Only one thing, you said the bezel look rugged ... but in fact it's crap. It looks nice but you'll get dents and scratches VERY, VERY easely. That's about the only bad thing about this watch

I don't know if I'd call the bezels crap, but there is no question that the watch is thick and if you're not used to it you can bang it around. The crisp edges are also likely to take the full impact of hits rather than deflect them. The rubber coated bezels worry me more, but I have no experience with them.

Just a side note. It's really amazing how in tune we get to the space our body occupies. Put a watch on that's a few mms thicker and you're banging it on door cases, etc.

that is correct. a few mm more than you're used to and you'll hit some walls ;-)

The rose gold ROO with black rubber bezel and strap is my ultimate watch... I need to become a stock broker first though for one of those!!

You mean you have to become unemployed first?

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.
