Can you share your thoughts of the ROC vs your VC Overseas?

I know, chrono vs time-date, but still both are luxury steel sports watches with their own distinctive identities.
How was the feeling on the wrist? Quality impression? Things you adore or miss on one or the other?

Thanks,

New ROC 38mm models

By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : September 8th, 2019-15:08

Had the chance to try them on Although from the pics I was more interested in the grey dial I found the white/blue looking more attractive However I also think the 38mm was a tad small on my wrist And now I can comfortably say that the 39mm is THE sweet s...

How's the clasp?

Mohannad, Thanks for the photos. You know I share your preference for the 39 mm ROC, but I wonder if the 38 mm has the improved double-sided clasp used in the 41 mm ROC. The AP website doesn't have photos of the clasp. Park

Hey park

Yes it has the double sided clasp

Wow lucky you to have seen and tried both!

Those definitely wear small, if you are interested you have to try them in person.

I do like this AP a lot 👌🏻

I tried on the blue Panda last week.

Very surprising and nice

By: colton_d : September 9th, 2019-05:26

I had not seriously considered the ROC prior to the introduction of the 38mm models, and seeing these on your wrist adds fuel to the fire. The panda is quite fetching, and I hope to have the chance to try one on soon - although that could be dangerous. Th...

you should definetly give them a try

By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : September 12th, 2019-02:52

if you get a chance try them on your wrist

I m indifferent to from 38-41mm. The proportions look just right in all these models. You didnt get to try the grey ceramic offshore yet? [nt]

By: redcorals : September 9th, 2019-06:20

the 38 is a bit too small (i have a small or this wrist)

By: Mohannad (aka Riddler) : September 12th, 2019-02:53

unfortunately the grey ceramic wasn't available
