AP ROO - 3 Watches in 1

Bracelet, Rubber & Leather, this will hopefully ensure I never got bored of this watch.

Which of the 3 looks do you prefer??

Do the bands come with the watch, or you buy them separately? VC Overseas comes with 3 different wrist bands.

All look great but bracelet and rubber would probably get the most wrist time if it was mine.

Had the same one and the look with the bracelet had some serious wrist presence and weight.

The leather made it much easier to wear, but not during hot months.

I like the bracelet and rubber options best.

I agree Neil. The Panda on a black horned back with red stitching would look superb. I also love the ultra sporty look on bracelet

I used to have this watch also, in fact it was my first AP. It's a great watch - I prefer it on leather, I'm not a fan of the offshore metal bracelet as I much prefer the standard Royal Oak bracelet as it's not as rounded.

Looks good on all three. I generally prefer all ROO models on rubber, but that looks damn good on the bracelet too. Good pick-up!

Very nice.

I have a ROO panda on a bracelet. In your opinion which do you like most? Rubber, Leather or bracelet.

I wanted to pick up a leather strap this weekend decided not to due to the bracelet being so comfortable and not bothering me at all.

Very curious on what your thoughts are? Also when do you use, what strap?

So far, one had the leather and the rubber and I prefer the rubber.

Ive just added the bracket and I'm loving it so far.
