I’m Considering purchasing the AP ROO 42mm “brick”, the 25721BA blue dial, aka the “beauty” or “pounder.”
Does anyone own one? Any advice and/or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Brick owner here. It certainly lives up to it's name. I am used to heavy watches and have no issues with the weight, but I know others have expressed that it can be problematic. It is gorgeous, but of course it's not subtle by any means. These days it is a piece that only sees wrist time every now and then, but it certainly makes me smile.

Good luck and be sure to post pics if you pull the trigger!

I looked at it but ended up going for the platinum version with the fume grey dial. Even heavier and felt fabulous on the wrist. Half a kilo. A bit more understated than the BA or OR versions but all are fabulous!

AP needs to make more full bracelet Platinum monstrosities. I love them. 400+ grams on your wrist is a magical feeling.

I have the brick. It is heavy, but wearable. I now wear it on strap. But have both options.

You may be since I've been holed up in Socal for some months now. Please hold down the fort.
