The Dualtime is probably the lesser popular model from the RO line.
Though I always liked the Dualtime dating back to 26120 on bracelet, I wasn't a fan of the tweaked designs of my watch when it first came out. I also thought the power reserve "Up & Down" was bit unfitting for the model.
I had the watch in my wishlist for months and kept looking at the watch. Within few months of just hovering over the watch, I began to like the layout and the "Up & Down" font. It was bit retro futuristic (kept thinking of fonts from movies such as Terminator or Blade runner).
When I located the watch within my price range, I drove right in. I also have the 26470 ROO and I'm also really enjoying the size difference. Since I'm in a suit 5 days a week, this watch will be my weekday watch, bumping ROO to the weekends.
Thank you for all your comments and TGIF.

Thank you
Had the watch for about 2 weeks so far and I'm pretty happy. I was looking for a smaller - 40mm watch and my choices were limited to the 15202 and the pictured Dualtime. Though a fan of 15202, I wanted a watch bit more sporty. Dualtime with sub-dials, I t...
Hi JoeP
The black strap works great. Is that an AP strap? I am considering the RO dual time, but I find the royal blue strap a little over the top for me. Regards, Ian
I ordered the watch with the black rubber strap
I shared your thoughts about the blue strap being over the top. To me black rubber is always the safest bet. ...
Beautiful...
...always been a fan of dual time watches and this is classic. The fact that it's not often seen makes it even better. Congratulations.
Same movement and functions as the previous model
Power reserve meter. Other functions are 2nd timezone with day & night indicator and date wheel.
The new dial gives this model a sportier look.
I used to own the previous generation of AP RO Dual Time. Here is a photo from my archive. ...
I like both versions.
Yours is the only one I've seen of the new dial. It's quite cool imo. Well done. M4
I was looking for the exact watch.
The blue dial 26120 is not easy to find in my opinion. Good looking watch.

"retro futuristic"... I totally agree!
And the new markings on the date wheel, I like these changes very much. All together, they are cohesive and very Terminator / Blade Runner! Great description there, thanks for these extra inputs.
