How would you make the caseback? Would be a nice franken though .

CNC engraving

Yes I know, my CB got engraved too, but you would need the correct font. Wont be easy.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Rue St Honore is just a Blue Themes dial/tach with red chrono and seconds hands. Plus the engraved case back. It is easy to Franken, but the red highlights would probably get on my nerves over the long run.

Yes you're right. I'd most probably wanna do an Oceano.

The caseback font is called "Gogobig" https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bogusky2/gogobig/

The Jalan Bukit Bintang had this font also, does anyone remember any more special editions that used it?

Reference 25721.ST.O.1000.ST.05.

My favourite, the first arabic dial ROO, pays tribute to the original petite tapisserie design of 1993 ROO, while adding lumed numerals in a peripheral ring that provides a sense of balance and structure lacking in many of the later grande tapisserie models. The same dial was later used (in black) in the End of Days, the first special edition ROO.

Is that your gen? Very nice! I love the arabic numerals more than stick markers.

It's one of my first ROO's, even before I found RWI I fell in love with the design. Heres next to BB:

thats a fantastic looking watch. All it needs is some AR on the crystal to help make that face pop! is it just me or is the body smaller than current APs?

There is definitely a reason why some of those are forgotten....
