Snowball Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Hi Guys, my next project should be the AP ROO Sek. @ 12 "Ultimate" with the black rubber bezel. After my research in this awsome forum I will give up to this watch. The bezel seems to damageable with his thin rubber coating. But I
goodfella0406 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 As I have posted on other topics, my rubber clad is on it's way. I will have a full report soon. That said... If you can source a GEN rubber bezzle at a decent cost AND and that's a big AND if it fits then I am in... I worry it wont fit because of the diameter difference GEN 44mm REP 42mm thoughts? can you buy a rubber bezzle from AP?
mwee Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 I thought the AP ROO @12 are all 1:1? also, aren't gens also 42mm?
arrowax Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 I also believe they are the same size.

He told me, that he can get every replacement part from every manufacture. If anybody need something, please ask.
rosnik Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Yes, I can. I knew a watchsmith. He told me, that he can get every replacement part from every manufacture. If anybody need something, please ask. Interesting, get us update on the GEN APROO bezel price, please.
MADRED7 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 I bought a genuine rubber-bezel from the bay....it does not fit! (re-sold it after testing) The original rubber strap fits fine....but let me tell you that the quality of the rep is equal to the real deal...I have both and you can hardly tell any difference....the gen feels a bit more stiffy.

Theo Thanks for the update on the bezel mate. Although I do recall someone had mentioned that be had fit the ten bezel on the rep.

chubbchubb Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Damn, that dream lasted about five seconds....
goodfella0406 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Posted February 13, 2009 Agreed, it was a dream that lasted about 5 seconds but I felt that it would not as per the diameter.. here is info from Luxury bizarre.. Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Selfwinding Chronograph. Leather Strap strap. Water resistant up to 100 m. Screwdown crown and Sapphire crystal. Diameter is 44mm. Date, hours, seconds, minutes, and chronograph functions. Caliber 2226/2840 and now the same from PC Chronograph : 9.00 subdial - minute counter, 6.00 subdials, hour counter 2.00 pusher - start/stop chrono, 4.00 pusher - reset, Blue Rubber Pushers Day and Date at 3.00 set via crown ( Mag Crystal Mounted on Dial) Dimensions : Dia 42mm x 15.5mm Thk can't imagine how it could fit with that difference in size..... curious though, how much is a GEN rubber bezzle?
MADRED7 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 The difference from rep to gen rubberbezel were 2 things: 1) the screw-holes are placed different...allthough only some fractions of millimeters...it was not possible to attache the screws 2) the gen rubber bezel is a different construction and the screws are different in size (not diameter but hight and thickness) The gen rubber bezel was 400
MimiSars Posted February 14, 2009 Report Posted February 14, 2009 Yes, I can. I knew a watchsmith. He told me, that he can get every replacement part from every manufacture. If anybody need something, please ask. "From" or "For"? Reason I state that is because he might just get rep parts...
Snowball Posted February 14, 2009 Author Report Posted February 14, 2009 "From" or "For"? Reason I state that is because he might just get rep parts... "From", no rep. parts, only gen.. Please PM me, I will meet him next Friday.
