I like the Safari but the dial color it is not correct:chatterbox:

I like a lot of them but the movement with sec @12 is not
reliable. 500 USD is a lot and doing a graphit fix every 2 month makes no sense.
I almost pulled the trigger but after talking toy watchmaker,
I am buying another HBB.
So if you want an AP, go with the one with sec at 9.
That is not accurate but you can have it for a long time

I personally like the Rubberclad version of the AP ROO, the rubber bezel gives it a nice contrast to the stainless steel case. Just got mine a couple of weeks back here in Indonesia and I've been wearing it every day with no problem at all 
Black theme with ap carbon fibre at 12 sec., but must have it serviced & lumed, mine was done with Ziggy,
No shite??
Been thing of getting one and thought after this much time they were better than that.
I have a handful of secs @12s and they have not failed me since. In fact, I've 4 more coming in. Its a myth re secs@12 being unreliable. My favourite so far? Has got to be the AP ROO Black theme. In 2 weeks max, it will be the AP RO Survivor.
I think that the Volcano/black/silver/navy themes are the most accurate. White has too dark subdials.
I don't own a sec@12, but I want to. Francisco did a breakdown of the movement http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/close-inspection-mechanism-ap-seconds-29686
If (more like when) I do get a AP sec@12 I think I will get Avitt to DLC the movement plates as he has done so on a Porto Chrono here:

Also thinking about having that problematic seconds gear DLC'd. That would reduce most of the friction.
Regardless, reps are easily spotted by those whom know their flaws. No matter how perfect everything else the date window is too close to rehaut. This is due to a different movement than gen. So choose the colour combination you like most. imho Black themes is best.
