I'll be getting it done, sending my hublots of for there last mods this week so once they're back the RGRC and possibly either a panda or black themes will both be of for there modding, don't want to lose all watches at once. :lol:

Will get the double AR and cyclops done + serviced & waterproofed. I agree i think it'll look much nicer with double AR, the cyclops blue doesn't bother me but i may aswell get it done whilst there.

I mean with this one i'm not doing the mods to try and get closer to gen - the massive flaw of the logo makes it pointless IMO as just a huge tell, i just think it'll enhance the watches aesthetics even more so!

Whats the cost for double Ar/ cyclops and service/ waterproof mate

Rubberj00 · 21/1/13

Not sure precisely, mate and obviously different mods charge different; but from past times i've had these mods it'll be around:

câ‚¬150 for service (includes waterproof)
câ‚¬60 for double AR

Maybe they'd do cyclops for free if their feeling nice haha..

It's the 8 week wait that makes it hard! You'd have to get another watch to use for 8 weeks

Suppose when you factor in shipping also your looking at â‚¬250, hmm that's another rep

Would you swim with it if waterproofed, I ld freak out that the RG plating would fade with either chlorine or saltwater.
Sorry for my ignorance but what is so bad with the Logo?

And also Sharrkey, you ve mentioned you wash yours after every single use but what product do you use to leave the plating unharmed?

Thanks

There is a gap between the A&P should be closer together, I use the smallest amount of hand wash

J00 is talking about the space between the A and the P in the AP logo. On the rep there is a visible gap, but on the gen the gap is filled and part of the logo..

Mine:

Gen:

Notice the logo

I know what you mean, it's hard to justify, tbh everyone sais you don't bother servicing it unless they stop but with the 8 week wait I'll just get it done I think.

Not sure if I'd swim in it, depends how drunk I was hahaa.

+IRO to logo - it doesn't bother me, my point was i just don't see point in going all out trying to make as close to gen as the logo is such a give away it would be pointless. The double AR would just be to enhance the watch not make more accurate.
