Wow congrats mate! The condition of the watch is fantastic! I can't even tell if it has been polished before!

Seller send me a video of the watch before I bought. Loved the way the light bounces off it.

Congrats, it looks in amazing condition. Enjoy it and don't forget that you can give it a whole new personality by swapping straps.

Also a little secrete with the older folding clasps on these if you reverse it they fit way more comfortably on the wrist. Enjoy !

Congrats! The hornback strap is awesome, this was my first AP, such an amazing watch. Would look great on a rubber strap too.

Congrats, the brown hornback with the cream dial makes this a very classy ROO.

New or used, it's always a great feeling getting a new watch on the wrist. Enjoy.

Even though the ROO's are not elegant watches in the pure sense of the word, in my book the old Safari is the most elegant and classic in its class.

Thanks folks.
Not been off my wrist since it arrived apart from, of course, sleeping and showering. The weight distribution of the watch is excellent for its size. |

Some folks say the horn back strap isn’t comfortable but I’m not convinced and found mine very comfortable and, as you rightly say Syd, very well balanced too. Enjoy. |

One of the best royal oak AP's I have seen! Strap looks so good and miles above that rubber baloney you see on other APs.
