Recently tried on the AP ROO 26400SO, Stainless steel with ceramic bezel and can't get it out of my head!

One of those watches that just look so much better in the flesh than in photos.

Considering trading my deepsea and planet ocean plus cash for one.

Can any owner comment on this model? What does a service cost?

Thanks

ALL watches look better in flesh than photos IMO, in any case an awesome piece, really

conkers · 12 September 2015, 06:22 PM

Fantastic piece! Go for it!

aleeboy · 12 September 2015, 07:47 PM

Wearing mine now. Absolutely love it and still think it's the best watch purchase decision I've ever made. Very versatile and very very good looking piece.

A beautiful watch, it is a nice entry into AP, have fun deciding!

texex91 · 12 September 2015, 10:35 PM

It's a great one to get!

Service usually goes for around $1,500-$1,600, depending on if you send it straight to Clearwater or through an AD.

Awesome watch, one of my fraternity bros might get it this Christmas!

csi-n · 13 September 2015, 06:12 AM

Go for it. I think it is the best looking 44 mm ROO as far as I'm concerned.

Really love the clean open look of the white dial. Have the gold and plat versions but have been often tempted by the SS. Go for it!

I like it but prefer the forged carbon to it

Hairdude1 · 13 September 2015, 09:25 AM

I was in your shoes, after I tried one on, I just had to have it. The trade you are considering is worth it in my opinion. It is a fun watch.

I have a blue Deepsea and had a black one, and love(d) them both.
And I think the Planet Oceans are great watches (chrono's and non-chrono's, see or ti).
But AP makes watches a cut above Rolex and Omega in terms of details, finishing, etc.

The dial on that steel 44mm is mesmerizing.
It's a heavy, thick watch, and top heavy on a strap, but you'll be fine if you didn't have any issues with the DSSD or PO.
Go for it!

Jeffa32 · 13 September 2015, 11:10 AM

Thanks everyone. Your comments and photos have just magnified an already considerable itch !!! I just need to get my head around the value differential as I still need to add $10k to the trade value of the two watches.

But I have been thinking about shrinking the collection for quality over quantity. So perhaps the BLNR and DJII stay along with the steelfish for a beater and add the IWC to the DSSD and PO for the trade. This would leave me with two watches for th offce and two for the weekend. What do you reckon?

yachty 1 · 13 September 2015, 11:32 AM

Great watch. Very versatile.

It ain't the entry level watch to AP.

abnerc15 · 13 September 2015, 07:58 PM

You cannot go wrong with any of the 44mm Offshores... Great wrist presence and unique design!!

SMD · 13 September 2015, 09:20 PM

It's a nice piece.

I don't think he meant entry level, Johnnie, just entry into the world of AP.

Thanks for clarifying, this is exactly what I meant, any AP watch acquired, either big price tag or the least expensive is a gateway or entry into the world of AP.
