Review AP ROO 44 RG

I hate it and have sold it..















I've had the watch for a couple weeks points:
- nothing feels like this on the wrist, NOTHING! How they managed to make such an imposing watch so comfortable is nothing short of incredible. It's more comfortable that my DSSD on bracelet.
-Watch is dead on accurate, +/-1 sec, matched only by my DD
-Design is work of art, the bevels, shapes, edges, and finishing are perfect, the tang buckle is satisfying to lock into place and the etched AP logo is a wink to remind this subtle, yet classy tasteful excess.
-Dial is legible and stays true to the classic.


Anyone of these things could be said about many watches, any combination could be said about fewer, and to have all in one watch is truly to be experienced. The one intangible, is the history of AP and knowing the care they take of their customers (as many here attest to, and I'm sure if I ever need it, i won't have a worry).

This is my favorite watch in the collection.

Obviously I agree with all your points Johnny! Just wish they made a 42 version so more AP fans could enjoy this incredible piece.

Stunning watch - congrats. I had the SS version. Too big for me but a super watch nonetheless. A shame all RO and ROOs didn't have the ceramic bezel.

Wear in good health!

Agreed! I am one of those who would jump on this (or any 44) if they made it in 42mm.

OP: great review, thanks for sharing your enthusiasm!
