2.5 years is a long time but looks like it was worth it! Congrats!

Pw92676 · 16 April 2023, 05:26 AM

It looks perfect on you. Enjoy

rrschmieder · 16 April 2023, 07:38 AM

Congrats OP, that’s a beautiful piece.

Mk2rick · 17 April 2023, 02:52 AM

congrats! my desired AP piece too! Wear it in good health mate

mykii · 17 April 2023, 09:20 AM

38mm ROC imo is amongst the best in the catalogue

srvrf · 17 April 2023, 10:30 AM

Congrats! The fit looks perfect.

squall1 · 17 April 2023, 10:41 AM

Grey dial is very classy and shifts quite a bit in color. So grateful to be part of the club!

I'm lining up for this grey dial in Hong Kong as well. Would u mind to tell more about what u do for living? I'm wondering if one's profession/job affect the allocation. Thanks.

Looks amazing. Congratulations

Congratulations!

Looks like a perfect size for you. What is your wrist size?

RyanO · 18 April 2023, 09:39 AM

Congrats!! The 38mm is perfect

Congratulations! Great watch - if only they did the display case back !

Toffeeman · 23 April 2023, 10:48 AM

I tried the 38mm. It fits in better than the 41mm given my wrist size.

Congratulations! The grey dial is definitely something special - the monochromatic look suits the RO well imo

Klopez · 24 April 2023, 03:17 AM

One of the best in the market

brucethemanlee · 24 April 2023, 03:51 AM

41mm wears too large on my 6.75 inch wrist and 37mm wears too small. 39mm would be perfect but that's reserved for the jumbo and impossible to get.

So next best size is the 38mm ROC!!

Personally, i prefer the blue dial over grey. however grey looks great too

This is where I am too. All my favorite pieces are 41mm (tourb, QP) but they’re just too big. My 15300 is perfect.

I think the ROC is 38 is about perfect. They wear larger than 38 but the 41 is just too big. Congrats, OP. Nice pickup.

Toffeeman · 24 April 2023, 11:18 PM

The picture wasn’t clear. Just received last week. My first AP.

Very cool!

Shocked too! On April 15th you asked/posted "is it hard to get" and then few days later you get the watch! Impressive!!

Yes. I registered in March. Thought I will have to wait for more than a year. So it was a pleasant surprise.

I wish they could fit the 4401 movement in the 38mm chrono.
An AP has to have an open case back and in-house movement, imho.

They were able to do that with the flying tourbillon for RD3 where the movement fits both the Jumbo and the 37m RO.

Hopefully it is in the works for the coming year or so.

RolexBHR · 25 April 2023, 07:01 PM

Congrats, 38mm Chrono is the best size after the Jumbo imho.

Congrats to both of you.

Getting it in 2-2.5y I'd assume is the norm. Getting it in a month is nuts - count your luck and play the lottery!
