Incoming ROO Diver

This is the watch that pulled me into AP. I tried it on around the time they were announced last year and have been waiting patiently since. Got the call on Friday and I'm elated.

I didn't get any additional straps except the other blue one as standard. I like the tan nubuck or suede one.

I know, not a lot of content out there on this watch. Spent a lot of time looking for content to tide me over, didn't find much.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!

Amazing!! Post more pictures please. It's remarkable how little press is available about the new 15720 line. I put in a request for one as well.
Just last night I was trying to find detailed videos about them and there was hardly anything online.

Looks good on the wrist! I love this model too, my wrist just not big enough for it.

That’s a good looking AP. Congrats and wear it in good health. Blimey, even a shark couldn’t penetrate that AP ROO bezel lol


Did you get any additional colorful straps?

Congrats OP!

I wore my friend's one and was surprised that the weight of this is lighter than my 15710st, must be easier and more comfortable to wear.

I still do love my 15710st as it was my first AP. Was told by my SA that this year they would allow the quick strap mechanisim to be fitted into older models, didnt ask about the price though

Terrific watch. I have the 15710 which is great, but the new models are a big improvement.

Clean! Did you get it from 101, Far Eastern or Taichung?

I started at Far Eastern, but my salesperson moved to 101 in the summer so moved over and took delivery there.

still curious why they opened two boutiques within 10min walking distance when most of the world is an AP-boutique wasteland. There's a lot of money in Taipei, though.

I'll be more blunt, it's bizarre. I really like the new space better and it has natural light. The watches look relatively terrible in the dark 101 space. I guess it's just an address thing. I am curious about the Taichung shop, I may pay a visit just for fun here over the holiday.
