I want to thank Domi for his fantastic work on modding my AP Rubens Barrichello-
project. I'm speechless! You've really done a marvellous job. Mille grazie!

Many thanks Guru for the parts and for all his help.


Mods:


1. LWO 283 movement
2. Custom datewheel from Edge
3. Côtes de Genève
4. Replacement crystal from Domi
5. Replating on golden hour wheel to silver
6. OEM AP RBII strap
That's just what I needed: An OEM Ti-deployant clasp.



Not for Sale! Not for Sale! Not for Sale! Not for Sale! Not for Sale!

I'm so jealous right now. :( What a beauty man, congrats! I hope to own exactly the same configuration one day. I suppose this will be your favourite for a long time? Enjoy it and please post some more pics. :)

Thanks guys.
I'm sorry, but the lens of my camera is broken. Cannot be used anymore. Introduction and better pics of my AP RBII coming soon.

I gaze at my RBII and never tire of it. Hypnotic and that's just fine with me.
Is a great feeling to wear it. :matty::matty::matty:

So is the dial on this model compatible with lwo283 movement? Meaning isn't the date window on the rep dial a little too far to the right?

Domi makes it compatible, but the date window is not perfectly centered. It is a little to the left side. It's not salient.

Hi RWI650,

I'm happy to help you. You'll see this with a watchmakers eye loupe. But with the naked eye,
it's very hard to notice it.

Thanks Joe. I know. You like Zorro's GP. I think, a RBII would be an ideal complement.
