You should have seen it before it was sent to AP service end of last year.. not a pretty sight at all.

It's pristine now so it doesn't get much wear, except during time off and away from toddlers..  ;D

ROO without doubt. I have no problem wearing my roo diver in suits, jeans and tshirt whatsoever. So long as you have 6.5" you can pull it off easily. Place a ROO next to RO and you will pick ROO straightaway without further look at RO. If you can only have one, you should go for ROO. Grab one RO later if you want another one.

Last sentence is my advice as well. Incidentally, I'm also hoping to find a 15300 at a good price...  :Praying:

I would like to know this as well. Most of the time when i am wearing my ROO with a long sleeve shirt, it would not be under the sleeve but visible to everyone. Of course it gives one heck of a statement. :Laughing_on_floor:

To me thats the whole idea of it, to wear a watch is to show, not to hide.

Get a tailor to custom made a shirt that fits ROO . Pattern can match your strap too ..


...actually i think it will look very weird , left sleeve larger than the right.

easy that's the answer, always tell them to give 1.5- 2 inches allowance at my left side. Its a norm these days, some tailors even asked me that without me making the request. But since I wear French cuff shirt most of the time, I am very careful if I am trying to hide any watch as my friend scratched his watch with his cufflinks before. But so far, I don't have such issue.



Also, I find it perfectly fine to wear ROO suits in.

I would suggest for you to go RO first. Get a feel for the design, the brand, you will really fall in love with the grand tapisserie, the way it glimmers in the sunlight and moonlight, photos don't do it justice.

It is also the cheaper one, and leaves room for upgrade to the ROO in the future, because trust me, you will want another AP sooner or later!

Of course I am quite biased hahah! First post here in MWF after lurking for some time.

I hope this helps! However i think it's going to confuse you even more hahaha  :Laughing_on_floor:

It was quite hard to find the ROO Navy at first glance....   :HammerHead:

Get the ROO first, you won't think about the RO so much after that.
