goodfella0406 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Just saw some interesting updates on Josh's site... the Sachin Tendulkar with the correct strap and some other stap updates, Volcano...etc..... My question and I am waiting on a response from Josh as well is, have there been any mods to some of the other issues with these watches? in the picture I see 000/500 Anything else on the Sachin Tendulkar that looks incorrect? What is the feeling out there on the accuracy of this model.. I'm making my move on my third ROO but want to be sure we are all in agreement on it's quality.... please chime in!

Samurai Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Mate...posting some pics/links in such posts always helps. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 ...and I just got the info that the APROO Rubens B. will not be updated with a new movement-plate! According to the dealer, this model sells like hot-cakes and the maker believes his watch is 100%. Anyway, there seems to be a parallel world of rep-buyers beside the forums.....I just know about 2 members that got the watch yet....funny....

bosk Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I'm waiting on a kill bill in Ti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecsm Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I have the Sachin but w/o the updated strap. Infact I've ordered a custom made croc Sachin strap. Asides from the Serial number, the subdials are supposed to be silver. The bottom on the case back is missing some engravings too. Asides from that I love the watch. Go for it. I think I've posted pics in this sub forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodfella0406 Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Heard back from Josh regarding mods, he said it was just the straps that were updated... It's a shame actually because the flaws seem like an easy fix... The Satchin is one hell of a watch! Josh also mentioned that Bumble Bee is in the works, lets hope they get it right!!!! You can find pics on Josh's site, under "what's new" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z3k0 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'm waiting on a kill bill in Ti. Yes, that would be sweet ... but I somehow doubt. Maybe if makers decide to produce one of new ROO models (26170TI.00.1000TI.01), that has Ti case, and then upgrade Kill Bill with Ti case. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Here is a pic of the Gen where is it supposed to say "base"? Seems you referred to my earlier post: New APROO out - the RHONE F....made for the Geneva boutique in very limited edition of 500 pieces in the color of the Switzerland national flag! The caseback is nearly 100% correct (although this is 001/500 again). The dial looks great beside the small error on the rehaut....should read BASE and not TACHYMETER. The Sachin T....is really nice and close to gen now. Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecsm Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Here is a pic of the Gen where is it supposed to say "base"? As Theo initially pointed out, the BASE was in reference to the RHONE F and not the Sachin. Given the updated strap it's pretty close to the gen. The tri-stitch looks good but the printed croc and painted edges might be a little give away. All in all it's still good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecsm Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) you have the new strap or are speculating that it might look that way? I'm speculating. I had a look at the dealer pics which aren't very good. My sachin came with a "calf leather" hornback strap. The top of the strap is blue but the edges are painted black. I think the Sachin rep strap looks printed and very similar, which is why I'm having one custom made. Gen pices are below, since we're already having this discussion, notice the gen straps have folded edges.
