Opinion for my first AP

Hi Guys,

This is my first thread in this forum and very lack information regarding AP.
Now, I am looking for a new toy and love to see the AP ROO, but I can't decide between the the AP ROO RC or AP ROO Panda. Which one is more attractive for you?

Currently my watch is with bigger diameter:
- Bell and Ross BR01-92 Heritage 46mm
- Panerai 312 & 275 44mm
- Rose Gold N5 Franck Muller GPG Conquistador 60mm
- Hublot King Power UNICO 48mm

I worry that AP 42 mm is too small for me, but I really love to see the AP, that makes me confused.

Your opinion will be really appreciate.

Cheers,
Michael :)

I prefer the Panda personally - it looks fantastic on the Diver strap.

What is your wrist size? Mine is 7.25" almost can't wear 44 mm panda, because it looks bigger than in picture.

Out of the 2 choices, Panda for sure. F1 strap you can order from your authorized dealer or boutique. If you are concerned about size, the 44mm SS is an excellent choice (I’ve owned both the Panda and 44mm SS)

44mm Panda Novelty better for size but 42mm Panda is prettier.

Thanks for all of the replies, now I decide to buy the Panda :D after getting many opinions from you guys :)

How much discount usually the dealer offers for AP? Any ideas?
Usually I get around 33% from retail price, is it possible?
