OK, I guess you get the half-assed photos after all!

Sorry guys.  Long day at work, came home and had dinner with my daughter.  I missed my chance for some decent shots in natural light.


No secret here, when I saw these new ROCs the green dial jumped at me.  I have come so close to other green watches over the past year... glad I waited for this AP.  It is very subdued,
you'll need to see it in person (I did not, so it is purchased sight unseen).  Most of the first day with this watch, it has appeared grey-green, aside from being viewed in sunlight.  





In sunlight, not completely direct.  About as green as it gets:




In artificial light, it looks very grey.  Here you can see it against a medium-dark grey cuff I had on.




Only day 1 so I am not going to get carried away, but I see this as a new office workhorse.  I have other thoughts already beyond the dial color that I am very pleased about, and will share those too.  Better pictures to come, probably when other members who know how to take pictures get theirs smile

But I don't want to post a half-assed photo of this dial. It is too special for that. I'll try and add one later. ...  

looks promising!

Glad you could secure one of these beauties! You deserve it!

Me too! I didn't know they were going to be delivered so soon!

I'm glad AP is making the most while the sun is shining! Things weren't always this good for the Swiss Watch Industry!

Dear god!

This watch and dial are really something.

Thanks Boss

Looking forward to getting more acquainted with it.

Big congratulations 🎊

This ST version and I’m guessing the Green dial is one of the most desirable piece.

The green dial might only be produced this year

 
 By: MichaelC : February 28th, 2022-14:18
I think it will be wildly popular and continue on, but I have heard otherwise already.

I’m waiting!!!!!

I would never want to keep the doc waiting!

No fooling you Ed!

Very much looking forward to your added thoughts once you’ve had more time with it. Wear it in best of health.

Thanks again my friend.

What a beauty it is!

 
 By: fmc000 : February 26th, 2022-08:01
Amazing, just amazing. Huge congrats.

I wore it over the weekend, the dial is so cool. Ever changing too.

It will never get boring, not that any AP does, IMO.

Super congrats!!

Definitely one of the big highlights of the 50th anniversary collection. I understand it's the first time a stainless model is paired with a green dial! Adding the 50th rotor on top makes it even more special. Please enjoy and take many many many photos H... 

I agree with you.

 
 By: MichaelC : February 28th, 2022-14:23
And I happen to love the rotor. I know others do not, the good news for those fans is they can wait until next year for the standard one. I love the 50 and hope to add one more

This is absolutely one of my favourites from the 50’s

You can never go wrong with green and the whole look of this piece is sublime! Absolutely a stunner! Wear it in good health mate, holy hels its a beauty!

Before seeing it, I thought "green" might be limiting.

 
 By: MichaelC : February 28th, 2022-14:24
This is not green like other brands offer, and I of all people should have expected that before it arrived.

Beautiful watch!

AP nailed the dial.

A beauty beast
