AP ROO Diver..
First impression, I love it. The watch is big enough for my wrist. With the big watch trend, those with big wrists like mine can enjoy watches too as compared to 15 years back where even the 40mm sub was deemed too big. Size comparison with my PAM0090 below
On paper the AP is smaller (42mm) than the PAM(44mm) but from the pictures, they look exactly the same. In terms of weight, the PAM is heavier.
Has signed crown and buckle with the letters AP. I do not know whether it is because of the rubber on the crown but i feel the winding of the watch to be a little bit grainy. For me so far, Rolex still has the best winding feel out of all my watches.
Even though the buckle looks very angular, the edges are not sharp so have to give AP a
for their fine worksmanship.
Picture of the overall watch.
and overall thickness of the watch and inner bezel crown. Because of the curved lugs, the watch wears very comfortably. Also the brushed finish on the case minimises smudges and hairline scratches which is really great thinking by AP as this is a sports watch.
Last but not least, the customary wrist shot to show size and wearability. As you can see eventhough case diameter is 42mm and overall case size is 46mm, the watch is not as big as initially thought.
Very recommended for those considering to purchase one.
Thank you for viewing.
