Congrats! If I guess correctly, the PT ROO you purchased is one of the most handsome looking piece in the entire ROO line up! Can't wait to see the wrist pic!

AWESOME!!!!

Summary
It feels great on the wrist.
It is not imposing flashy in fact I think 99% of people who looked at it would think that it is stainless steel. Which I really like.
It is vey comfortable...surprising comfortable. Especially given that I have been wearing a vintage VC 35mm recently
Weight is no impediment. In fact it really suits a watch of this size.
It is the best AP I have owned. My last one was a black themes on bracelet which I really loved but only sold because I thought the pushers were getting a little dated. In comparison this is ultra slick and looks very modern.
I am sorry for the crappy photos but I will post more soon.
I will stop my rambling and do something more meaningful at work......like set my watch!!
All the best
Hamish

How about two more.....mirror shot anyone? and yes I am a nerd that went to the bathroom to see how his new watch looks.





As you can see the size looks great on my wrist and the watch fits perfectly.

I really like 44mm vs 42mm....44mm fits even better than my old 42mm did and the tang is surprisingly good vs the bracelet that I used to have on the themes
