Totally unexpected catch 😊

I have always loved AP and have owned a couple of ROOs Chrono in the past, but ended up selling both due to wearability issues. Although I love the watch, I simply accepted that it's not for me.

It was in a time when I was really a sort of 1 watch man, and definitely the ROO wasn't a one and only watch for me.

I had in my plans to add an AP to the stable one day, but was thinking more in a 39mm RO, such as the 15202 or maybe a ROC.

And a few days ago, in a sunny and relatively warm day, I started thinking about what to wear next summer during my holidays (you know what I mean, watch nerds' thoughts 😉).

Last summer I really enjoyed my Patek 5164A, taking her out to the pool and the beach, and also interacting with its travel time function, which is always a pleasure.

But the 5164 has become my favorite everyday watch, comfortable and versatile, perfect for my daily lifestyle. So I thought I might need something different for swimming and resting under the sun (hopefully).

I have other watches, but none ticks all the boxes. So I started having a look at the options. Not many to be honest considering my personal requirements and constraints, so the ROO came again to my mind.

After some online search, I found that I dealer friend had a few ROOs Chrono in stock, so I decided to pay him a visit with not many expectations. After trying on the different options available, I wasn't convinced at all.

But then my friend suggested me to try the Diver, which never really sang to me. And you know what? I found my new summer watch! 😊
