coolfire Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well, looks like these wristshots are a cue for me to get the AP ROO! Thanks for the pics, chubb... What about you, joe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajoesmith Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 if I remember right, it does. Of course it's still a big watch. I'm in the office right now but I can do you a side-by-side picture and one addressing the shirt issue tonight. That would be great, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is another, more important reason to choose the ROO over the Oris at the moment: the Tube and Crown of the Oris are utter crap, designed to break in no time. I'm a careful guy and I collect watches for a looong time. Even with careful use, mine lasted three weeks and so right now, it's a 300$ paperweight. I'm waiting for replacement parts. The datewheel issue has been discussed too. The watch itself is beautiful... The ROO has no such problem (if you make sure the rubber covers of the pushers are glued on...;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ROO has no such problem (if you make sure the rubber covers of the pushers are glued on...;-) I'm sorry to hear about your OCC dude. Mine is still running alright, though it could be due to the fact that it was from the 1st batch (from Jay). the only issue is that it only takes a quarter-turn to screw that crown tight. Hope you get your replacement parts soon, it IS a damn beautiful watch, that I have to admit. Interesting to note that on the AP ROO, the rubber covers/sleeves of the chrono pushers are required to be glued on, I wonder whether the latest AP ROO with secs @12 suffer from this same deficiency, too...

chubbchubb Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Here you go... I also tried the shirt test and have to say no, the ROO does not fit comfortably under the cuff. My wrist is 7.9" and my shirtsize is 16.5". As the CC is visibly higher, that one is out of the question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
