AP ROO Arine "The Legacy" V2 & FC Bumble Bee!!

Recommended Posts

Pseudonym

 

Just read PT's newsletter. The V2 is coming. Updated inc secs@12 & real Kevlar strap.

 

I happen to think this will be a cracking watch.

 

For those of us who have the V1... Can you enlighten me on general quality etc. with it being a 44m... Does it wear as large as it sounds?

 

The ROO BB FC is due to drop on 15th May. Given the ZF success of the ROO 44mm FC, this will be a cracker.

 

Best get the pennies in order.

The v1 Legacy had incorrect subdials, straps and whatnot. Can't really elaborate more on it since it wasn't all that popular.

 

Oh and it's 48mm not 44mm. So if your wrists aren't 8 inches +, then you probably should forget the idea of getting the watch

Thanks for the info. 48 will wear very large indeed.

Woah, I'm thinking I will be a bit of an AP gatherer going forwards lol.

 

But the 48mm may not be my thing. Although that UBoat I have is a monster (but that might be in M2M soon)

 

Thanks for the heads up on this one Rob :)

I will not be going near Legacy... with a barge pole....

 

So much wrong with it.... such a shame when J12 have been doing a stellar job so far on all their new releases....

 

Case not ceramic.... They haven't even used titanium to try and keep weight down on a big 48mm watch.. those pushers will be very uncomfortable and dig in for sure.

 

Steel bezel..... PVD coated..... bollocks to that.... not even ceramic... cutting corners or what...

 

Dial issues... all wrong again...

 

Lastly the strap..... Aramid / Kevlar they claim.... my f..kin ass it is ... the rep strap looks like shit and nothing at all like the gen...

Now i have a doubt.....i have 650 $ budget (initially for the Arnold Legacy) and i have 2 or 3 ideas: Bumble Bee (fantastic, but with black face i have Ap Marcus too) AP DON RAMON (the most beautiful IMHO) or Sebastian Buemi......

i wait some pics and a suggest when PSEUDONYM will post a review of his BUMBLE BEE!!

Don... again i've heard will be coming out again....

 

Dharma ..Have you considered the 44's.... DLC SS.... or a little bit more than your budget the FC which is imo the best AP out there by far !!
