Second stunning AP today... Guess I have to change plans for my nex t watch :D

 

I now those questions are a bit "noobie", but may I ask, how to contact "Franken" and/or "Vac"? Are they members here? And how much are all these upgrades?

Franken means gen parts (bezel, screws, buckle, etc)

 

Vac is the CONUS (USA) modder of choice (my choice) for great work.

He forgot the crystal!

Agree. That AR is unreal. Do you feel that after all the mods, you find yourself wearing this watch more often? I'm trying to figure out what my next watch would be. Just go all out on one watch or whether I'd prefer to have a few watches to swap between. This watch looks amazing...like a holy grail.

I do consider this particular AP my holy grail watch. I have another being made now that will be done in February most likely which will have some improvements.

 

 

you will fall in love with watches and sell for another frequently on here, if that helps at all.

Isn't the date window too close to the side? Seems out of place.

Looks fantastic. I've fallen in love with the 44 ROOs and now have an FC and both Ti and RG Schumis, which are all awesome watches. I'm tempted to get them modded with gen ETA movements and am thinking of sending them (one at a time) to Domi to get this done. I've not used Domi before but gather he does good work on these. But not sure whether to just get the existing movements serviced or go the whole hog and pay extra for ETA movements to be installed.

I've used Vac a dozen or so times and have been thrilled. I do have one coming that Domi did the full boat on, I will post pics and review tomorrow actually. I will tell you it will be hard to beat Vacs work, especially on the movements.

Didn't get anywhere with Vac as for some reason he won't accept watches sent from the UK.

 

I now have the full trio of Schumis, having got a blue as well, which is my favourite.

He will only deal and ship with U.S. customers.....however all you need to do is find someone in U.S, too trans ship for you ....problem solved !!!
