ROC 26715 / Cal. 2385 Flyback?
Dear AP experts,
After receiving some great guidance in this forum, I‘m reasonably hopeful that I’ll be able to acquire an ROC 38mm next year. As much as I’d love to own the 41mm chrono, I just can pull off the bulky dimensions with my rather slender wrist. I noticed, however, that using the search function on the AP website, that ticking the complication “flyback chronograph” only reveals the 41mm variants, whereas the option “chronograph” only shows the 38mm variant. I was under the impression though that the 2385 caliber is the actual FP 1185, which has the flyback functionality. Any owners can shed light here whether the 38mm is or is not a flyback? Thank you very much in advance! |

Hi there, own both. The movement in the 26715 is definitely not a flyback

Then again, I love the design, finish, and flatness for a chrono. Greatly appreciate your views! |

I may not be the best to ask (too stupid to appreciate all the finer movement nuances). The 26715 belongs to my wife as it's too small for my wrist. That said, it's a lovely watch all around the prices these days are definitely more reasonable in the secondary market than they used to be as well... I'd say this : PROS Proven movement Silky smooth operation Seems to have no major issues every from what I could read (read : moving minutes etc) Very thin compared to more current ones CONS No flyback (I never use it anyway so wouldn't care in my ROO) No clear case back (that one is a bummer) Can't really go wrong either way. I'm sure it's down to sampling bias but a lot of people had issues with the new movement and minutes wandering etc (including yours truly), so I have been a bit disappointed with the lack of QC for the new movement if that helps... |
