New look! I bet you’ve never seen this!
I hope you guys are having a great start of your week. I stopped by AP today and decided to give a new look to my AP RO Chrono.

Rubber doesn't go well with the frosted piece IMO. It is much better with the regular ROC.

I like it!
Though I much prefer the tang buckle to the deployant. Event though they say the tang does not work for wise. |

+1 . That frosted ROC is amazing and worthy of its gorgeous bracelet. But, with that, wear that piece in health whichever way you like it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Needs polished plots. Brushed finish seems out of place on that piece

Not my cup of tea. Agree it should be placed on a frosted bracelet. Just too ostentatious for my taste.

The RO was designed with an integrated bracelet, with Genta’s background in jewelry design he was designing a bracelet as much as a watch with the RO.
Sorry, that rubber strap is just all kinds of wrong on that RO. Especially a frosted one!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

While I keep mine on a bracelet, I actually like steel or RG RO/ROCs on rubber straps. Not so sure about the frosted one - looks like something with it's legs chopped off. But easily fixed if you get tired of it, so all good

Did you get the sense that the conversion could be done easily at home? I've been thinking about getting the kit but, even putting aside the $1500 price tag, I worry that changing between the strap and bracelet at home would be too difficult.

It's really easy don't worry about that. The only thing is you must have a steady hand and not rip the screwdriver on the case...

Sorry, not a fan of ROs on rubber. The bracelet is a big part of the appeal of the watch.
And to me, the rubber doesn’t look right with the frosted gold. |

I like it! It's different and you can always switch back to the frosted bracelet anytime for a completely different look and wear.

I really like this,
Great contrast between the case and rubber.

Frosted gold looks a lot better on bracelet than rubber strap.
Bracelet makes the watch!
