Icon10 Ap ro 26326st

Hi, Happy New Year 2016 to all.

I have came across AP RO 26326ST, Tribute to Italy.




Anyone has any experience with this RO. Is it good model to go for? I have ROO 42mm Blue Theme and ROO Diver Ceramic in my collection.

After closer look, the original blue rubber strap seems a bit long for my 6.5" wrist. Extra croco strap seems a bit shorter but not quite sure about the length.

Anyone has the length for these two straps. Appreciated all comments.

It's a nice piece, but my first question would be, are you Italian?

Simply because I think the "Tribute to Italy" would wear off on me.

Hi, I'm not Italian. But like the silver white dial with blue sub dial.

Thank you for all comments. I normally wear ROO and use to the weight and thickness. Only concern are how will RO sit on the wrist and feel.

Decent looking. But not selling very well thus be prepared to take a hit for resale price in future.

Great looking watch, but I have feeling that opposite of ROOs limited editions, RO models doesn't sell that well, and in RO territory classic models are way to go...

What's about this "Tribute to Italy" vs ROO 42mm Slate or ROO White Diver. Any thoughts on these choices.

Thanks bud ! I wanted a daily ROO and this fits the bill perfectly, with the ceramic pushers to the clear case back with the 18K AP coat of arms & with the red accents. 🍻

Go for it! Its a beautiful watch. I had one but traded it. I even put it on a bracelet but it looks best with the straps.

Nice pictures! Like the ROO black panda as well.

Addy616, may I ask why did you trade the ROC Italy. Thanks in advance.

For chrono I prefer the larger offshore. The colors are beautiful though on this watch, especially in the sunlight.
