This model looks nice! Does the 42 wear similar to the 44? I called the boutique and they said they should start receiving them in September. I hope AP will release one similar in 44mm at SIHH. I like the ROO 44 Titanium. But I definitely love the red/black colors.

Great, Love seeing ceramic on the 42

Locust · 3 August 2018, 09:54 AM

I saw the new indigo blue one in Vegas. So new ones are popping up. Like this one too. Super sporty

Locust · 3 August 2018, 09:58 AM

Really dying to see actual picture of the all Grey titanium/ceramic. That thing looks Bad a**. Like the name ghost too that it got nicknamed.

TimeOnHand · 4 August 2018, 04:49 PM

Looks awesome!

rolexfanforlife · 4 August 2018, 08:12 PM

I like it!

AK797 · 4 August 2018, 08:55 PM

I hope we see some incomings soon, AP taking their sweet time.

1William · 4 August 2018, 09:09 PM

Good looking watch and I like the colors.

Trailboss516 · 4 August 2018, 09:21 PM

I may be the outlier but I prefer the previous generation design without the ceramic bezel

GB-man · 5 August 2018, 12:38 AM

Who cares by the time these are released we will be a month or two away from SIHH. Fail.

Agustin_Nielsen · 5 August 2018, 02:22 AM

I prefer the size over the 42mm, but the pushers look horrible IMO.

Koala · 6 August 2018, 04:37 AM

I def dig it, and agree with 42mm size preference but don't love the pushers

VICI · 6 August 2018, 11:02 AM

The issue is the shiny rubber strap..

Love it. Wish I had the wrist for it. ........and love that ceramic now arrives on a 42mm version

YoungMoneyAssassin · 7 August 2018, 10:24 AM

That’s a beautiful timepiece in my humble opinion.

eonflux · 7 August 2018, 03:41 PM

That's a great looking watch, and about time they brought ceramic bezels to the 42mm ROO chronos.

The 42 does wear noticeably smaller than a 44.

CoveWatch · 7 August 2018, 03:56 PM

I think it’s one of the better looking ROO’s!

AshAP · 7 August 2018, 06:25 PM

The finish on the ceramic appears to be different to the 44 ceramic in that it doesn’t look as though it’s a brushed finish.

The 42 offshore wears much smaller than the 44.

Some members that spoke to AP confirmed that final production models will have vertical brush lines like 44 models... I think ceramic Diver is the only 42mm AP with vertical brush treatment on ceramic bezel... all others have rainfall ceramic bezel...

That would be excellent news, it's probably a stretch to say that maybe one reason for their slight delay is that the forums called out the old style bezel at SIHH and maybe AP did a quick(ish) rethink.

The strap pics are disingenuous, looks like the usual rubber with nice red sides, but in reality it's shiny with a rough grimy texture.

yachty 1 · 7 August 2018, 10:12 PM

I love the new watches with the ceramic bezels. I went from a 44mm but liked the fit of the 42mm better but couldn't handle the scratches and went back to a 44mm. Know I am contemplating going back to the 42mm just felt they were more balanced

Trailboss516 · 7 August 2018, 10:41 PM

I like the shine of that strap - wish they made one with blue sides!

discountsintime · 7 August 2018, 11:54 PM

Sweet watch. Love this model

GoingPlaces · 8 August 2018, 12:01 AM

Generally not a fan of ceramic's but this is looking good. Love that strap.

avilhena · 8 August 2018, 01:10 AM

I love this model! Nice to see ceramic in the 42mm offshore

JayG · 8 August 2018, 04:50 AM

Like it, alot. Slightly more contemporary take on the roo

Nad · 8 August 2018, 05:09 AM

I found it very stealthy, notwithstanding the Red trim on the rubber strap.................

NicholasNJ · 8 August 2018, 05:37 AM

From my experience, the 42mm wears significantly smaller than the 44mm.
Even with my 7.25” inch wrists, the 44mm still looks humongous and it doesn’t sit right. The 42mm however fits like butter!

42 is the best chrono size imo!

Flybak · 10 August 2018, 07:31 AM

Definitely looks good from these pics, would like to see it in person. Also to see how the proportions of the 42mm ROO fit, the 44mm models look far too large on me.
