AP ROC 26331ST blue dial - some macro and wrist shots!

Hi all,

I did a video on my blue dial 26331ST chronograph and I thought I’ll share with you the link, in case anyone wanted to see the wonders of this blue dial up close.

Hit that YT link below to enjoy the video review!

My wrist size is 6.5” or 16.5cm for reference.

Enjoy!

These are truly amazing watches. I just wore mine (Panda) the whole weekend and, despite my extensive collection, this is a true beauty to behold.

Looks better on your 6.5" wrist than I expected. I'm 6.75" and was thinking about the new 38mm ROC, but maybe I should give the 41 a try as well.

Ha ha. I can imagine. They’re just stunning watches. I gotta admit, panda has more character than this blue one, for some reason. The colour combo black and white is just timeless.

They fit really nice mate, and yes you should. I’m sure it will change your mind. I am not chasing 38mm particularly because it’s too small for my eyes; and also that it doesn’t have blue dial is a turn off for me.

This is how it wears on my tiny 6.5” wrist, and you can see, it wears nice.

Sorry to bump an old thread! But great videos, really enjoying them.

Curious, this shot looks great on your 6.5” wrist and in the last week you posted a new vid on the 38mm 26315ST panda and seems like you are in love with it. How’s your view changed on the 41mm vs. the 38mm? I have a 7” wrist and having a hard time deciding which would fit better. Thanks!

Still waiting if they will release new RO with in house movements. Hopefully could also address the centering of date dial

Hi mate. Sorry for the confusion. In my 38mm chrono video, I only talked about general opinion that it wears nice. I never said in it that I prefer 38mm over the 41mm chrono. For me personally, I still prefer 41mm ROC as the 38mm is a tag smaller for my liking. .
That being said, 38mm does work fine for my 6.5” wrist so for anyone who prefers a smaller watch, it is the right size. I like more wrist presence on my wrist, so I find 41mm to be a better fit for my eyes.

Thanks so much for very kind words and feedback. This video is over a year ago and my overall quality has quite improved. I hope you did check out my latest videos too :)

Great feedback and helpful in making the decision.

Did you end up keeping the blue dial or the panda for the 26331ST? Both great choices.
