Still waiting for the call..........

Not sure why but seems like either I am the sucker not getting the call or the taupe is still quite highly sought after from the boutique

It was not a demo.

I keep thinking about how out of this world it would look if they took the smoked blue-dial dial from the 26730TI.OO.1320TI.04 and put it in the taupe 43 ROO. Make the case titanium, but keep everything else the same.

The Taupe is beautiful IMO. Also it’s trading well below list (at least in Asia) US$38-40k. This is also negotiable as they aren’t trading well here at all.


Here is an example

Check out 'Mint Oct 2021 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore 26420SO Smoked Dial Dial 26420', available at S$54,500 on #Carousell https://carousell.app.link/YAnwopVWoAb

If you have a trusted friend here, have them get it for you.

Good luck

That would indeed be so impressive it would break the internet.
There really are so many more options for the ROO 43 with just basic dial changes installed on either their steel or titanium body. Fingers still crossed for some new ROO releases this year at some point.

Some help to decide :: Which ROO 43mm?

Just picked up the rg this week. Loving it!
My friend has the taupe and it’s nice too

I recently got the black dial as I think it’s got a perfect sporty/Motorsport feel with the red accents. I’m also going to order the red rubber strap too for a pop of color which matches the dial accents perfectly (as shown above with the gold version).

I actually tried on the smoke dial as an exhibition model, and thought it was great. However, end of day, I thought the black was more special. It’s actually more multiple hues of dark grey/silver in different lighting and has a ton of depth. AP and their tapisserie dials really are impossible to capture in standstill photographs.

I’ve tried on all three and taupe is the number one. I bought the grey as that was offered and I liked it -a bird in the hand. Annoyingly I was offered the taupe by an AD but had already bought the grey at the boutique so declined.

I would have refused the black.

Taupe all the way for me. Picture last fall with the beige calfskin strap. Yes, I wear it with suits and with shorts. This ROO is really versatile.
