Order Confirmed: ROO Safarai @12 + SS strap

[gnerdy]

Hi all,

I just placed an order for a ROO safari with an extra SS from Lay at replicamake.com

Very pleased today when I finally got to the pics and video of my very much desired ROO. I have only ever seen the GEN and I heard that the replica strap wasnt very good to say the least, so I took an extra strap in stainless steel.

Here is the video provided by Lay prior to shipping:

let me know your thoughts. I should expect it soon, and will give a full review of that experience. First time buyer online... I usually travel myself to asia but I wanted that watch a lot!

I will update with my Own pics when it reaches my wrist!!!!

 

[Yannou]

Great choice...a must have...congrats and don't forget to post some pics about this beauty...

 

[guru]

looks good, but it needs AR

 

[jiddy]

I like the Safari a lot myself, so congrats on a nice watch.
Had the Gen version of on my wrist not long ago out at Heathrow, and well creamy white dials and steel is a sweet combo...

Enjoy and make sure to post pic´s when you get it

Ps. If you like the leatherstrap but want to upgrade you can always check out this superb strap.

thanks for the feedbacks...
i ll definitely upgrade the strap at some point... I checked the AP band straps although I have a feeling I can do better for this amount of money. There is a shop in Paris called ABP.

They have outstanding reputation but I yet have to check their prices... they might not be an option, but its local for me and I can probably get it tailored made.

I am quite impatient to receive the watch and i ll post my actual pictures in HD plus some wristshot. Some say the watch is too big and alhtough I am not big myself I am sure it will prove otherwise.

GURU, the Gen doesnt have AR... I think it would be a shame to take it further away from the GEN dont you think? I d be happy though to get that kind of upgrade on my next AP replica. I am thinking about the Barrichello II only that I am a big Formula One addict and that I dont particularly like barrichello himself.

Very nice; I hope it serves you well.

I have bought from ABP but the price is very high. Got a 22mm starp for my wifes PAM48, price was 200 €

Regarding the AR, I know the gen does not have AR, but it looks so much better, the dial is crisp and clear, nobody will know that the gen has no AR, you will get more complements and people believe it is real. On the barricello it is hard to read the time in the evening. here is a pic with AR :facepalm:

well, I have to say that you have made a point with the (great) pics GURU. How much did that cost/where? thanks for your excellent input

I work together with fine dd, he has his own section here in RWI, just check his posts.

and the price is low, I can tell you.

A frenchy ?



Otherwise Guru is right about the AR...and finedd...
The hornback APbands are very good
At your disposal

 

[Edgematic]

you just bought yourself the most versatile AP! congrats! ABP is expensive for straps... They charge €350 minimum for a hornback, you should pick APbands or HKtan.

Let us know when you received it, I'm also interested in buying this one.

just noticed, is the minute counter @ 9 off centered?

 

[gnerdy]

Yes Yannou, from Paris.. Where are you from? Britany I d guess.

I will take a bit of time to assess if its worth the complication for the AR. First priority is the strap. The brown hornback from AP looks very round and doesnt have the definition that you can sometimes find in a hornback I find... and it cost more than $300. I will get a quote from the local ABP.

thanks

 

[Edgematic]

let us know what ABP would charge you , HKTAN might also be an option, if you sent me a PM with your e-mail, I'll e-mail you a pic of his hornback, it's cheaper as well, $269 I guess.

 

[gnerdy]

well well, ABP is €350... that is expensive although there is no shipping charge in that case. I ll PM you for the pics.
I also found another option for a hornback on faubourg saint honoré, Paris for €250 and it is custom made... all option are available at this price. I just need my watch now

 

[Edgematic]

PM replied

Faubourg Saint Honoré, sounds interesting, I will look it up.

btw, can't open the youtube vid, they use music that is not allowed to be played in Belgium, too bad...

 

[Klockis]

Just recived my Safari and Black themes today.
I dont think You need AR on the Safari with the white/cream dial.
The black on the other hand could use it.
If You decide to AR use FineDD that others have suggested. I have used hin in the past and he is great.

I have bought a HKtan hornback for the Safari, but it have not arrived yet so I cant comment on the quality.
But for the price I think its good

If You want something different, APbands have a "Gummy" style croc for the AP ROO.
I'm thinking of getting a black one for my Black themes but they also have it in brown that I think will look good on the Safari.

 

[gnerdy]

Klockis can you post pictures of the two watches you just got... where did you buy them from?

The safari is going back to Lay to fix the issue with the chrono @ 9 / not alligned very very upseting...

It will give me some extra time to think about the replacement strap, although I think I will go local.

Fantastic service

Great watch but the modified 7750 it is a bit of a Russian roulette. I had to send mine for repair twice in 2 months. The first one just stopped working after a couple of days, and I got a brand new one. The second one was fine for few days but then all of a sudden the chrono hour at 6 started to play up and became engaged even when the chrono fuction was off. A lot of hassle for a 500$ watch.
