Great watch(es). Would love to have one...

How did Uwe manage the bezel mod? What did he change?

All watches can be bought from our dealers. And I think the bezel mod is his secret.

I guess I will then. Archimede over at RWG a few years ago did a similar mod on his Navy AP ROO. Some of the screws were not seating flush with the bezel. He drilled down a small amount in each raised screw hole in the bezel enough so that the screws sat flush. Uwe most certainly did something similar to this, except took off 0.2mm or whatever more.

This is certainly going to be my next watch, been on the fence for a while but after seeing it fully modded it´s a stunner you got Mr D.
And I must say that Uwe is probably one of the most skilled lume guys in the mod world!
Hats off for a job well done and it´s a well deserved spa trip for such a damn fine watch :D

Wear it well friend,

Little late to comment, but been away to a place with very random internet connection...

I am wondering if the AP ROO stainless steel bracelet (made from 316L) is really different in color and shine than AP Diver bracelet (316F). I couldn't see any difference from Guru photo's. Is the Diver really made from 316F or is just our dealers marketing?

Thanks Guru, to conclude: is there any differences in color and shine between your AP Diver watch case (316F) and your ROO SS bracelet (316L)?
