Really like the look of the chronopassion - with the gray dial, white hour markers that pop, titanium case - I'm a fan!

So I picked up a brand new one from a member here and sent to legend for the Deluxe Treatment at the Spa!!

1. Complete movement overhaul w/graphite treatment. Teflon coating method and swiss mainspring.
2. Polish/sunken bezel screws
3. Tachy mod
4. Hand mod
5. Swap and align dw, and mod to fit
6. Waterproofing done

She started ticking as soon as picked her up, winds like butter and is keeping time perfectly. Obviously, I'm happy with my spa treatments!!

What is the "correct" thickness for these? Love the RG!

Rose Gold? The lighter face actually works brilliant with this.

Here’s me newest AP ROO aquisition: the Titanium cased-grey ceramic bezel-44mm.

This one has been modded by Domi:
- Prof Xtal & Cyclops
- Mikey’s DW
- Sunken bezel screws

I am wondering how to further improve this piece, as it is my first 44 mm ROO.
Thinking about doing a service on the A7750, getting the swiss mainspring mod, and perhaps teflon coat mod. My doubt is about the thinning possibilities on this model... maybe some experts could suggest sone ideas on how I could go about this. (i’ve done research on this topic)

visually your watch already looks as nice as it can look without going franken.
I do not think that further visual mods are necessary. If the movement is not exhibiting any issues, don't need to get it overhauled/serviced too. Enjoy the watch for what it is, its a very nice piece! This is just my opinion.

I got my 44mm FC in legend operating theatre for slimming surgery. There are 2 ways: if you keep the AP rotor you can reach to 15.3/4 mm; if you remove the rotor and the deco you can go as slim as 14.6 which makes it really close to gen specs...however I decided to keep the rotor (without deco) hence mine is 15.3/4mm and it sits already better than before.

Sometimes I wonder which is slimmer bro, you or your watch. lol
