Great story and outcome, congratulations!
I’ve said it before, the AP silvery white dial is tops. And especially this ROC, as in the taxi pics, really is special the way the subdials contrast with the rest of the dial. Great pictures.

p.s. I have to admit that your wife’s bad is also seriously cool with that matte grey color. Congrats to her too.

Thank you. You’re right but while pics make it look great, you never fully understand or appreciate it until you see it in person.

The matte color on the bag is definitely unusual and awesome in person.

Haha, thank you. The workout program isn’t too hard - I mean I’ve been working out over 20 years, but it’s the constant eating that’s harder to manage!

Haha thanks. It is definitely more… dainty/delicate that my DSSD which I’ve worn in a variety of situations with no fear - not something I’d be willing to try as easily with the RO.

Someone had their wheaties!

What an amazing surprise, you had to take it. It’s money in the bank.

I paid 60 for my non 50th chrono and felt it was a pretty good deal lol

Lol. Mine and a few others’ :)
That’s basically what it came down to - it was fiscally irresponsible to pass on it…and what’s better is my wife agreed with me which is a win!

Some recent pics. Can’t help but keep admiring this; I’ll be honest I haven’t been able to put my ROO on for more than a few minutes before putting my ROC back on.

Same it's how the new bracelet shine, I move my wrist from time to time just to see the reflection of the light, not even that active with my 43mm ROO haha

My main problem now is I am far less interested in wearing my 26260 ROO… eventhough it’s only 8 months old. Selling it might not go down well with AP either though. #FIRSTWORLDPROBLEMS I guess..

Even more first world problems, I think that ROO looks incredible on you. So now should you wear watches for you or for random strangers on the internet!

Marine Corps Birthday Ball.

And I need to figure out how everyone posts high quality pics - it sucks how small a resolution this site permits.
