Had a quick play with the photo, and if you ever tired of the shouty lime green strap, a regular black one really seems to make it a lot more civilised and less in-your-face.

The great thing about it, is that if you dress as loudly as the watch, no-one will even notice it, but if you want to single it out for attention, then a full black ensemble will showcase it most effectively.

I think this piece highlights AP's brilliance in being a TOP Haute Horlogerie manufacture and at the same time being a cool trendy and innovative company.

No other manufacture of such level can release such as piece and get away with it except AP. Well, Richard Mille has their fair share of "out there" pieces and continue to release them but RM's whole business model revolves around that.

IMHO, that's a very cool colorful piece of HH you got there! Enjoy it in the best of health.

You have photoshop with black strap please?

benlee · 19 April 2016, 08:30 PM

I voted one.

Cognrats anyway. Important you like it!

A fairly rough and ready rendition – but should be enough to get a decent impression of what it’ll look like when its more sober strap’s fitted.

masterserg · 19 April 2016, 09:46 PM

^^^ I like that a lot!

I had the exact same thought! The matching lime green strap is overkill on the already sporty/funky dial.

Love it on the black strap

I think it's rather ugly on black strap.

You went bright, go all the way. Keep the green strap.

abnerc15 · 19 April 2016, 11:58 PM

Not a fan of this one... Only new diver I might like is the orange but still not sure from the pics...

conkers · 20 April 2016, 12:18 AM

Thanks for the photoshop. I think "all in" on this one works better for me! If I am going to be silly I should be properly silly!

subtona · 20 April 2016, 12:21 AM

I Had a similar color on an old motorcycle...I had a wreck and when I told the dealer to repaint it that color, he did everything but flat out refuse. He wanted to have me paint it red gray or anything else but "khalahari gelb"

Go Bucs · 20 April 2016, 12:34 AM

Personally not for me, but that is personal preference and I do not expect everyone to like my taste in watches either. I buy what makes me happy and you should do the same and enjoy it. Should be a conversation starter if you are going for that.

Danny83 · 20 April 2016, 12:42 AM

Congrats!!!

GarageBMW · 20 April 2016, 07:11 AM

Somehow remind me of Vuarnet from the mid 80's and that not in a good way ;)

RG1825 · 20 April 2016, 07:46 AM

Personally wouldn't be my choice - but I still think it's brilliant if you've got a large enough collection to start buying fun watches! If you're going to go all out, get it in green and go as crazy-looking as possible. Same idea behind getting a Lamborghini I guess ;)

Debating whether to get the full set. I spend more and more of my time in Thailand - these are perfect for Thailand!

jrs146 · 20 April 2016, 11:28 AM

It's awesome. Not my cup of tea. But it's beautiful none the less.

Perfect summer sports watch that will catch the eye

eal15 · 20 April 2016, 12:46 PM

I'm not a big fan but there are only 50! And I prefer dual register chronos. I'd prefer a date but can live without. The chrono isn't as good as the ROO chrono traditionally speaking. But again, limited to 50. I'd have to change the strap. With black, the green would be muted!

eal15 · 20 April 2016, 12:47 PM

sorry, I didn't even notice the black strap. So muted but just a little! lol

Hairdude1 · 20 April 2016, 02:55 PM

If one, I would go blue, given how much you flip i believe it will be more liquid than any of the neon ones

conkers · 20 April 2016, 03:15 PM

Blue is definitely the thinking man's option.

DeeTee · 20 April 2016, 04:49 PM

Immediately purchase these Air Max 95's to go with it

Great job btw, killer watch!

redsubby · 20 April 2016, 05:31 PM

I like the entire line up; although I'd personally pick yellow and orange over green.

Left wrist · 24 April 2016, 02:58 AM

Personally, I dont like this watch. They did great with the regular diver, this chrono, in the colors.. not for me but to each their own. i agree to other comments about the strap. Also, would look good on a bracelet.... I actually think it would look best on a bracelet

willski · 24 April 2016, 04:06 AM

It's unique for sure but not for me.

If you enjoy it though then all other opinions are irrelevant and I do respect choices outside the norm :)

jschmidtdmd · 24 April 2016, 04:14 AM

I like it Roger! Great for summer. Congrats!

alika · 24 April 2016, 04:45 AM
