Physher007 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Seeing as I am posting it here, I would imagine you like them quite a bit. I ask because I just sold my SS HBB with RG Bezel. I always got a lot of compliments on it, but I felt it was just too much. I am currently wearing a vintagized 6536 for a comparison. I am thinking about an AP, what do you think? Will I find it too flashy?
jeff g Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 IMO the RO is far from flashy. Iconic, classy, and classic. The ROO series however can be viewed as LARGE, as well as flashy. Look at the sport and celebrity figures wearing the ROO series, and you will see what I mean. I am currently wearing the AP Diver. Although classified as a ROO, it is a classic look, more similar to a RO, rather than a ROO. THe RO, designed by Gerald Genta, will always be considered a true s/s classic. The current AP diver carries on that tradition.
Watchmeister Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 The AP ROO is large. It is 44mm with 15-17mm of height. I do think it is about as classic (and elegant) as one gets for a large SS sports watch though. It will wear as big if not bigger than your HBB. If you are happier with the size of a 6536 I would echo the sentiment of picking a traditoinal RO Jumbo.
Physher007 Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Posted September 24, 2011 Thanks, I'll have to check out the RO. I live my 6356 but I love my fiddy as well, I'm ok with big watches but the 1950 is understated - HBB's rose gold bezel was what did it I think, maybe just the pure thickness of the 7750 Well now that every character on Entourage wears a ROO it has lost some mystique....
Watchmeister Posted September 24, 2011 Report Posted September 24, 2011 Audemars Piguet has been a prestige brand since long before athletes, rappers and actors discovered them. And your AP ROO will be a classic long after you can't remember the actors' names in Entourage.
jeff g Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 Ah yes...the Genta triad. True classics. Buy the AP Diver...a beautiful piece..trust me.
Samurai Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 I like mine shaken...not stirred Can't go wrong with APs
corpsman Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 Just curious, how rediculous does a AP Roo look on a puny 6.5 wrist?
PPN Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 Just curious, how rediculous does a AP Roo look on a puny 6.5 wrist? It would work. 6.5 to 7 is more average than most ppl think. 1
corpsman Posted September 27, 2011 Report Posted September 27, 2011 My wrists are small but my forearms are big so i think itll blance out. Hehe.. Im on my way to a AD to do a test fit.
