That looks great.

BTW, how do you change the strap on that thing?


Very carefully :D First you need a conversion kit with 4 plots and 2 new screws. Then you remove the 4 screws from the side of the case to release the bracelet. Attach the 4 new plots to the straps with the 2 new screws then attach the new plots to the case with the existing 4 screws. And wah-la :!:


So...I'm gonna guess it's staying on the strap for a while. Again, looks sucks man. Much better on the strap IMO.

Put the ROO on an OEM AP Racing strap and it really makes the dial pop. Love the new look. The quality of the AP calf strap is butter smooth, it's a bit expensive but worth it!

man i love that f1 strap serge! IMO that strap is much nicer than the hornback.

The hornback looks great on the Safari but I have to give the F1 the nod on the Black Themes

Wow, so much to see in one pic. I'm nuts over the Fifty, but that Glashutte and the JLC you already had are fantastic. Love how deep black the face of the JLC is.

Looks like theyve fixed the problem with the logo rotating with the alarm. Is that right?

@ RJ...the LE Incursion models have the logo etched on the crystal while the "standard" LE models have them on the alarm disk in the center of the dial.

I wouldn't call it a problem but on the Incursion LEs they etched the logo into the underside of the crystal so it doesn't rotate with the alarm disk.

Solid move. Strange that they dont to it on both models. It always seemed like such an oversight to me.

From Sergio's pic you can actually see the shadow of the writing on the crystal on the dial. Pretty cool.

Very very nice, good move there. I really must get down to my AD to try on one of those seal's.

Shame, that Zenith is a nice piece although I understand your thinking. You'll neve be done :wink:
