Here you go. Fits like a glove and no wobbles from the top heavy design as it is clamped well to my wrist. Not quite the perfect fit of an RM but this is pretty good given the size and my modest 7.25 wrist.

Congrats Roger, looks great!

conkers · 16 July 2017, 06:12 PM

Thanks Karl! Needs the flash to pop a little more in poor lighting.

P2725TMB · 16 July 2017, 07:42 PM

Many thanks for the deployant pics - it does look very nice indeed and I think a smarter solution than the tang buckle.

Hamish · 16 July 2017, 08:13 PM

Roger....you got me.
I thought you would choose platinum for sure never did I think.....why not both!
You are and always will be the king of incomings.
How is your GF? Are you happy with it?
Congrats on your new AP's!

Congrats Roger, amazing as always..

conkers · 17 July 2017, 12:44 AM

Thanks everyone. Will post more pics in due course.

GF in for service. Will report back in due course! Lots of pieces due back from service in the coming weeks. Hope all well! May be down your way 23-29 August. Be good to catch up if diaries permit.

Hamish · 18 July 2017, 10:09 PM

I look forward to catching up!

Wait how come it has a deployment clasp? Did AP go back to that? Or you got an older one somehow?

Only soldiers go on deployment.

It's not like the old 18mm deployant (used on the original Roo Chronos.)
It looks like the 24mm (Diver) or 20mm (2014 Roo) Tang buckle on the outside.
I believe it's 20mm.
AP has been using this style deployants on all their high end pieces, for several years. It indeed comes on brand new APs bought today (if you buy the "right" model.) Several other models have, and do, come with it too.

Exactamundo.

The deployant is a really nice design and is a very snug fit. Sometimes they don't wrap the wrist perfectly but this one is great for me. Will take photos of the RG when I get round to unwrapping but just heard one of my Triptyque is back from service so that may get some wrist tone first!

I have seen ROs with them, but I haven't seen a new offshore with deployant. So does this new one still dig into your wrist like the old ones?

Pictures of the RG one would be great. Apparently my 44RG is coming this friday to my AD finally. I'd be interested to see how the deployant looks in gold. I much rather prefer it (even though AP can't make it as good in the way hublot does)

conkers · 19 July 2017, 08:51 AM

It doesn't dig in thus far. Very comfy and clamps the watch to the wrist well which is important given the weight.

conkers · 21 July 2017, 11:06 AM

Rose Gold with ceramic unwrapped!

AshAP · 21 July 2017, 02:29 PM

Stunning Roger, do you know the reason for the cut out areas on the case top of the rose gold model that don't appear the platinum model?

I don't know why they put them on the RG but they were stopped for the PT following feedback that they were terrible dirt traps!

Golf&Watches · 21 July 2017, 11:02 PM

Wow! Stunning watches. Do you have a photograph of your entire collection? Cheers, G&W

Dirt traps! Naively I would have expected people who own these to keep them in pristine condition but maybe a platinum tourbillon is the watch of choice when you wake up on a Sunday morning and decide to go and tinker under the bonnet of your vintage Ferrari.

Looks amazing Roger - the ceramic bez was definitely the best way to go with that piece.
