Hey guys, I am new to AP.....I am trying to decide between adding the the ROO Rose Gold piece as my first AP, or going ahead with a PP 59801/A.

I do already have a 5980R, but would like to add the SS piece at some point.

I am just looking for some feedback, as I have never had the ROO on my wrist, and in Denver, don't seem to have many options to do so.

I will post this in the PP forum too, to see mixed opinions.

Thanks,

JPS

Try them both on and see what you like, thats what I did

The Patek you dont even know you have a watch on its so light dainty and comfortable

The ROO is insanely heavy and an uncomfortable beast comparatively speaking but drop dead beautiful, much more stunning

The ROO uses a DD chronograph module and I believe the Patek is in house fully integrated although at least you can actually see and use the chrono on the AP one of the most legible out there, the PP chrono arrangement is tiny and awkward.

So give it some thought but if you already have a pp rg go with the ap

Also try on the RG ROC.

ROO RG is super comfortable (I've owned all 44mm ROO novelties) and I think one of the BEST AP pieces you can own.

But is it more comfortable than the PP

Does it fit under sleeves better, is it lighter.....is it less top heavy.

Comfort is something that may be relative in this situation.

And it may be your wrist...everyone is different. Get a short strap and it's one of the most comfortable watches I've owned.

5980 is an incredible watch. I would add the 44 Novelty for some look and brand collection diversity. I own both gold 5980's and the RG novelty and they are all excellent. I prefer the look and feel of precious metal watches.

rangercadre · 6 March 2015, 04:00 PM

go AP since u already got a 5980r. add some diversity. the 42 mm rose gold roo looks good as well.

h999r · 6 March 2015, 04:06 PM

Why you add another same look 5980. aP is the answer.

Hairdude1 · 6 March 2015, 06:57 PM

Go for the AP

TimeFlys · 7 March 2015, 12:56 PM

Add an AP for sure.

DavidSW has the ROO for sale for a very good price. If you're going to move on that one, which I think you should, that's a great opportunity.
