Incoming Taupe ROO

Ever since I saw the smoked taupe dial with the ceramic bezel I just knew I had to get it.

After a bit of patience and flirting with the idea of going grey, I finally got the call last week that I have one with my name on it at AP House London.

So today, my wife and I, on our 8th wedding anniversary took a short trip to London and purchased the ROO. Couldn't ask for a better anniversary present to myself haha.

I am absolutely in love and pictures do not do it justice!

Many thanks to Sandra, Vanessa, Andre and the reception staff for their hospitality.

Looks amazing. Love it.
Picked up a 43 earlier this month, it wears so well. I thought my diver was my favorite until I got this, put my diver on yesterday for the first time since getting the 43 and it feels so odd compared. Even though the 43 is bigger its so much more comfortable the way it sits on the wrist.

Congrats! I picked one up internationally a few months back and love it. The ceramic bezel and pushers are fantastic.

Congrats! Acquired mine from the Dallas boutique two months ago. Went in thinking grey dial but fell in love with the smoked taupe the minute I tried it on. The dial has to be seen in natural light to fully appreciate it. Wear it in good health!

Congrats, mine says hi!

Such a great watch and so easy to wear for a bigger caliber.

Buddy of mine has a SD43 (which is similar in measurements) and it wears like a hockey puck compared to the ROO

Congrats on an amazing ROO!!! Once one tries it on, they are instantly captivated by one of the most invigorating chronographs designs with such a unique color palette IMHO! I received mine back in March from the ‘Bahston’ AP Boutique. Congrats again and enjoy it!
