I bought this one last month and I LOVE it. Total 180 from all my Rolexes and it's very very hard to go back. I've worn various TT and SS watches before, but this one catches the most attention from other people. PM me if you have any questions about it.
Nice!!! I love it! Do you wear it every day or special occasions?

Love em too

In love with them too, very different to Rolex and far far less seen, in fact I have only seen 3 in the wild here in HKG in last 2 months...........

Here's mine and currently got my eye on the RO 15300 white dial for work (shirt and suit),

I wear it every day; it's a very fun watch to have on.

Dylan, nice rubberclad. How's it holding up?

Its holding up just great thanks Scott; although admittedly it only sees’s wrist time Fri (Casual office day) and weekends......Mon to Thu is Rolex for business attire.

I'm a little concerned about some posts claiming the rubber looses it matt look after time turning into a shiny worn appearance but I have yet to see any clear pictures evidencing such or notice any such change in mine.

How's your bezel doing as again many "claim" they are scratch magnets......?

So far, so good; it has survived a lot of drunken nights already. I did take a chunk out of the edge of someone's wall with it though

nothing but praise for the brand, they have some stunning models, quality and craftmanship , looking into adding the ROO safari to the collection, i had to get used to them but they grew on me big time.

Not a fan of the ROOs, i think the sub-dial arrangement isn't that great, the hands are a little slim for it and the bezel looks a bit off, especially from a sideview.

But the Royal Oak Chronograph is the one watch i would love to own, it has the perfect looking dial, the bezel is less pronounced and the watch looks a bit better overall, for me it's the way the ROOs should look, albeit 4mm larger.

The AP is a fine watch. Their Dress watches are top of the range.

Hello Howard,
Just wondered why you wish they were manual wind? Either way is fine with me, so I'm curious.
