AP Scuba or Chrono?

[PeeCeeBee]

i prefer the Wempe Scuba. But personally i can't take the watch also due to the lug and of cos price

[Democritus]

I have tried the chrono and found the same problem due to our Asian wrist. But the scuba sits better on my wrist so pulled the trigger on a Blue Scuba and never regret. Very nice with presence, rarity and feel.

Of course as a boutique piece, a little pricier so just hope can at least hold value better. My fav is the scuba orange.

Does anyone have any problem with the strap for the ROO? The watch itself is ok for my wrist, the the way the strap bends from the watch, it just can't bend snugly around my wrist, always leaving a gap between it and my wrist especially the hornbacks. Or they will bend to the shape of my wrist after wearing it for a while? Does anyone have this problem with ROO?

for a smaller wrist, the gap will always be there....

even the short strap dun really help cos it doesnt bend beyond the angle of the lugs...

Yup, that's what happened when I tried on my friend's (with similar wrist size to me) Safari on short straps ... Hence, have not pulled trigger on the ROO

bros, the ROOs will "grow" or rather "shrink" on you.

trust me, i also resisted the ROO initially becoz of my small wrist

i'll contribute a little here cos i dunno much of AP tho i owned a mid size RO years ago..

i just got mine today and it's a Ti version. It's light and fits well...very comfortable ..i too have a very small wrist (almost every watch i own has to punch a hole or two..so u can imagine...for example, Sinn U1..the SE has to cut it to max and change butterfly clasp).I tried the rubber cladded version and yes there's a gap between my wrist and the watch...similarly for Graham watches on me...

perhaps some of u shld consider bracelet version? Stainless steel is quite heavy...feels like DSSD...

As for Scuba and Chrono....i understand that both holds value pretty well...Scubas usually sold in boutiques and are LE so discount is not given (or very minimal if ya a regular). AP offers 5 years warranty for watches bought from their boutiques so discount is much lower compared to ADs..

that's all i know as a new owner....am still learning...

cheers

hi, bro edison2,

let me relate my experience,

some time back, i tried on a ROO at an AD, then decided that it is too big/loose for my small wrist, so bought a RO dual time instead. But the ROO safari kept calling out to me, so pull the trigger on the safari. I used the last hole on the standard length strap, still loose but manageable. Maybe you can consider ordering a shorter strap fr the service centre.

Man, i luv my ROO. my wife lv it too. in fact the whole world luv it, hahaa

After a while, the RO looks a bit small, and the ROO seems to be the right size to wear.

agree agree
everybody ard me thinks that my safari is the best looking watch i've owned.
try it and u will know wat i say.

Huh... Bro. Dun be sad. There's something we all know which known as Plastic Surgery. It's not too late to arrange an appointment if your wife did ask u y both of you end up together like u thought earlier, just tell her you are the "Victim" and got tricked into the marriage with her. Hee hee... ...

So where is your AP pic ???
