krustybrand Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Because the modifed movement is different...some plates over the movement...nothing to see. However. I can make a decal showing gears... not very good...but better... Ah, I see. Another plate under the first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tridad Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 the buckle is total wrong the genuine is titanium Like anybody would notice the buckle inside the strap....!!!! If you don't like it, you don't have to buy it. I think it looks great for what it is, I placed my order and can't wait to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bosk Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I still think they could have skeletonized the two plates by drilling the center hole larger...and then used an o-ring to secure the hour wheel in place. At least the main gear would be visible after the mod. The "soul" of the watch is missing in this version since the skeleton dial is the heart of the gen, IMO... but it still looks great...albeit not $600 great. -bosk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sander Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I think it looks pretty good. I'm wondering about the quality of the strap though. Could me hard and expensive to get it replaced by a gen one. Also I'm a little concerned about the size. Remember that some of us say that the standard ROO is a tank with 42 x 15.5mm. This one is even bigger with 44 x 18mm. Although the description says polished bezel, it seems like the side is polished and the top is brushed like the gen right?

Guest Sql_pl Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 What is most interesting is that Joshua's description says it is stainless steel twice and once that it is titanium. Now guess which one is correct? I also wonder about serial number - hope it is not 000/000 or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nikos1978 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 is other site tell that is MADE OF TITANIUM I CAN NOT UNDERSATND? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Joshua confirmed that it is Ti. Good point on the serial no. though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3k0 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 This is one nasty looking watch, can't wait for some quality pics, but I think I'll have to get it ASAP Why not simply skeletonize the plate in the appropriate places? Because, not even plain 7750 have visible hour wheel, and I don't think it's possible to drill top plate (I mean top plate of regular 7750) in that way. Only thing that could be done is putting fake gear (and possibly some screw heads) in that spacer plate on moded movement that has no other function. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Already ordered mine. Should be with me on Monday/Tuesday. Intersting screws on the bezel. Wonder if there is a screwdriver to open them. I will definitely send the crystal to Chief for some of his magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veyron Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Going to order this as well, looks really good except the plate and clasp. But if you brush the clasp it's hard to see it's not Titanium Does somebody knows when they come with the rosegold and platinum version? I will post some rep vs gen pics when I have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 The RG version will probably be coming after a couple of months....no idea on the platinum ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dani Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 is the lug width on this much bigger then the regular roo? say 44mm and the regular roo says 42mm, so in terms this should wear bigger then a 47mm pam more like a 50mm pam if that existed have can RB even wear this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIBOOWW2 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Completely agree I bought a brand new seconds at 9 from Time4direct - very pleased with it. Looks identical. $299 Seems hard to justify the extra $300. For the rare person that notices the seconds in the right place, are you gong to pass it off as a genuine, anyway?

EricG. Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Am I the only one that thinks a good part of the cyclops is cut off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fido Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Am I the only one that thinks a good part of the cyclops is cut off? Is just the angle of the pic, same happens in the gen, actually the only flaw i can see, as many before pointed, is the missed gear down the dial, and we have to wait to se the serial number, should be xxx/1000 regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosk Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 King has some new pics. Serial number doesn't look to be 0001/1000. However the cyclops definitely looks cut off. Kings pics show that the plate has polish swirl marks. A bit better than Josh's pics. The cyclops is NOT cut off...that's only pic angles.

veyron Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Why did they swirl marks? On the gen it has some staigt lines on the backplate. Should this get updated with new batch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3k0 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Yes, and from Kings pictures it is obvious that bezel is correct, brushed on top I was afraid if that was correct. Also dial is definitely skeletonized, and plate is visible, so some mods in that area will be possible. I must get this baby soon ... regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fido Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 AP bands has the band model for this good option for replacement right? at least cheaper than GEN regrads I think it looks pretty good.

veyron Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Serial is also oke, 0061/1000. Clasp is brushed, not sure if it's titanium but better than polished SS. Only thing is the plate, maybe this will be updated when first batch is sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
