New to the ROO Family!

I've owned various APs throughout the years, but never an Offshore. Much less an Offshore chrono. I've long admired them, but always thought they may be a bit too loud for my personality. Still love my other APs, but so glad took the leap, and it's very quickly becoming one of my favorite watches. I know lots of folks aren't big fans of the "new" navy, but in the end, watch collecting is about buying what you love and this is the watch really spoke to me. Thank you TRF and the seller! Can't believe it took me this long to join the ROO family!

Great looking watch, I personally much prefer your version to the older navy.

HUGE congrats!!! This is my personal favorite ROO, I love that dial and the exhibition caseback.

Out of curiosity what part of Virginia are you in if you don't mind me asking? I actually just closed on a new home in Suffolk today.

Thanks you all for the comments, i definitely am enjoying this piece! And a big congrats to you as well, that's great!! I am just outside of DC -- Tysons area. Probably easier if I change my location in profile to DC, as I'm just a couple of miles across the river

Looks great! The rubber strap on the ROO novelty blue is super comfy too!
