re: AP ROO DIVER
I have small wrist and it fit very well. On my ROO rubberclad, I use a short strap and the ROO Diver was with a regular length. With the acupressure wristband provided by the thoughtful AP staff for anti-seasickness, I used the 2nd hole and it was a snug fit.
Did you ever try a short strap? I never knew I could wear a Offshore chrono until about 3 years ago at a PuristS gtg and someone who had a short strap with the same size wrist let me try it on, it opened a whole world up for me!

p@triceYou got to see it?
Hello Patrice! Cool you got to see the l'Hydroptere, it's amazing isn't it? The 'Magic Carpet' is an engineering marvel! Too bad we didn't meet up in the South of France, next time for sure my friend! -MW
Thanks PP!
It was a fun event and well done by AP. The l'Hydroptere is a engineering wonder, we didn't get enough wind to get the ship 3 meters high so maybe when it comes out to L.A. for the next record breaking attempt we'll have the opportunity. -MW
Fantastic post!
The ROO diver looks great! Love the shot that you took with the diver.
re: Fantastic post!
