Flat angle to show the waffle dial

Can you fit the gold bracelet to this if you wanted to?

I’ve wondered this too but I’ve never seen it done though

I've seen people do it to the 15305or on strap so it must be possible with yours although I'm sure it isn't cheap!

[Der Amf]

If it is, this should give an idea of price....

[ajw232]

I may be biased but I still prefer the dial on my 15400 to the new 15500. I can't believe they are £17k retail!

The crown screws down AP true, sits flatter on the wrist than I expected.

Just put a large deposit on an Offshore Chrono 26480ti and pick it up in a few weeks. Love the blue dial and its only 12.8mm thick so wears really well for a 42mm offshore. Cant wait to pick it up.

Really like this version - thickness will be fine. They make those pushers work for the smaller size (usually reserved for the 44mm).

Yeah with the titanium bezel then having a thinner watch will help not to knock it on things. It has the Piquet movement which is used in the Royal Oak Chrono and some wont like this( a bit small for the watch) but it has its benefits like the height. It has the integrated chrono, the lack of the cyclops in my book is also a winner. I love the overall shape with the pushers similar to the 44mm and of course the contrast between the dial and sub dials.

Indeed the movement is a bit small, but a solid back which I think is appropriate. Besides it is a solid workhouse so no complaints.

I’m a big fan of those pushers, seen here on its (cheaper) IWC cousin....

I’ve got the AP bug!
I picked up a diver last month and have now added this too.
The dial is fabulous, really appreciating these watches.

Absolutely the choice pick of the new 43mm ROO range and the dial is mesmerising. Enjoy Paul.

The dial really is a work of art.
I’d like to see the current TZ AP’s after resurrecting this old thread!

Nicest of the ROO 43 models for me. Also looks good on black rubber.

Lovely!
I’m new to AP and there looks to be LOTS of different models.
I first became aware of the brand with the Bumblebee when I was at an AD in Edinburgh, I think it was Laings.
At the time, it was so different to anything I’d seen before and I still have a soft spot for it.

Thanks!
Yes it looks very different on various colours.
I have 4 straps for it including the black leather one.
