AP Diver vs ROO 42mm
Hi all. Looking to jump into the AP world. Tried on the ROO 42mm (Vampire) and found the lugs to be a little too wide and the leather strap to just barely fit on the last hole. Obviously draling with small wrists here.. question is whether the AP diver (either the first gen or 2nd) fit smaller or bigger than ROO? I imagine the rubber strap would hug the wrist better and I know I can get the smaller size strap. Just more curious about the width and height in between the 2. Cheers!

Some comparison pics for you from a similar angle. Big fan of the diver and was also really impressed with the CE black/red 42 ROO too. I would say dimensions are probably similar on the wrist. The pushers and crown guards kind of equal out, the second crown adds a nice extra touch too on the diver. The diver strap is quite a bit wider and is exceptionally comfy, this again balances out a bit the watch case on the wrist. If you were happy with the fitment of the vamp - then diver will most likely work just fine for you. I’m very pleased with mine !

I agree with Burlington in that i've tried both and found them to fit almost the same

I have both a 42mm ROO RC SS and a SS Diver. They wear the same.
