You’re correct, this beautifully unique dial is always more accurately regarded as silvery white.
Wrist shots can be deceiving, especially close up, because it can make many pieces seem larger on the wrist than in reality. That’s why I liked your ‘distance shots’ such as the Code pic because it gave a more realistic impression, IMHO. That being said, the Code looked like a good size on you, whereas this ROC seems to be on the larger side for your wrist/hand. But they’re both 41mm, no? It may be because the watch is being worn too far down your wrist and so the pic is misleading, especially if you thought it was fine in person. Let’s see how others will comment on this.
Overall, the AP silver/white is one of the best executed dials in the business.👌🏽

Thoughts on the white ROC 41mm? (The cover pic is wrong, from CODE Starwheel).
Got to try on at AD, and I have to say. I liked it a lot more in person than I expected. Although in pics it reads as white, the dial is more of a silver in person. Not 50th… Does it read too big on my wrist? I didn’t notice it in person, but in pics was ...

Agreed!
Yes they are both 41mm. I have no problem with wearing the Diver, and it’s a 42mm. When you put the Starwheel photo right next to the ROC, in some ways the Starwheel reads as bigger. I think that you are right, it’s probably the focal length of the photos...
Nothing too much more to add except that…
if you look at APs older white dial watches (e.g. 15300), you will see that they are a ‘flat’ or basic white, whereas their update to the white dial is the unique silvery white that you see today. It is truly special amongst all other white dial pieces. ...
I love the metallic vibes
That being said it does look a bit large on some of your pics, almost panerai-esque. I would suggest trying other sizes if such a thing is possible at least to compare.
I think you manage it OK.
Tough to tell with the sweater. I have forever been enamored with 39mm APs, but have come to very much enjoy wearing 41mm. The extra dial real estate is appreciated on a chronograph, and for me the case fits fine (I have a rather flat top wrist, which is ...
Thanks!
That makes sense. The bracelet wraps the wrist, so it looks bigger, but I do love the bracelet.
