Ap Mods

[maleth]

Guys,

Is it possible to center the crown on the Black themes, as this is the only major issue, the case back ...it can be done, movement also .....any help...thanks in advance.

these mods cannot be done with the current movement, only after putting a DD module movement in it

MMmmmmm and its hard to get?????

it can be had but you've got to be patient, now and then such a movement pops up on eBay, there's a member overhere selling these as well. I guess he asks $900 but bit too expensive imo.

These can be had at $300 if you search well otherwise $400 - $600. But if you're going that way you need to use a gen dial, you need gen hands or mod the rep hands to fit the gen movt. and then you have the casework, ...

Your looking at a $2500 - $3000 project. That's why you don't see many AP frankens...

The main problem is the case work. I have all the parts and one spare case but the problem is to fill the crown hole and drill a new one.

Loosetime (modder over at RG) done a pretty awesome work on a ROO, welding the old crowntube shut with 316L steel, drilling a new hole, shaved of the case and caseback, put in the mvt with dp module etc.
Most crazy mod I ever seen...
Probably cost a fortune to do and personally I think the ROO rep is godly good as it is, so unless you got 2-3 grand to burn it might not be worth it

Checkout his thread and make sure to bring tissues to wipe off tears, it´s beautiful.

You referring to the 1500$ project?
Yea not seen any updates for a while after they moved it to private mailing list.
