Incoming!!! StarWh... 15510 OR
Okay, after buying my CODE, my SA called me for several times for ROOs and ROCs. I'm picky on basically everything in my life, so I rejected several pieces. My next watch had to be something I really like, and something I would wear several times a week.
I wanted a RO silver/white dial, but when I saw the RO rose gold, black dial, something, something triggers my brain. Rose gold, black dial and black strap, is just perfect. Yes, this RO is on strap, but having a full rose gold watch at my age, is just stupid. Maybe when I'm 60 I can pull it off... Someone on the forum told me the 41mm is too big for my wist, so I tried a 37mm, which was way too small. I think 41mm is ok. For me buying a watch has to be for special occasion. I can't buy several watches a year.Had a few work related things to celebrate, so it was time for a new watch. As always APs customer service is just fantastic. Always feel welcome. No idea why, but my SA wanted a selfie. I do have to say buying a RO felt different than my CODE, strange feeling. Some pics: |

Congrats, what a looker!
It definitely looks huge on you, but if anything the leather strap will help it contour to your wrist better once you wear it in |

Looks great on you. Congratulations.
Not possible to judge size over pictures. Camera perspective changes dramatically depending on how close or how far the camera is from your wrist. A few inches difference and the same watch can look too small or too big. And who doesn’t look good wearing a RO41? Congratulations again.

It's a beauty. I tried on the same watch with the blue dial and strap yesterday. The AP pink gold is something to behold in person.
