How’s the thickness vs the regular offshore?

Think it's about 3mm thinner. Feels like a ton thinner. 12.8mm. Maxi case sub was 13mm. It's very thin for a ROO. Delightful to wear.

Yup, they happen to have XS leather band in the Nagoya boutique, also has the grey hornback but it is harder to break into.

This is an amazing wrist shot of this Ti reference with that leather strap!

I always appreciate when an SA of a luxury brand can talk in depth about OTHER watch brands. Let's me know they are true watch lovers. William and I have had long discussions on ALS and FPJ. He knows watches. Deeply. Truly a first class guy and true fan of watches. I love giving people like this my business.

Agree on all counts!

Given the spectrum of your recent AP chronos, I’m curious if you have any 44mm ROOs, or if you anticipate venturing into that realm of larger ROOs in the future?

I have tried on many 44s over the years and they always look comically large on me. It's a shame because so many of the great ROOs are 44s. Generally speaking I prefer smaller watches (38mm ROC), but for Panerai and ROOs I will step outside my comfort zone to get something unique and different, but I have learned, the hard way, that 44 ROOs and 47 PAMs are a bridge too far for me personally. So a 42 ROO or a 44 Luminor is my personal limit.

Now if AP will only get on making some cool new ceramic 42s!

I got the same model last year in Madrid. Its great. The straps are really nice, but I ended up getting the TI bracelet. AP bracelets are awesome. Very comfortable. Integrates perfectly.

[watchucallit]

really nice... what size is your wrist?

There's a TI bracelet for this watch? Can you share some pics with us?

[3kweave]

as far as i know, you can get a bracelet for any watch (as long as you are willing to pay).

It does look like quite large, but the dial convincingly appears to be the 42mm ROO Titanium model. Very nice 👍🏼

[3kweave]

yeah its the 42. It wears smaller on the wrists than the 42mm ROO. The 26480ti has the same movement as the ROC as a result its like 4 mm thinner than the "regular" ROO. It wears fairly similar to ROC.

I asked about the bracelet at the Boutique and I think they said it was around 5 grand (if memory serves). Can be bought from them.

[JP_2015]
