PMed the seller, the aftermarket dial is awful.

Been offered to buy it with stock dial, still pending for a reply since 3 weeks lol

seeing as how this should ultimately be an exclusive group (let's hope they don't make these en masse like the Montauk) let's see all the beauty shots from all the members that waited soooo long for this gem. post as many pics as possible.

this is undoubtedly a remarkable piece. sure it has some of the same flaws as other 42 ROO's but it also has some nice touches others don't ootb. and as TheDonSL has proclaimed, "This is the best rep AP out of the box in my opinion...it’s a pleasure to wear." if you have ever gone into an AP dealer and tried on a gen ROO you will know that the Sincere Tantalum is massive quality on your wrist. despite the flaws it just oozes authenticity in the build, fit and finish. even the hornback is miles above any previous crap that used to come on these ROO's

so on to the pics and let's revel in our membership...

Love that lum!

hi guys… how do i identify which factory made this? i’m getting a custom strap made and the maker needs to know, i’m guessing at noob but i’m sure you guys know a lot more than me

 

[Woundup]

Only JF produced the ST. Only 100 pieces.

100 produced
But less got sold because PT had to "thrash" away a few due to yellow tarnish issue on dials
From what I remember PT "trashed" 4 to 6 watches

 

[cotti-rottie]

I saw there was an issue with the staining on the dials...didn't know they were scrapped, even rarer then

 

[Woundup]

There were many ST's that developed the lume varnish issue after they were delivered, which was unfortunate. My 'guess' would be that those who live in hot/humid climates and exposed the watches to sunlight were more often affected.

Who knows how many have the dial staining - but I would bet that the number of issue free ST's out there are far fewer.

The two that I have owned lived pampered lives. I'll be honest in saying that my current 'modded' ST doesn't get worn on hot/humid days...
