What's between the bezel and the case?

hello fellow Trf's

I've just noticed that on the ROO line there's a black detail between the bezel and the case Just wondering if you experts could kindly explain what is it? I did not notice it in person whilst I was at the boutique . Is it the waterproofing rubber ? or an O ring ?

If I recall correctly, it is indeed rubber.

So you can actually touch the rubber underneath the bezel with your bezel ?

Same on the RO, but the rubber is much thinner.

Rubber gasket to water proof the case. Normally it's hidden in most of the other watch because they are considered unsightly ; AP display them though inline with part of their slogan "to break the rules, you must first master them "
