rogerthat Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Just picked up a gen safari brown hornback croc strap as well, but you will have to wait for those pics. This thing glows brighter than a relumed PAM, The Zigmeister did an unbelievable job on this one! True C3 color, looks more green in person when not charged than it does in these photos.

bosk Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Wow....really nice...I was thinking of reluming mine but did not want screw up one of my favorite watches. I'm going to have to reconsider now. What happened to those screws on the bezel? -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 AMazing lume job Ziggy did. Looks like that takes a lot of lume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Nice!.....I have to have mine done soon! But, ya.....what happend to the bezel screws? They're way off tangent! You have to check it out! Be carefull koz it might affect your water resistance! IMHO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1459 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 lume is very nice but some bezel screws seem to be destroyed...and dial number surroundings are dirty?(2, 10-11) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK471 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 That watch is almost as hot as HikeUSA's avatar. Almost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalayclass Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Agree with Hike, what happened to the screws????? Someone worked with a hammer here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 That was my initial disassembly mess up. The damage seems much worse in these macro photos than in person with the watch in hand. I may need to readjust the screw heads though becuase I think symettrically they should all lineup? This watch is a bear to take apart,unfortunately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug911 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Looking at the screw damage from an engineering point of view only it seems to me that it would be unnecessary to even put a screwdriver head into them as they are captive screws and would be held by the bezel. Surely only the backs need to be tightened! Or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted March 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yes, you are correct...I know this now They are held behind by little tiny nuts. They do not unscrew from the front,one was done by me and one damaged by someone else who I thought knew what they were doing (watch smith I was using over the summer...not anyone on this board). Only 2 have marks that can be seen by the naked eye, keep in mind these close ups are like looking through a loupe. It is complex contruction the caseback screws are not holding the fronts in the little nuts behind the fronts are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1459 Posted March 11, 2009 Report Share Posted March 11, 2009 Yes, you are correct...I know this now They are held behind by little tiny nuts. did you actually try to unscrew them from bezel?? plus the watchmaker lololol.. [censored] happens i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Not lining them up is my fault...honestly I don't even look, or notice, or know these types of details - that is until it's pointed out and then it's plain to see. My focus is on the servicing and the mechanical issues with the watch, as well as the lume. RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RG Sorry Roger and RG, but on the ROO, this is a big give away when they are not aligned symmetrically ( is there such a word.....LOL)! That's one thing I noticed right away after looking at the GEN and my first concern when I buy my REP ROO! Hike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted March 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 No worries The Zigmeister ; I am more than pleased with the lume job and servicing. I believe lining them up should be relatively easy (will have to open the back though) The screwheads have nothing to do with The Zigmeister, I mentioned this previously just wanted to make sure that was stated officially.
