Beautiful watch solid but elegant. I really like the nonchrono versions best. Glad it sits well on your wrist as i have the same size wrist. Great purchase. Enjoy
After wanting one for years and after a few weeks of back and forth with Mark at Blowers, I finally got one of my dream watches....
I have a feeling this may be the watch that satisfies all my horological desires. I was concerned about size, but this seems to be supplied with a short length strap and, with the curved lugs, fits my 6.75" wrist perfectly. Everything from the fit and finish to the gorgeous dial to the super chunky and ultra comfortable strap is, for me, totally perfect.
I wish I'd bought one years ago. Let's see if my new Aquatimer gets a look in :)

Congrats, OP., beautiful watch, and mine's a keeper.
I cant imagine how heavy it is with that bracelet. I'll bet it's about 170 grams even on rubber.
That's a very solid looking luxurious piece. Congratulations on your purchase. Enjoy wearing it.
I've had mine for about a month and am about 90% in love with it...some days it does feel too big and I wonder if I should have bought the classical RO instead.
I'm also not sure about whether to buy the bracelet...am looking for one in London when I'm there next week. If anyone has a bracelet they are looking to move, please let me know.
But, as I say, 90% of the time I'm very pleased. No question on the design or finish...but they really should fit a display caseback. I'm sure that will announce a revised model in Jan at SIHH.

Yes, the new ROOs do- but the steel diver hasn't been updated yet. Inevitable you'd think.
Love these watches, so classic and timeless. Definitely next on my hit list...if I can justify it!
I'm a big fan of AP and the brushed steel design so I have to congratulate you on a superb choice. :)
I do prefer the non chrono Roos as my preference changes and I suspect this model may be one I'll acquire in the near future.
I love this watch. Been tempted by the one at Blowers many times.
Congratulations
I'm still trying to figure out what the Genta 'Sports watch' is to me. The only one I've had was a ROO and I really enjoyed it; I sold it, sadly, because of the reputation the wearer is often given, I didn't like the modular chrono and I knew I wanted a Nautilus.
I'm craving an AP again though and am torn between the slimmer standard RO / RO chrono or this. I doubt there are bad choices, I suppose it's deciding what would be a foil to a Nautilus 5980 chrono. First world problems eh...
Lovely, APs best and super comfy when I tried it on. Enjoy!
Absolutely stunning. I thought it'd be a bit large for 6.75 (my size!) though - any chance of some wrist shots?
Fantastic watch enjoy it.

This is a stunning watch! Wear it in good health!
Such a good looking watch! I'm currently (slowly) saving up for one.
Well done. Congrats!
That is a good step forward, nice one man
Nice, but would look so much better on a tasteful AP hornback croc strap.
It is a real beauty, and it does wear really well, considering its heft. I tried one with a bracelet and IMO it didn't wear as well as the rubber.
I'm continuing to love this watch and every time I open the safe to put on something else, I think, "meh". Now I'm toying with the idea of selling everything else and buying the forged carbon one at Blowers thus reducing my collection to two pieces :)

Is it less than 2 years old ?
If so then register the watch with AP then send them an e-mail asking for the voucher for the 3rd year warranty sticker that entitles you to the 3rd years warranty and a free WR test.
The previous owner may have done this so check the paperwork for a letter with the sticker or check the warranty section of the service book.
Another fine AP purchase here on TZ.
The Diver (prior and current Ceramic model) are just brilliant watches.
What's the going rate for a good example? And how much would a bracelet cost (as most look to be sold on the rubber)?
The diver is the most elegant but still big ROO IMHO. Great great choice
