My Virgin AP ROO - The First One (as put by Submarino)

Hi guys,

Just sharing my excitement on my virgin AP ROO which i just picked up several days back. Have got Submarino to thank for poisoning me with his inspiring review on his own in the reviews section.

It was so beautiful that i could not resist taking pics with my iphone while on my way home. Haha. I'm from Singapore, hope i am welcome to be part of your exclusive AP Club

Congrats! One of my favorite ROOs. I always think of this particular combo as the big brother of the blue dial RO 25860. Love ROOs on bracelets!

Thanks each & everyone here for the warm wishes guys! I'm still an amateur compared to you guys who probably own a large collection. Really happy to own my first ROO though not brand new, its almost new.

The guarantee book is stamped 2008 so i guess i'm lucky to catch a 4 yrs old. Other than the 3rd black pusher (therban) which i believed was previously hurt by a finger nail, rest of the watch was almost like new.

Wonder how much it costs to replace the pushers.

I'll look into my files to see how much was the service on mine a few years ago. The pushers are typically replaced as part of the service on the ROO and not upon request as an individual item.

Thanks Dee, Eric, ChristianN, Thomas, Shannon, mrarchiegoodwin, Howard & blcblc for the compliments.

Shannon- indeed, AP does chronos so elegantly yet sporty as well. Makes people notice.
