Pride of italy
Any opinions about this model?
Thinking of taking the plunge since I'm in the market for a blue rubber sport watch (although the offering I'm targeting comes with a bracelet). I like the watch due to only being 11 mm thick. The offshores don't wear well on my wrists. Any encouraging words or cautious tales to share? I'm not buying from AP so some skepticism.

I like the watch a lot. Great classic looking dial. Good colors.
I wouldn't bother paying the premium for the bracelet if you plan to wear it on rubber though

Do I have any alternatives if I'm looking for a thinner RO to wear on rubber? Seems like they are all offshores

The PoI is nice. You can also add a rubber strap to a new Dual Time (the pic is not mine).

Nice watch!!
If it's not scratch or don't have dents it's ok! If you don't trust seller then it's better to check the watch to AD! |

Yes thank you. ADs can't find them so will need to bring one in for authentication. Are they agreeable to that since I'm not buying from them? The warranty card is not in my.name which also concerns me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The ROC is awesome and you are doing it right by getting it with a bracelet. The rubber is great for the summer months but IMO, a lot of the Royal Oak's charm is due to the bracelet and how it is finished!

Unfortunelty wach the one I targeted sold. I bought one that was 3k cheaper but preowned (on a rubber strap). The dealer will help me locate a bracelet for the winter months. Summer will be the season of rubber. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
