Chary Report post Posted May 11, 2009 Anyone knows of any good deals out there or know of anybody that wants to get rid of one? Please PM. I've been eyeing them for quite some time and i think the time is here. There are some pretty good deals out there. Please let me know if you know of any. Thanks guys. Also would like your input on a Safari VS Black themes? What do you guys think about these two? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Report post Posted May 12, 2009 Gil at thewatchcollector can help you, he's a board sponsor (PM Stryke) and he'd be happy to connect you with the right piece. Both the Safari and black Themes are easy picks for the ROO line. Extremely popular. Someone smart online picked up a nice OEM AP black hornback leather strap with white stitching and mated it to a black themes and it looks fantastic. Stock strap is just black calf non-hornback with black stitching. Can't go wrong with the Safari either, both are always in demand it seems. Good luck. Here's a pic of the black themes/hornback combo for reference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

microboby Report post Posted November 4, 2009 Guys the AP themes Offshore retails for $19,000.00 , any walking fool can get a 30% Discount and Tax free if bought from the right watch dealer so a brand new watch is around $12,000 The watch I bought is a AP Themes with white dial and the guy took it to service in AP store in vegas and was quoted $6,000 for the service and bullshit that was needed. The guy offered me the Watch for $6000 which seems like a fair deal and there we go Ill take pics and post them just to make this point , If you guys like that watch just look for a good deal. If you notice on ebay 95% of the AP's there end the auctions unsold because those pieces are not moving right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you notice on ebay 95% of the AP's there end the auctions unsold because those pieces are not moving right now. What you are talking about here is not an accurate description of the market. First of all a $6000 service sounds like total bullshit to me unless the complete watch needs to be overhauled inside and out and if that is the case why would you want a beat up watch. Second, if the watch does indeed need $6000 of service and bought it for $6000 that means you will end up owning the watch for $12000 which basically is where the market is at . Unless of course you want to own a beat up watch and not service it and that certainly is your prerogative. I personally would never buy a beat up watch unless it was something really rare and the themes is hardly that but again your coin , your business.

Fortis Report post Posted November 6, 2009 Thank you Sprite, glad I can see how one will look if you wear it daily, that's how mine would look because I would wear it daily, it's a hard choice between white and black, not sure if it's ok with the mods to post an ebay photo if it's not please delete it I don't know how to remove sellers watermark, this is the one I am looking at, what do you guys think?
