All I can say is that I find this piece beautiful.

[email protected] · 5 May 2015, 07:55 AM

It is fantastic,just been wondering if it's to gold?

No because it's on the strap but as Sam's pic shows it's more of a mustard dial than gold so not ideal, would have preferred black or grey.

Jp28 · 5 May 2015, 06:08 PM

Dial is a big no for me and future scratches on the bezel will be a pain before long. So while I really like AP RG and RO/ROO this one is a 'no' for me.
Just wish it had a black/grey/anthracite dial and a ceramic bezel.....

Agreed. The dial color spoils the watch.

APRolex · 5 May 2015, 07:59 AM

Nice piece. Have owned it in the past. You'll be happy with it.

PS : Don't get rid of your 44 steel. You'll miss it as although they both might be ROO's, they are very different.

texex91 · 5 May 2015, 08:17 AM

AP RG is simply amazing!

martinr · 5 May 2015, 08:41 AM

Tried it on and thought it looked great

eonflux · 5 May 2015, 08:46 AM

Tried on a 42 mm gold last week. Really nice piece!
The store also had the steel 44 mm, and that also looked good on my wrist.
Both are, of course, heavier than my FC 44 mm.
One reservation I would have is whether the gold bezel on the 42 mm would be more susceptible to scratches/scuffs. It looks great new, though. Have you considered the gold 44 mm?

RHIII · 5 May 2015, 09:10 AM

AWESOME piece. Nah- if you're going gold - why not go ALL IN!!!

dchang81 · 5 May 2015, 09:22 AM

never liked the mustardy photos, but looks much nicer in person, same goes for the newer safari.

Abdullasaif · 5 May 2015, 07:06 PM

It looks and feels amazing, the plus is the open case back, 42mm wears better on me than a 44mm and the rose gold finishing looks amazing. So yes i would upgrade if i had the opportunity.

[email protected] · 5 May 2015, 08:52 PM

Thanks for all the comments,but they are just like me really split over this one,I should buy the rose and keep the ceramic,I know that but I'm not sure I would get the wear out of both.

I didn't really like this one in pictures either but seeing it in real life is another story. Absolutely beautiful, if you can find one!

csi-n · 6 May 2015, 02:20 AM

Tony, you have a beautiful 44mm steel/ceramic, so is there a specific reason for wanting to go to the 42 mm gold? I ask this because I think the 44 is a total beauty and personally I wouldn't want to make this change.

I'm with Sam on this one, I personally would add to the 44 mm steel /ceramic if it's in the cards. I just love my 44 mm and to be honest, I too have thought about trading in my 44 mm as well, but in the end, I just couldn't do it.

bzabodyn · 6 May 2015, 04:50 AM

I love it - esp on bracelet - behind the RG Schumi its my favorite RG AP ROO.

That would be my concern as well. It's a fact it will happen if you wear it.

I believe these actually belong to Anil Arjandas (he has an extensive AP collection).

I believe once you mount it, you can't take it off.
It's absolutely beautiful.

lapince · 6 May 2015, 05:34 AM

It's a beauty but I also wonder about the gold dial, maybe too much, I guess it's up to you but I would choose if possible a RG piece but not with that kind of dial

I don't often agree with Arnaud, but x2

incontrol · 6 May 2015, 09:42 AM

I love it! If I was looking for a ROO, this would be first on my list / wrist!

Hairdude1 · 7 May 2015, 07:44 AM

I love it.

mspeed76 · 7 May 2015, 08:17 AM

the dial color doesnt do it for me.. are they going to release an updated rose gold rubberclad?

Ticking_Sonata · 9 May 2015, 06:41 PM
