Looks amazing Ash.

Could you compare Blue vs. Green together? I suspect that the Green dial on Platinum is just incredible in natural light....

Sorry I’ve left, the green dial is amazing and quite a dark shade, I love the heft of the platinum jumbo - a very special watch for sure.

You’ve tried on some fantastic watches today

When I was at the AP House last week I saw a customer turn up wearing the same titanium. Just had a quick glance in the lobby but was sure it was that one. Looked really striking.

Which Audemars Piguet are you wearing today?

Picked up my 43 ROO recently. Blows out the 44 and 42s in terms of fit.

Absolutely love nearly everything about this except the AP logo at 12 which I’ll warm up to over time

In another perspective, the crosses between the tapisserie looks like sparkles from embedded diamonds.

Congrats, looks great.

What makes it a better fit than the 42?

This is hardly scientific but it feels like the lugs are more tapered on the 43 and has better curvature vs the 42/44 which is a more sharply shaped watch

My 42 for reference… I’m a 6.75” wrist and wear the 42/43 to the second to last hole

I’ll do side by sides at some point when my 42 is on me

That’s really interesting. I have slightly smaller wrists than you and thought I was pushing my luck with the 42mm. If I can carry off a 43mm, that’s a game changer!

The 43mm roo lug to lug measurement is even shorter than the 42mm diver.

Yes, that is exactly what I thought. Didn't notice that when I tried one on at AP House recently but it wasn't the best light to be fair.

Just shwos again how natural light is needed to get the best out of any AP to see how it interacts with it, be that dial, bezel or bracelet.

Interesting. I've seen other comparison shots but in yours the 43 is noticeably more narrow than the 44. Also, you can see the crown and movement sit closed to the top of the case than the case back and I can see the curve of the case top. Where the Code 1159 curve in two directions you can actually see the slight curve 6 to 12. Or at least that's what I think, lol.
