First AP Incoming

Been looking at AP for a while and finally decided to pull the trigger. Such incredible finishing on these. I can’t stop staring at it...

I love my Rolex's. They're great watches. I have two subs, a GMT II, Datejust, and a Daytona. Those aren't going anywhere. The AP is definitely a bruiser compared to those though. After the honeymoon period with this ROO, I would suspect pretty equal wrist time getting shared across the bunch.

Thanks

The pictures honestly do it zero justice. In fact, if I hadn't seen one of these in person, I would've never considered this color combo. It literally goes from almost dark black in low light to a soft/light brown in direct sunlight. Very broad range of colors depending on the lighting.

I was in Vegas a few weeks ago walking from the Cosmopolitan to the Aria and passed through the Crystal shops mall area. There was an AP boutique in there so I decided to check it out. I was really going in to check out the ROCs but came across this havana ROO. It looked attractive in the case so I decided to try it on and was super impressed. For whatever reason the brown and blue just sang to me. I don’t like impulse buying things immediately so I slept on it for a while and ultimately had to pull the trigger.

Congratulations!! That’s one of the most gorgeous colour combos.

Looking great with the suit too and that tobacco brown strap is beyond perfect.
