bitten by the bug
So I as you know I was the first to detest the 42mm roos becouse of lack of ceramic bezel. I had the 44mm and even though I have a 7 inch wrist I struggled with size. I also came to realize the ceramic wasn't indestructible, ex I managed to scratch and also chip the bezel.
So I walked into AP in NYC and this caught my eye. Tried it on and obsessed about it for a week,Literally nonstop.Even though I didn't buy from them they were awesome. Hats off to Ap it's just perfectly balanced and the perfect size for me. I am also mentally prepared for my first scratch, I hope. This watch is breath taking in person and very hard to photograph.

Congrats! Grey Themes is a very nice 42mm ROO although I will still prefer if they have used ceramic bezel.

Only thing I can think of was my run in with granite counter top. Honestly I do more damage inside my house with my watches then anywhere else
