I like the chronos
By: shafran : July 14th, 2021-18:14
I like everything except the time only.
Why do you
By: GLau : July 17th, 2021-16:48
not like the time only ? Too plain ?
Not good I'm afraid
By: sschew : July 14th, 2021-18:20
Didn't know Daniel Wellington or Police watches cost so much. Sorry for me no bueno!!!
Not impressed (with the design)
By: rgabrielsoto : July 14th, 2021-18:38
The build quality, technical nature of the watch, and the movement are all impeccable but IMHO the "less is more" design strategy here has missed the mark.
Good question
By: rgabrielsoto : July 24th, 2021-16:26
And to be fair, design a new dial is HARD so maybe I’m being a bit too hard.
It's neither fish nor flesh
By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : July 14th, 2021-21:29
It's a sort of hybrid watch. It can't definitely be seen as a dress watch mostly because it's too thick, the chrono feature provides more unbalance to the dial, because of the counters and hands. And please, remove the date.
Getting better
By: AlexLau.ar : July 15th, 2021-05:27
There are only a handful of RO collectors I know that has bought the Code and liked it, and not because they needed to get some credit. They are getting better, but I would like to see sword hands/ something with a bit more presence, and I am not a fan of...
Which do you
By: GLau : July 17th, 2021-17:11
not like about the dials ? color scheme, design or the combination ?
I think photos don't do justice...
By: pfang56 : July 15th, 2021-08:59
I may be biased but after seeing the blue dial and ceramic in the flesh, I must say that the dials, case, crystal, and new movement, the CODE Chronographs definitely hold a soft spot in my heart. If you see below - there seems to be a nice fit of the CODE...
Demand is definitely increasing.
By: shafran : July 15th, 2021-09:18
To say that Ro owners are not pining for the code is possibly true, but the goal of ap was not to get ap owners interested, it was to get people interested in ap who don't necessarily love the ro/roo. It was to bring in a new breed of ap lovers. I do actu...
Great point…
By: pfang56 : July 15th, 2021-09:37
I think for some RO collectors like me, it was a good brand extension that fed my appetite for the brand. I’m also glad to see de novo collectors joining in as well - I bet the new members are even more passionate than the old, like me Look forward to see...
Waiting for your “third gen” version :)
By: pfang56 : July 18th, 2021-07:35
But who knows if there will be new dials or movements between now and then. I’m super happy with my blue aventurine dial so probably better to diversify into other colors… Cheers Peter
I went with 2nd gen
By: shafran : July 18th, 2021-11:24
It has a two tone sandwich case. Great watch for the summer and when i go down to Florida. ...
Thanks…
By: pfang56 : July 18th, 2021-07:47
Perhaps first time seeing it online when it was released, I was not totally bought into the concept, but after experiencing it first hand on the wrist, and also vis-a-vis other AP models and “sporty dress” models of other brands I realized it fits extreme...
Had a Look at the 1st Gen a Long while ago.
By: nafetS : July 15th, 2021-10:48
Liked the case a lot, even though it's too large for me (and judging from the pictures it seems to be too large for your wrist as well). The whole dial - index - hands configuration seemed to be very generic to me, though. Not much character there. Also n...
?
By: PalmSprings : July 15th, 2021-18:52
Do they really say it's 3 generations in 2 years time?
yes, I was told that
By: GLau : July 17th, 2021-17:20
the ceramic middle case represents the third generation. What is your understanding ?
...
By: PalmSprings : July 18th, 2021-09:39
I'm amazed how fast they are moving and progressing in their case design and overall development.
Nice write up!
By: Conkers : July 21st, 2021-12:04
A fair an objective assessment. Thanks for taking the time to post G.
Not yet!

Letter of Recommendation for you that begs for a discount !😉
I love mine and prefer the time only
By: hub6152 : July 30th, 2021-01:16
as I felt the Chronograph model of the burgundy dial I bought had just too much going on for the smoked effect of the dial to fully play itself, and it was the that smoked burgundy colour that pulled me towards the Code in the first place. ...
