reprep Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 After wearing my ROO Ruberclad 5 times....and being VERY careful not to hit, nick, rub on, or even wear a jacket with it, and after hearing some of the other member's stories.......the rubber coating on the bezel is starting to wear off in a rather obvious and ugly way. I mean I BABIED this thing and it still wore off. Word to the wise....my advise is to steer clear of the AP ROOs with this bezel until it get "updated" with a thicker or more durable coating. I am extremely disappointed, as the rest of the watch is top shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astig Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 ive got two and both started to peel.. i would have asked for a replacement but then it will also peel if it is of the same quality.. also replacing the bezel looks hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iceberg1459 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 how is the gen made? is it pure rubber or also coated over steel but better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reprep Posted December 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2008 I removed the peeling bezel (with the help of the post detaileding the AP ROO bezel removal proceedure) and used laquer thinner to remove the rest of the thin rubber coating. It came off very easily. The bezel is PVD coated underneath the cheap rubber coating, and actually looks pretty damn good. Put it back together and am very happy with the result. The cartel should just offer them this way to begin with and save everyone the hastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I ask from which dealer you bought your ROO from? I was just about to by a rubber clad from Joshua, I spoke with him and he said the peeling issue had been solved but I was really curious where you got yours, thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
