You're also spot on with the forearm size... here's my before and after getting my PT 44.

If they deduct the $10k the strap is worth, that'd help too!

Lol! And that man will have the largest difference in forearm sizes than any other man on the planet

Nice review but this watch is unwearable. The release buttons on the bracelet will cut into the wrist and be extremely uncomfortable.

What was AP thinking when they decided to make a 1lb watch??

And what's the point of wearing it on a strap and paying that kind of money to have the platinum bracelet sit in a safe??

Well, they wanted to give the wearer the option to tone it down with the strap in case they can't life heavy weights.

While it is very heavy you get used to the weight. The gold pounder is relatively close to the platinum one in weight and a couple friends that own it wear them as their daily wearers.

Heavier than your Tryptique? Maybe a little but not so much I would think

how cool is that, gives the time and builds up your muscles

Saw this piece at Harrods today. Was not brave enough to try it on however.

watchucallit · 5 July 2017, 07:59 AM

Great review.. Too bad the price is not too great.. or rather it is great .. as in high... :)
Maybe heavy enough to provide daily weight lifting.
Nonetheless--- beautiful piece

sechsgang · 5 July 2017, 08:11 AM

So I tried this watch on at the NYC boutique and its AMAZING. The weight is almost hilarious, but I kind of liked it. It's likely the best on the strap...but the dial is one of my favorite dials I've ever seen in on a watch. I could see someone going to one watch with this honestly, well maybe that and a dress watch. The fact that there are only 50 and this is such a unique piece (though not due to any movement or anything) would make that kind of interesting.

tng11 · 12 July 2017, 12:29 AM

Tried it at the Hong Kong boutique:

The dial is really stunning in the flesh. It is comically heavy - but a good way to get some weightlifting in!

JJ WA · 12 July 2017, 10:58 AM

As great as it looks, I simply can't imagine wearing something this heavy. I still think the Elephant is the nicest ROO in the current 42mm collection.

conkers · 29 July 2017, 04:49 PM

I spent some more time with this piece today and had it sized correctly so I could really determine whether the weight on bracelet is too much.

And the rest as they say is history.........

conkers · 29 July 2017, 06:34 PM

That dial.........

Thanks Ken. Highly tempted now. Definitely changed my mind on its wearability!

conkers · 29 July 2017, 08:27 PM

50 per cent heavier than the Triptyque Arnaud.

Hal you are a bad influence!

I don't notice the platinum 44 on my wrist, I think you get used to it.

100% spot on, Ash.

Roger, you HAVE to get this!

conkers · 29 July 2017, 10:47 PM

It is a whole different ball game from the platinum novelty and a lot heavier even than my platinum tourbillon chrono 44mm.........

Congrats Roger. Though this is one AP watch I will never put on for obvious reasons.

brmeyers · 30 July 2017, 03:56 AM

Wow, that is my favorite looking AP ROO 42.

Very nice, way too heavy for my tastes but on a strap I would tolerate it!!

Roger, I secretly hope you get it so we can all live vicariously

Submarino · 4 August 2017, 09:42 AM

Told you guys it was incredible!!! Keep those wrist shots coming.

Manofsteelpt · 4 August 2017, 10:10 AM

Pic courtesy of MasterSerg... he texted me this a cpl weeks ago. I was working at the time, and, from quick glance, I thought it was a Safari!

He texts me back: Mike, look again!!!! Then, I almost fell over, lol.
