AP ROO 44 Pt on yellow rubber !!

I used to have a Seiko blue lagoon turtle that looked great a yellow strap. That was steel, blue face with seconds hand and dial markers in yellow. So whilst there are no yellow accents on the ROO 44 Pt I thought it would still look good (particularly for the summer).

So here it is :) The shade of yellow is great. Really strong. Will be great in the summer, as will the camo which I also got (now have too many rubber straps so no more for me). Pics in artificial light btw.

Other colours for those that are interested (taken in natural light).

Is the solid blue you posted the lightest solid blue option they have?

I know there is a darker shade of blue, but I'm hoping there is an even lighter shade, maybe like a baby blue?

The blue you’ve referred to is currently the lightest blue, it’s actually the option strap from the blue camo limited edition. Unfortunately there is currently no mid blue available, although with the number of colour options that AP now have I wouldn’t be surprised if a mid blue option was added at some point.

Very striking yellow, could be great in the summer.

The white and red are my favorites but they all look good. Awesome watch.

I think white or red work better than the yellow or orange for a loud colour as there is some dial matching.

Fully get where you are coming from. I really like the yellow though. Could be how it works with my skin colour (red and white can be a bit mixed for me til I get a tan as I am otherwise a pale pink during the winter !) or I have a yellow preference.
Either way, lots of option for the 44 now.
