AP really is fabulous

I have a handful of AP's and 2 perpetual's but this one seems to get the most wrist time. Anyone else enjoy this particular watch as much as I do or am I crazy?

I've got a bunch of watches from all different brands but the 44 ROO is very special, certainly a favourite.

Same, Many different brands. I have the RG version of this as well but something about this particular one does it for me. Maybe it's the fact that it's more understated than other pieces. Valet guy the other day asked me if it was a G shock. I just politely nodded and smiled.

I really miss mine. The early version with the very sliver dial was one of my all time favorite dial combos. Actually would probably rather have that dial on my Pt than the blue and I'm a huge blue dial fan.

Off topic here but if you enjoy blue dials as I do. Check out the Polaris chronograph from JLC. The blue dial is stunning in person. It's a lot of watch for the money.

Beautiful watch. I am probably different than most, but I am actually looking at an Offshore Rubber Clad. Something about it just speaks to me. Then I bought the white dial Sky Dweller over the blue. :-)

I love both AP & Tom Ford and I love the AP 44 more than any other as it just seems to suit every occasion and the ceramic bezel means I don’t need to be overly careful with it. I agree that the ss is very cool and in fact I always avoided trying on a 44 as I thought it would be too big for me - the ss version was the first one I tried on and was immediately hooked.

Off topic again but it's my post so it's allowed lol. How is the rose prick for the wife? I have around 10 different flavors of Tom Ford but have not had a chance to check out the new one.

I love it on her & she loves it. I’m pretty sure I got it for her for Mother’s Day earlier this year.

This forum is trouble. Not only do you folks on here enable people on watches now you're enabling on cologne and perfume. I'm going to have to pick it up now!

If we're talking love for the 44's, I'm right with you there my friend:



Swapped to the blue camo on my Panda from white and am enjoying mixing it up.

44ROO is very special and more so cos most people can’t pull them off physically or psychologically :)

I have 2 44mm ROO and a 41mm RO and while the RG44 one is definitely the highlight, it is the black bezel titanium one that gets 99pc of the wrist time. On a black rubber strap its a g-shock to most people which suits me just fine.

Love my 26400 ss as well. Have the earlier version and the dial is awesome. Wear it all the time in the summer.
