the ROO being oversized.. jus a thought..
