New 42mm ROOs

So, I had the chance this weekend to finally try on a few 42mm ROOs in Las Vegas as they're are no AP dealers close to me in Texas.

The only one they didn't have was a grey themes because it had sold earlier that day. My favorites were the black themes - the red stitched hornback on the new buckle is excellent - and the navy as the white subdials and orange accents really look great. Either would make a great match to my Diver on bracelet.

What's your pick?





My diver:

Out of the two you mentioned I prefer the navy but the grey is my favorite of the new 42's.

Navy. You already have a black dial in the Diver.

Probably wait and see the Gray live.

Good luck!

Grey too. Black is too similar to your Diver and I don't like the orange with the blue.

No interest in the 44MM Novelty? I have an AP Diver as well (used to have Safari) and was looking for a different AP to complement the Diver. What sold me was the awesome details of the dial (red tipped hands as well, panda theme), ceramic bezel (scratch resistant), flat pushers (really modern looking).

So, I got to try on the grey dial today and... I left unimpressed. I did like it but the black was definitely my favorite if the new ones.

The real problem now is I tried on the 44MM SS and FC and now have more to think about...
