The AP ROO Diver actually -is- a true diver at 300m resistance and has nihs 92-11 and ISO 6425 certifications.

I didn't say it was a diver, none of the ones mentioned are, so it's fair game to reference. Why even bring up the offshore? A 30k+ timepiece has no comparison to entry level panerai, which is where the driven casebacks are found.

I brought it up because it's just another watch that people hold in high esteem, similar to the explorer and a ton of other quality watches in the price point of the entry level panerai's. It goes to show that people think the new caseback makes it a lesser watch, and I was pointing out that it doesn't make any sacrifice where it actually matters (water resistance). Other watches of higher price points and "superior" casebacks can often have the same WR, which is impressive on panerai's part.
