lanikai Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 the release of the APROO replication has made me reevaluate my passion for timepieces... specifically .. Should I consider this a valued "Timepiece" or a (genuine) fashion piece that is overstated and should be worn as one would wear a "Bracelet" ... if you are very large in limbs and stature and this piece looks apropos to your wrist .. then you would not give it a second thought.. but the average "Human" does not have the ROO in mind when thinking in terms of "timepiece" It is a XXXL size .. bulky ... not practical... and shouts out for attention... definitely not an everyday wear.. even in the corporate world.. so should this be worn as a jewelry accessory ?? ... like a night out ... dressed for the night ? should it be worn as a bracelet.. as the style is "loose "... almost falling of your wrist... Am I getting caught up in the "hype" of what's .."IN" in this era ??.. because wearing it as a watch has me looking at it not in appreciation like the vintage pieces.. but rather with the thought of "OMG that is friggin huge ,.. bulky and hilarious looking.. I'm thinking this watch needs sleeves.. so what that is saying is.. "I'm trying to justify waring it".. or maybe it's just me..today..tomorrow will be different.. what's your thought's ?? wear as a watch or a jewelrybracelet ??? Or What Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P4GTR Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 I don't think anyone needs to tell you what to do Lan. Wear it when it makes you happy. We set the trends, they do not set us. Oh how I want that Scuderia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 After all, aren't watches truly functional jewelry, isn't that why we have som many different styles in our collections? Wear it however and whenever your mood suits you - just please don't wear it bangle bracelet loose I find that to be a very self-conscious, affected look and besides, your gorgeous watch will get banged up and scratched that way.

scoobs1971 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Funny that you mention this. I've always liked the design of the RO chrono, but seeing rappers like Jay-Z affiliated with this brand, it unfortunately has become more of a fashion statement. Nevertheless it looks great on your wrist! So if I were you I wouldn't mind and wear it whenever you feel like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Could be used as a weapon. So can a Rolex Oyster Perpetual, according to On Her Majesty's Secret Service R, It doesn't look oversized on you, so just wear it whenever you feel like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 What kind of watch belongs in what corporate setting has been a topic of discussion here many times. This particular timepiece is, in my opinion, no more attention-grabbing then a 49mm Railmaster, Fiddy, or Bentley - all of which are popular and worn regularly by many people. Bottom line in my opinion, if you find it comfortable and it looks good on you, go for it. Life is too short getting worried about what others think about your watch. If you like wearing your AP ROO Lanikai then wear it to your hearts content and know that you have my full support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
