Horological Meandering

Am I suddenly becoming too classical (ROO)??

 

What is happening with me?

Nicolas will be happy to know that I am starting to fall for a ROO. This one is the full Ti version.

But I need your analytical critics. If I recall, The ROO has been put on the market around 1993, 15 yrs ago. IMO this current timepiece seems to be of an early generation. Could you throw a guess on its approximate age?.

Is it me or it looks like the superluminova appears to be faded? In such case how much could it affect its efficiency?

The timepiece is said to be 45mm. Is it making any sense since todays models are listed at 44mm (the last thing I would like to purchase is a 41mm)?

Any changes to the chrono movement since this version? Was it 100m at that time as well?

Would it sound reasonable to pay about 60% of today's new one (ref #25721TI.OO.1000TI.06)?

Thank you and kind regards,

Yvessmile

was released in 1992, or 1993. Hey, I'm not responsible for that sudden love, my friend...LOL I'm more in love with the RO, as I find the ROO a bit too large. Let me elaborate, and this is just my personnal take, nothing more: When GG created the woman an...

personally i dont see the huge attraction others see. firstly the watch has a dial set up to look like it carries a V7750 calibre underneath which means that there are millions of watches out there that look the same, secondly there are far too many 'spor... 

Where is the twist?

Luminova can lose it's "brightness" and ability to hold "charge;" superluminova less so. AP has started shipping, in very limited Offshore models, a new version of the Offshore chronograph movement. This should not be confused with their much rumoured all... 

When I said that you are THE expert, Thomas! LOL

Still blushing, my friend? LOL Wow, you really surpsied me about the Luminova that fades with time... I strongly believed that only Tritium faded...Not Luminova... Another Urban Legend that died, tonight..LOL Thanks for the correction, Thomas. Nicolas

Dreams never really go away, they simply "sleep" for while and one day...

My family members thought that I was impulsive when told about my new project. But they supported me and agreed that this timepiece appears to be nice. And, a week ago, when we all went for this special moment and they saw it "live", they suddenly realize...
