AP RO Offshore bulky or not?
How does a AP RO Offshore novelty wear under a cuff shirt and with a suit? Is it bulky and uncomfortable or does it only wear casually with shirt sleeves rolled up ?

I have a 7.5" wrist and have bought and sold the ROO Chronographs a few times. Each time selling because I got tired of the "bulk" but some people like that.
I prefer the 15202 and the ROO Diver is not too thick either, especially in Ceramic which is light and comfy. ROO under a shirt cuff is a tough one. |

It probably depends on the shirt. They would be too bulky for me with dress shirts.
I would love one though for nights and weekends. If you are looking for something for under the shirt, I'd go 15400. It's slim enough for under a dress shirt cuff, but also looks good when you role up the sleeves since it is a bit wider at 41mm.

I only wear mine casually. I think you'd have to get a custom tailored shirt for the Novelty to fit under the cuff. For me it would be too bulky with dress shirts

I really don't mind the bulk on my ROO or the weight, it doesn't fit under any shirt cuff i wear from the thickness. As of weight its super comfortable for the size i was worried about it before buying it but got use to it really quick.

The Diver will fit under just about any cuff...the chronos...a little tougher.

Personally no prob with my tailored cuff shirts. Love it but in absolute terms my 26320 fits more elegantly.

It isn't a Patek or RO so yes; its bulky and that's the appeal.
A custom shirt will solve the cuff problem easily. I've worn my ROO's casually and with a suit. No prob. |

IMO, among all the novelty, RG suits the best with suit. I have 7.5" and when i tried, it sits very comfortable, but its just i already have ROO 42 which i slightly prefer.

For me the ROO line is for casual wear.
