Not bad at all.

Definition through contrast.
It took me a while to appreciate the RO. Now that I am a convert, it may take me sometime to come around to the non-monochromatic dial. Do you think it shrinks or enlarges the look?
Can't really say. Just pretty perfect for me.
However, the movement is (not yet) an in-house one and it it would be, I would acquire this watch. Best, Kari
The power of the consumer
With all your sad experiences with the brand, why would you decide to give your power to the same house? Isn't it maybe a bit to early to forgive and forget? No doubt it is a nice watch, yet could similarities to your two existing AP of your collection le...
I like my RO QP a lot
and it works like an angel after the "heart transfer". But I am still waiting to get a functioning 15202 and it's naturally a bit frustrating taking into account that I bought mine 2 years and 3 weeks ago. Anyhow, I should get a new one in about a month a...
Beauty makes a man a glutton for punishment
At least, this is true for me of romance, perhaps watches as well. I have loved deeply and truly...but not always wisely! I hope this will change in my future! I hope you enjoy the RO chrono and that your 15202 issues are swiftly resolved!
Not really fair to the dealers imo
What really is strange is when these boutique first pieces show up through non AD channels before the dealers.
The silver is hard to read
and between black and blue I would choose blue. But the platinum bezel version was also quite nice. Best, Kari
That one appears very sharp in photos
As you added below, the bezel will likely be prone to scratches. Or at least, they might be more noticeable than we are used to as it is all polished. Still, quite an impressive look.
Thank you for sharing
Kari, would you say the platinum version roc is a great buy? I like how the watch looked in the photos and the brush and polished finish of the plat and ti really sings to me, i just hope it came with the in house movement ap has been developing.
My photo was a steel version and
the bezel of the platinum one is shiny - not brushed. I liked the looks of the watch but I am sure it is antealnscratch magnet taking into account the characteristics of platinum. Best Kari
I see
Thanks for the reply; i for one was hoping they make another RO QP openwork soon. Cheers.
There will come some
very nice, strictly limited RO in titanium + platinum. In this collection I saw at least one open worked dial. But Indo not think AP has published these models yet... Best Kari
