Incoming... something blue

So I’ve been through a few APs, namely the ROO black themes, the ROO navy (2014 version) and a 15400 white.

I only have the black themes left but this new purchase might make me sell it and just have this one as my one and only:

Very nice choice. I love the way the lower central chrono dial is smaller than the left and right ones. In principle it should look odd and unbalanced, but it doesn't.

thank you everyone. it's been an exciting week.

after owning this watch for the past 3 days, i feel entitled to give a little mid week review.

the dial is gorgeous. the blue changes shade in different lighting but always retains that vibrancy.

although the case is thinner than the ROO, it feels bigger and chunkier because of the bracelet (my ROO was always on a rubber strap). the bracelet is very 'stiff' compared to my rolex oyster and my nautilus. it's like chain mail armour!

but all these are small quibbles to me. i love the new dial and contrasting sub dial design.

Beautiful watch, congrats! If I had to nitpick, wish that date window was centered between the hour markers. Otherwise, really nice piece.

Beautiful watch! Never been into chronos but I'm thinking that could be my next watch! The bracelet on my 15400 Seemed to become more comfortable after a few days of wearing it. The bracelet is a work of art and even after 6 months I find myself staring at it and the way the light bounces of it is amazing! (My wife just thinks I'm weird when she catches me staring at it!)

Yes when it first came out that design feature annoyed me and I started to look for the older version of it. But the silver sub dials really improve on the older completely blue dial design so I decided to get this newer one instead.
