During my last visit to Mexico City I was surprised by an old friend with a fully disassembled AP ROO. A treat to the eyes. http://www.watchcollectinglifestyle....es-for-ap-fans

Simply unbelievably nice! The movement is also amazing out of the case. A post with the movement is in the works.

The owner of that roo had major "Cojones" to let that watch maker take apart his roo!

He's not even wearing gloves!

Very cool non the less. thanks for sharing!

Amazing indeed

Interesting!

HKRolexFans · 14 October 2013, 06:43 PM

With this amazing disassembly of a ROO, I must say that its a pity that AP didn't let the beautiful movement with gold rotor show off through a display caseback for these ROO models.

You should've seen the little studio where it took place.

Must have been very cool to see in person for sure and I love the thought of this watch makers little tools and parts everywhere. I'm sure he must be very skilled at what he does. But, no finger cotts or gloves

when I saw the movement with dial attached sitting in a tray resting on it's 22k gold rotor and not in a movement holder, I wanted to cry.

like seeing a Ferrari on a lift being serviced at a local small town repair shop and not by Ferrari.

Hope he has access to a dust free clean room to re assemble?

I felt the same way about it. As soon as I walked in and saw that I was shocked. Well, only in Mexico City.
