Arrived today - ROO 26420IO
This is a familiar colour-way in 44mm for many years. And for some reasons, I never pulled the trigger until today.
Admittedly, this is my first AP ROO as I have always preferred the smaller sized Royal Oaks and also, I was holding out for the integrated Chronograph movement to be available on the Offshores.
Here it is and thanks for looking.
And look at the Rotor !!!
The polished grey ceramics result in layers on the bezel.

Great looking watch!
Congratulations. If I were to get an ROO it would definitely be one with a ceramic bezel. All the best Jon
Looks awesome 👏🏼
I have the 44mm in this color way and wonder whether i’d prefer the 43mm if i had to make choice. I particularly like mine on the deep blue strap that matches the subdials.

Thanks Myles721.

Yes…it’s my only beef with Hublot
The cases always look like plastic because there is no texturing at all.
How do you like the feel of this 43mm?
I have worn Offshores 20 years, and find myself wonderfully impressed!
Thanks Michael. I am smitten!
Very impressed indeed with this generation of ROO; wear yours in good health… the fume brown is stunning.
That is exactly how it should be on your first Offshore!!
And 2nd, and 3rd... ;-) The colors on your model are very much my taste. Enjoy this one and feel free to post it frequently!
