AP ROO Diver vs AP ROO Volcano?

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a good match to the Orange Lamborghini :)

I've been a long time fan of Volcano, and also it has more orange tone in the dial and has orange-stitches on the strap. But for some reason, AP Diver looking more modern to me. Very similar pricings, so no argue on that.

Which one would you pick and why?

Thank you!

Salih

Ceramic diver. More modern looking and the best scratch resistance. Plus the volcano has too much orange in my opinion.

The ceramic pieces in person were so muted to me… They looked dull, and didn't pop

I love the brushed finishing on the ROO's, it just GLEAMS…

I vote volcano

Agreed.


I don't understand the Volcano...although I've seen it in a PVD Black finish and that was pretty cool

Out of the two, Diver.

But might we tempt you into a 44mm? FC or Schumacher?

AP ROO Diver vs AP ROO Volcano?

Both are fantastic choices. The volcano provides something very different with the orange and overall finish giving it a special feel when on the wrist. It works surprisingly well - dressing up or down. If you are drawn to it I'd say you'll have to pick it up at some stage. Those who don't get it never will in all probability. The diver is a safer choice - and a watch I really enjoy. Amazing detail and finish. I'm not a fan of the ceramic diver at all. Good luck.

Some pics to assist:

Thank you, but I already have a Schumacher. FC Grand Prix is on my shortlist as well.

I prefer the look of the FC diver. The volcano uses the orange as less of an accent and more of a main color scheme. Aventador? Gallardo? Not that it matters regarding the watch but cars are my other passion.

Dull? With that statement I know for sure you haven't seen the diver in person. Ceramic diver orange is way more dull than the volcano, volcano orange is very vivid.

That's a hard call, it depends how subtle you want to go on the Orange. As a fan of the ceramic Diver, that would be my choice, I think it could be dressed up with more of an Orange splash by putting the volcano hornback strap on it.

I'm changing my answer. Get an all black FC AP 44mm and change the Lambo to a black Aventator.
