What do you think?

Finally got the chance to try it. Fits my wrist like a glove.

I loved it. But just not sure it's worth the price tag compared to the navy blue ROO. And still not able to confirm whether it's LE of 400, or just production of 400 pieces a year.

Thoughts?

Dial looks great and I like the yellow. Agree about the price though.

I like it. I would probably buy the Navy if I had to choose....or maybe not. I am not sure what is the purpose of this watch... Not a diver, not a chrono.

Looks really great on you, but not worth premium over ROO...

Looks like we all have a similar view, that it looks it looks great but the pricing is WAY off.
AP making a bit of a basic error on this one in my POV.

It's a beauty. What's the price difference from the standard ROOs?

Beautiful watch. Full in house chrono but, the 42mm chronos are better chrono movements for thousands less! If you don't care about the money than go for it. I'd take the navy though.

I didn't like it at first. Especially at the price point, but it has grown on me in the last month. Starting to really like it. I wish the price would be a little less though.

I think it looks amazing, but for that price, I am not sure I would pull the trigger. Too bad

If you take in to account everyone wanting a roo, I think this is "the piece." Everyone knows the roo, but this one is a touch different. I love it.

The purchase price would slow me down and when I got to what I could sell the watch for later it would really slow me down. Good looking watch, if you really want it get it but do it with an understanding of value.

I think it's too overpriced even for a LE. Won't mind a pre-own though at a significant discount. The yellow one sings to me surprisingly after I have the chance to see it irl. But I won't pay the price for a boutique exclusive at the moment.

It's limited production. Agreed on the price, steep for a steel n dateless watch.

Well, I got the confirmation that it is indeed a LE. Who knows if it will ever appreciate over time. I doubt it.

I'm really temped to take the plunge but then can't get myself to spend that much on a SS diver. Can get much nicer AP's for that price point. Namely the ceramic diver, or increase the budget to $30K and get the ceramic 44mm.

Or just get the Navy ROO for $19K.

You are the one person who should not be allowed to take pics of an overpriced watch
