I love AP RO, ROO a bit less.
To me, the pushers are somewhat incompatible with the case, almost forcefully contrived. The beast had it right, this is an overkill, but maybe it's just me...
All good with this one.
I wonder if this version becomes the standard 42mm Offshore? It has a lot of pluses. M4
I tried this
on at AP House in HK on Monday when previewing the new Code and other releases. It is titanium so very light and I'm a fan of the square pushers but less so of the date window (hence having bought the ROO 44mm ceramic last year with the date at 3pm where ...
Makes you think..
To me it seems like this oddly placed reference is a way for AP to get rid of a surplus they have of the F Piguet movements before they start using the caliber 4401 across the Royal Oak and Royal Oak Offshore lines in the coming years. Just not a good loo...
hmm..Thats one way to luk at it but why do they need to get rid of that Calibre when they are using it in ROC which is a sucessful piece. Unless they can find a way to fit the Cal 4400...
at 32mm/6.8mm into ROC replacing the thinner FP at 26/5.4mm it doesn't seem to going away yet. It fills in the gap IMO - sort of half-bred of dressy thin 41/11mm and sporty thick 44/14.4mm ROO. Now if it is a Hybrid or not we shall see ...
thickness
My biggest roo complaint was thickness, this is under 13mm, almost as thin as my daytona. I could wear this.
I love it. Likely my next AP.
It has been a little while for me, this new model ticks many boxes.
I agree with you a hundred fold!
I have never warmed up to the 41mm ROCs. Even if I had, this new Royal Oak Offshore stimulates me a good bit more. I very much hope to add one.
