Thinking about another ap

So got my first ap a few months ago and I just love the brand now so thinking I need another. Started to look at the gold Roo models but noticed they have white gold screws on the bezel? Are they all like this and why would they do that surly gold screws would look better no. ?
Really like the chunky ROO vs the thinner RO but that would turn me off the gold watches with white screws. Do others feel this way

That is just part of the design, even my summer edition had white gold screws and it didn't look weird at all. I'd say that the contrasting screws are a deliberate design feature.

As above its a (very good) design feature, and to me works better than having the screws in colour matching pink or yellow gold, particularly on a same metal gold bezel. That said, I do understand your view point, but they are what they are.

ROO screws are actually SS, more durable.

I though my diver had white gold screws no? They really pop along with the white gold hands and markers on the dial

Must admit, I thought they were white gold?

My understanding was always RO=WG and ROO=SS.

Correct.

I tend to agree with the OP color matching screws might be nice. Or it could look awful haha hard to know. Who has a photoshop for us.

Millenary 4101

Thinking of trading this dual time oxidized bright yellow tropical dial for preowned Millenary 4101 Rose gold....stupid decision?

I don't know, I had a RG ROC and never minded the silver screws against the gold bezel, just don't think gold screws would look better. With a CE bezel the silver screws are no bother at all in any metal.

Totally agreed. Colour matched screws would look ok, but I'd much prefer silver with gold.

If you have an Offshore already, then go 15500, elegant, sporty or dressy, you will love it.
