Thanks for sharing your lovely Navy with us!

Agreed! That is the only thing that is putting me off from getting the Navy..

The blue on the strap and the buckle look really weird!!!

hennabav · 15 December 2010, 04:07 PM

Stunning pics and stunning watch nonetheless!! The Navy AP is probably one of my most favorite watches out there....unfortunately, I have small wrists as well and last time I tried one on at a local dealer and the watch just didn't feel right at all. The lugs just extended way beyond my wrist making it not sit well and kept on moving around. AP's definitely are more suited for people with larger wrists...curious whether that new AP Diver will fit well at 42mm. Anyone know??

Mr Tito I agree, I have been swayed also. I think it has something to do with the blue strap?

Thanks for the review..enjoyed it

I do really like the look of the watch...I am really starting to look more and more at The ROO..

Need to try a few on which is not possible here as they are not sold anywhere....

Hopefully there are ADs in Singapore??? Am going there soon..anyone know of a good one??

mdtddd2007 · 11 April 2011, 02:43 PM

I just swapped a couple from my collection for a grail of mine - the AP ROO on bracelet with a silver/white dial. Love the look and feel very disapointed with the second hand jump when the chronograph is stopped!!!

still very happy with the fella I must say!

cheers

Informative evaluation and photos. I have smallish wrists too…just curious, what is your wrist size?

diveguy · 22 May 2011, 01:07 PM

That blue pops.

dddrees · 22 May 2011, 08:00 PM

Great looking watch Norman, and thanks for sharing your thoughts as well.

D. Whitman · 27 June 2011, 10:17 AM

Awesome review and photos! I think I know what my next watch will be.

rolexsweep · 29 June 2011, 08:17 AM

What a beauty, I tried a roo and a diver yesterday and they just fit like a glove and even on the rubber strap it still had such class and sophistication

Shade · 29 June 2011, 10:54 AM

The diver actually fits more comfortably than the other roos, and probably due to the rubber strap too.

ancs88 · 29 June 2011, 07:25 PM

I tried on the Diver too... it sits well on my small wrist compared to other Roos.

Marc_Quadra · 2 July 2011, 07:05 AM

The navy color really fit the design of the watch, I'm very impressed as I never thought that it will look so good.
By the way : Congratulations !!

h999r · 10 July 2011, 06:23 PM

Why the clasp is different then mine. Mine has AP symbol clasp.

I changed my buckle/clasp to an aftermarket one. The original single folding buckle is a pain on my wrist - literally. The aftermarket double folding gives it a slightly more comfortable sitting for me.

D. Whitman · 24 July 2011, 03:00 PM

Thanks. The Navy is virtually indescribable, but you seemed to nail it. I just had to pick up a Panda!

bvm183 · 31 July 2011, 03:08 PM

Compliments real great watch

willz15 · 28 August 2011, 10:29 PM

nice watch! was dallying between the navy and volcano, picked the volcano in the end cos of the brighter color

. had a original rubber strap fitted on mine and it feels great. more sturdy and i can wear it without having to worry the leather will be destroyed

. I agree the deployant can be a pain in the ass

alby.bda · 7 September 2011, 12:47 PM
