Questions about ROC fit on small wrist

[dpkong]

Well.. i finally got to try on a ROC today!

I simply love the watch and dial and it was really tough to take it off. My questions to the experts here are..

1. The bracelet does not seem to "hug" my small wrist as snugly as the Daytona. At the lugs, the bracelet feels very stiff and does not bend enough, leaving a gap between the bracelet and the wrist, if you know what I mean. I'm wondering if it will bother me that the fit is not just right and if there is some way to remedy this. Rubber strap option??

2. Is this the newest clasp style? The blades on the clasp do seem a lot longer than Rolex blades and I'm also wondering it that will be another fitting problem.

3. Through the protective plastic, I think it looks like this watch is an E serial. How old would that be? And what would be the model number of this watch? I saw some other letters like what appears to be 3135?

4. How many removable links should be present on the bracelet? This is a pre-owned watch and there are 3 more removable links. It looks like I may need to take all of them off to get a proper fit.

5. The dial appears black when I tried it on but it seems to have a blueish tint in the pictures. Is it black or dark blue?

Many thanks for comments and advice!

Glad you finally got the chance to try one on!

1) Thats because of the shape of the case that is very long and with a integrated bracelet it leaves a small gap between the case and wrist. It all depends on your wrist how the watch will feel on.
Myself have a 6,5 wrist and it feels great on.

2) No that's the older clasp, the new is a lot more robust.

3) I'd say late 90's early 2000.

4) Not sure on the older models, But I think I got at least 6 removable on my newer one.
I will get back to you on this.

5) You are right, This dial is called black but it has a blue hint in it.

My questions:
Does this watch comes with a service history?, does it have all papers?
And what's the price their asking.

Being a quit old watch I would want to know that it has been AP serviced before I pulled that trigger.

+1. I would be cautious without a service history and papers. For me that would be a big deal when purchasing an AP or PP, but not so much for Rolex.

There is a sticky about buying used, check it out and good luck!

The newer clasp for the 39mm ROC has the stylized AP logo. I have a 6.5" wrist as well, and I have 2 removable links on one side, and 1 on the other and it seems to fit very well. A bit loose in the winter time but now that it's getting warmer I can feel that it should fit just right. Shouldn't be an issue if you're in a warm place like Malaysia.

I have 6 removable links for the ROC in total (3 removed and kept 3 on the watch) - H serial.

Best of luck with the search!

Cheers,
James
