Beautiful watch but you need a big wrist to rock this bad boy.
I think 42 was the perfect size for AP ROO

how are you likely life with the 44mm RG Novelty? I am young in my 20's and have just sold my Solid gold Rolex GMT and want to now save the extra to move into this watch. am I making the right move stepping up to this watch.

the only AP ive seen in the real is the TI Sebastian Beumi and it took my breath away. I will be buying this watch unseen so I too hope it really takes my breath away.

what would you guys have the RG or the TI Shumi? they are sort of the same price for me. I am young so like showing off hence me leaning toward the RG. (i know I sound like a tool but at least im honest)

If you are after a flashy piece the RG AP ROO is you best choice....

Do not swim with this watch. The weight will pull you to the bottom and you will drown. On the positive side, if you punch someone, it will knock them out.

Congrats.

thanks for your help re the Schumi and RG Novelty. with the Schumi I could only afford the TI and not RG so I might go for this to be a bit flashy.

It's on rubber, not high polished it ain't flashy....its a sporty watch. Gold GMT is way flashier.

I have both and am only slightly older than you and never had anyone comment on the AP

That is really a beautiful piece, I love how it wears!
AP really did a nice job, many heads this heavy flop around on a Rubber or leather strap but this just works great!
Congrats!

I really am speechless:























I'm now going to put this bad boy on my wrist and head out the door. My first AP, who'd of thought
Congrats!!! Amazing photography.

WOW - thanks guys - really feeling the love for this beauty

My wrist is actually pretty normal in size - posted this wrist shot earlier:

It's a big watch no doubt - but wears well for me:
