Would you consider a AP ROO Diver to be a nice daily wearer in a non-buisness attire,mostly outdoor environment setting.Or are they considered to be a "drinks by the pool/beach weekend"only type of watch?
I know this is somewhat subjective but I would like to hear your thoughts.
I think an ROO is fine for the noted activities for, IMO, once one gets less dressy than business dress any watch one wears is perfectly fine to wear for that occasion. In such situations, it's a matter of what one feels comfortable wearing, not whether that watch is appropriate to the situation.
Well said Sir! As for the durability I do believe it will eventually acquire that lived in look which is fine with me.I read a review somewere from an owner that stated the bezel top of ROO being brushed stainless doesn't show marks that bad but on the polished sides of the bezel its another story.
I think one should feel free to wear their 20k watch whenever and wherever they please and this includes the ROO... That said, I might make different choices at this price point...
I hear you about the height.Thats why I'm torn between this and the VC OSC. AP ROO-60hr. PR and crystal case back.VC-thinner and a little more versatile i feel. Both are stunning in appearance to me. Maybe the overhauled 16' VC OSC will sway me in that direction.Anyway,I don't plan on purchasing until April.By then I hope to have had a chance to try them both.
I've worn my Diver daily for the past couple of years.
Can't see why it couldn't be a daily wear watch, after all if you're going to spend that kind of money you might as well make the most of it
That said, when I'm more smartly dressed I prefer to wear a 39mm ROC, as it's more discreet, and fits under the cuff nicely as it's signifcantly thinner.
I don't see why not. I'm looking to rotate between a PAM and eventually an AP ROO when I pick it up. I agree that it's very versatile and should be fine as a daily. I feel that it'll be a better daily than a PAM since the PAM is polished and scratches easily.
Till today, I rotate between two ROO, a Rollie SD and a 5714g. All have character marks. The Patek got its love scar 3 days after I got it while a family member trying to help change my sons diaper. What can you say. .... happens. Wear the watch don't let it wear you.
I have it and it works fine, probably the most versatile watch among APs, including the 15200. Solid and works great on the wrist, as long as your wrists are above average.
By AP Diver I'm assuming you meant the stainless steel version.
I have the stainless steel and the Forged Carbon version and I find myself wearing the Forged Carbon for casual, and the stainless steel one for business or casual business attire.
I'm not sure when this happened... but I now think that all stainless steel (I mean the case and bezel) = serious.
My only issues is the crown guard keep hurting my wrist bone in the first few weeks
