New RG ROC 26022

After purchasing a ROC Panda dial last year, it immediately became my new daily and I ended up wearing it more than my Daytona WG Panda. That covered my daily and weekends but I still needed a more dressy watch and wanted something in RG. I did own a Daytona RG chocolate but honestly the dial was very hard to read and I never clicked with that watch. And to be honest this AP ROC was never in my radar because the online pics just didn't do it for me, but after seeing instagram photos of Anil Arjandas and his complete AP RG collection including this one, I was blown away by it. Then the search started for a BNIB one and after months I finally allocated one outside of RF.

Overall I have to say, I'm blown away by this watch. The wrist presence is simply stunning. AP has done an amazing job on the dial; the color combo of grey, RG and brown strap just work flawless together. And the RG brushed finish on the case? I mean it's a RO, if the SS looks that good, I could have only imagined how good the RG would look....and it has definitely delivered.

I do have the black rubber strap as well which will make the watch really versatile.

Have a great weekend guys....

PS the last pic is borrowed from Anil's Instagram....it's pic that made me buy the watch along with others from his instgarm. If you are an AP fan and like RG, you should def check him out

Wow I was not familiar with this dial, always seeing the white. It looks really nice, enjoy it.

Congratulations you have a beautiful watch. I love Anil's photos but not keen on the blingy bracelets he promotes and in all fairness the watches would not last a day scratch free with them things attached to it. Stick to the watch.

Excellent RG ROC! I much prefer the 39mm size and the sporty dial with a triangle indicator at 12 o'clock. Huge congrats!

Panda, blue/orange and this beauty are the way every ROC should look like. Sportier and more casual than RO.

Huge congrats!
