Congratulations! A few comments..
The pushers on a Safari are not plastic (nor on any other Offshore) but rubber. Also, the other variant of the new Offshore is not cased in titanium but rather stainless steel. The third version as you mention is RG.
The new Offshores have been a hit with most who have handled them. AP really has melded many features of other pieces into these new, standard collection offerings. My impression was it "looks" much larger on the wrist than other standard Offshores, despite being listed as only 2mm larger. Surely a great evolution of the Offshore.
ROO Carbon Chrono
Me & AP it seems have struggled to get along too well in the past!.I have tried but not quite hit the spot with them, until now. First off I got hold of a T3 ( white Face ), loved the look of the watch, but it was just too big after a while so sent it off...

Nice watch; I bet your Lange Datograph Perpetual is jealous...
Great watch! Congratulations! I love the Survivor, that's one of my favorite AP Royal Oak Offshores.
I have to agree with certain points...
...The swirl of the Alinghi indeed was somewhat annoying. The new ROO is a fantastic choice. Congrats and ENJOY!
Congratulations! Steel version with white dial is on my radar!
But the weigh of carbon case has the comfort I wouldn't want to give up! j
Congrats on your new ROO carbon chrono
Looks great and glad to hear that you found a AP ROO that fit's your criteria. Regards, ED-209
Thanks
hehe no the lange's not jealous, it knows it has to share wrist time, watches are like children, they have to learn to share! Yep the weight is spot on in carbon, a very nicely weighted watch indeed. Thanks for correcting me on my err on the titanium mode...
Wow!!!
we're going to see a flood of preowned ROOs on the market with everyone rushing to sell their old ROOs to fund the purchase of this new version. My only qualm with the 2011 ROO is that its so good that it essentially makes all pre 2011 ROOs obsolete. the ...
Quick wrist shot
Had a couple of questions on size on the wrist, find that topic all a bit subjective really, as it depends on your size. I am 6'5" with a 7.5" wrist, so for me 44mm watches are a good size, 36mm just totally lost on me, looks like a childs watch!. Anyway ...
Indeed...
I think this new model has indeed done for me what the AP ROO should of looked like long ago, if you want a 'sporty' watch. It has for want of a better expression 'sportied' up the watch to be in line with what they have produced in the F1 Grand prix line...
size comparison
Do you have another AP ROO? side by side pic would be great. Curious how this at 44mm compares to the 42mm Roo's
BIG
just tried this same watch on in the AP boutique at Taipei 101. It is BIG. The bezel is a full 2mm bigger the size isnt just from the bulked up pusher casing. I happened to be wearing my gshock frogman and its the exact same size. The carbon version also ...
