Really liking this

Since I sold my 26401 I’ve been missing an AP in collection. Was able to play with this 42mm new “Brick”. Have to say I like it. Not sure when an AP will be back in the collection but this could be a high contender. IMG_2337.JPG

To be honest to you, I'll take the RG44 anytime over this.

You should go for something like a 15202

I love that light grey dial! Masculine but not too in your face. It's gorgeous.

Alex, I’m so blown away by AP! I’ve had my 15400 for a little over a month and it’s truly special. Can’t wait to hear what you do for your next piece!

I quite like these - the grey dial version is, IMHO, leaps and bounds nicer than any of the other ROO 42 offerings in gold

That having been said, I agree with Ben - i would still get the old version RG44 over this one

I agree, I’m still surprised that you sold your AP 44 as it looked so good on you.

I was able to try this version with the strap on in the NY boutique and have to say it is a stunner in person. But as others have mentioned, RG44 is supreme IMO.

And Alex started that epic thread that enabled dozens more. Ofc I too would get the 44 back if you are looking at AP RG.

If honest it looks quite bland and dull to me. Not one I'd buy for sure. But then I'll never buy a 42 whilst they have those 'stick' pushers - I much prefer the stylish and streamlined 44 ones.

These pics do not do the watch justice. It is a BEAUTY in person.

I still prefer the ROO Summer Edition at that price point.

Nope.
Go get yourself another 44mm pronto.
Go ceramic this time, you already got enough class with the Pateks.

Looks rather nice on the GP strap with red sides. I might have to look into one of those for mine!
