ROO Green Camo

Hi All,

Does anybody have the ROO Green camo (26400SO) on a white strap (or anything other than the included camo or khaki green straps)?

I'm interested in seeing the true versatility of the green model. I know the blue has a lot more flexibility, and I'm guessing the green is going to be more limited.

Appreciate any pics that might be out there.

Thanks!

My blue Camo has been red/white/blue since VE Day.

The green will rock the white strap and be full on summer fun...buy it.







And tomorrow is golf...practice only but the first time to hit balls since November. AP love everywhere...

Hey Gary did you win the last tournament to get the branded travel bag? I’ve got one of those.

Thanks, my unique interpretation of a ROO colour scheme. I think AP have really upped the game with the colours of ceramic that they've introduced. I'm sure there's plenty more variants on the horizon.

Ash, it was courtesy of AP and will likely never be used again as I'd never travel with a tour bag, but it's great for home storage.

Your passive brag wasn't lost on me, as you clearly won yours :)

The next time we get to golf at an AP golf event I have my eye on one of the AP logo'd carry bags :)

ROO Green Camo

The RG camo imho works better without the camo strap. Even better than Summer edition as ceramic bezel rocks!

Does anybody know the post that has the photo of all the ROO 44mm strap colors? I know I saw it earlier this week and now I cannot find it after spending 45 minutes looking for it :-(

That looks perfect. The only downside of the SE was that I was so fearful of a bezel scratch, which would have driven me nuts, that it stopped me wearing it. Put a ceramic bezel on it and it becomes a totally usable watch.

The brown Camo in real life is amazing. In fact all three camos are, the pictures do not do them justice at all.

Your photos tempt me to change up the blue camo for white on mine

That's what I was looking for - Thanks Gary & Ash!

Still looking through to see what might work on the green camo. Definitely agree white will work and should be great in the warmer months. Wondering about black, dark gray (004CA), and maybe the brown. Certainly not as "fun" as you can do with the blue, but still I think there is some flexibility.

I've not seen the green in person. AP showed us the Blue and the Brown last year at Gleneagles and AP subsequently had the brown demo version in their showcase at AP House. The brown is wow.

I recall there were some pics of the green version posted earlier this year and I remember the owner was wearing it with a blue gingham shirt, and it worked beautifully.

I'd say from the pics that the green isn't as LOUD as the blue, so will be more discrete if you so chose. If you put a grey/black strap on it for winter then its a nice discrete ROO, nothing shouty. Equally, if you put it on white, or the green option strap, then it's going to pop for summer.

If you want to be really shouty then put it on a red strap, those two colours go well together according to the colour wheel principle.



I'd honestly have all three variants if I was allowed.

I prefer the older camo model. I like how the beige colored dial and brown sub dials help break up the green bezel and strap. The watch still portrays green but not in your face green like the new camo model.

Previous post has all the camo references which may be useful for you as there is actually two camo green options.

And a pic of plat with white strap to give an idea

That’s a beautiful watch. And it looks great on the white strap.

the camo strap that came with it looks bad--no contrast. same with the brown strap which had the added downside of being almost same color as my skin and make it look like i was wearing a watch without a strap.

i wanted the summer edition look but on a more versatile watch i.e. ceramic bezel and less white on dial (so i can go alligator brown later if i want). the other RG doesn't work well with white strap because of black bezel imho and this one is pretty much perfect for the look i wanted. this watch was going to be my safari/summer edition in one in RG and it fits my collection perfectly for the looks i have in mind. between 26400ti and this i can go any almost any strap color combo on 44mm. the ti is perfect for daily as well given its weight.

I am very happy this watch slipped under the radar due to the supplied straps and pics and all the excitement on the steel ones which didn't interest me. I also found this dial and bezel combo better for what i was looking for in an RG watch, which is more exclusive than the other two RG and something that can pull of white and brown straps which my other ROO can't.
