AP ROO 26400 camo green - Hands-on Review and wrist shot on 6.5” wrist.
Hi all,
In this review; I take an up close look on this beautiful beast AP Royal Oak Offshore 26400SO in camo strap. The video features macro-shots and details of case, dial, caseback, movement, ceramic bezel and pushers, my personal thoughts and wrist shot on smaller 6.5” wrist. Video link down below. Let me know what you think. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/7MlM-LoEhx0 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks a lot for this. It looks great on your wrist, despite smaller size - doesn’t wear big at at all.
Well done and great pick up! |

Best shots of any 264xx I’ve seen yet. Stunning! As I said many times, I think 3120/6 look better than the new movements. Many congrats for an incredible piece!

That movement is a complete joke inside such a huge case. They could fit 150 hours power reserve if they wanted to. But cost control seems to be their priority.

Respectfully disagree. Methinks it looks perfect. It is a big watch.

Great watch, really like it. Not crazy about the movement, perhaps too small? Also maybe could have finished it better? Would not stop me from buying it though (prefer the blue).

I love the movement anyway. But I agree they could put bigger one. I’m glad it has display caseback tho as I previously had ROC 26331 and not having in-house and exhibition caseback was limit the experience a bit. Thanks so much. Yeah I myself didn’t know it’d go so well on my 6.5” wrist. Thanks so much. I don’t find it big and am very happy with the wearability. Yes; the green dial is just Quote:
Thank you so much for watching, and your kind comments. Quote:
Thanks so much. It’s a big compliment. I agree with you 100%. I personally prefer 3120 far more than Calibre 4302. The gold rotor is just and I don’t find it small from any stretch too. Quote:
Thanks so much. I completely agree with you. It’s a big watch and it’s meant to be big. I am loving how despite being big, it wear just great and the lugs don’t flare out even on my smal 6.5” wrist. Quote:
I’m not bothered about size of movement. I love it and find the size fine too. Don’t find any issues with finishing too. It’s far better than I’ve seen in many other watches too. Blue is beautiful indeed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Really nice vid, very lovingly made showing off all of AP's little and large glorious touches, if size is not a matter then I strongly encourage all AP fans to experience a 44, I think it is the best bang for your buck watch I have ever owned.
On you the size is fine, you obviously have flat wrists. |

It looks great on your wrist! I may need to pick up a 44mm.
Thanks for the excellent pics and video!

Looks made to measure on you ! Brilliant footage too in the video. Will re watch it again later when I have more time to let it soak in.
Unfortunately the 44s are too big for me with a similar size wrist - but it works great for you.

That actually looks really good for size on you. I have a 7 1/4 wrist and tried on a 44 and felt it looked too big

I didnt think I would be able to pull off a ROO 44, with the same size wrist, but now that might be the next watch!

Great fit, and unlike others, I like the backside just fine.
