I realy love this watch. Good thicknes, good weight, and it feels so good on the wrist. I wish they make a ROO with this thicknes(14mm)

Yes i know, that sux.. but i think SS bezel is mutch cooler then ceramic bezels. So i prefer them anyway :)

I agree 13-14 mm is a sweet spot. You can go Franken and get a ROO in the 14.3-14.5 range and that feels pretty nice.

Totaly agree with you Buddy. 13-14mm is the sweet spot, yeah thats true. Maybe i will do that in the future.. But i think its strange that JF/ noob cant fix the thicknes at the begining. Is the movement to big so the cant do it or what is the problem? If our modder can do it why cant they? They make so good quality watches but they cant fix the ”orginal” thicknes on this ROO AP’s i dont get it..

The movement of all rep chrono APs is a modified A7750, which is significantly thicker. Hence the thicker reps.
In theory you can thin the case a little if you remove the deco plate and rotor, so you’ll have a manual wind AP chrono. Im just not sure this is ideal lol.

Spongebob seems to do some magic where the caseback and midcase and maybe.bezel are all trimmed a bit, and possibly the caseback is excavated further to clear the rotor, and can achieve 14.6 mm vs the gen 14.3 mm. This can be a very reasonable approach as spursian and others have found.
