AP ROO Limited Edition LeBron James (27th Sept 2013)

Dear members,

what are your thoughts about this LE introduced exactly 1 year ago on the 27th September 2013?

Is this classy?

Is it stylish?

Is it just another take-the-same-watch-and-add-fancy-Colors?

Would you Gusy buy this if it will be released?

I am torn between love and hate, yay and nay, on and off. But the more I look at it, the more the watch speaks to me. Supple grey Colors for dial and strap (I am a sucker for Grey :D ) and the fine Gold gives it an elegant, yet sporty look. The 44mm case will Keep it into the range of wearable watches. I will not talk abot those Diamonds on the start-pusher (no like).

Just like to hear your thoughts as I have a genuine croc strap for this Baby sitting in my strap-box waiting for the watch to be released.

Dr. Theo
P.S.: the rubber strap that Comes with the watch is a Piece of art for itself ;)

I am not a gold guy, but I like it, she seems lighter/fresher then the other Gold models, much less in your face.

kinda of a cool high end summer watch

I might consider for the Stable if a premium quality rep is avail :)

so to answers your questions:

Is this classy? YES with a touch of audacity

Is it stylish? YES very much

Is it just another take-the-same-watch-and-add-fancy-Colors? NO, it has his own personality, a very pleasant/subtle wrist presence

Would you Gusy buy this if it will be released? YES @ 90% , but makers must buy the gen to insure proper Qc and colors check...

Thx mate for your Input.

I don´t think the factory bought the gen as this would be a 60K Investment to start the Project.

But anyway, the watch offers some easier parts like NO AP logo, easy Color for dial and strap, allready seen movement in the other 44mm ROO´s, blue chrono hands and a black datewindow.

Let´s wait and see.

My only concerned is the Gold color . did you see it in the flesh ? At times it seems the gold use is rose gold, but on some pics you see it yellow (which I don't like)

check the pictures below. What do you think ?

pinkish here:

clearly yellow on this one (please note protective plastic that might change the color/light reflection):

Pinkish here on a different angle

Clearly yellow here again:

and finally pinkish on Lebron:

That is the color I like not completely pink neither yellow...:

What do you guys think ? I must admit I am a bit confused.

I hope Makers will produce one with a stronger rose gold hint then yellow...

After the "Fiasco" of the Diver QEII, which share similar colors pattern, one can only hope for the best without a Gen handy at the factory...

The Gold used is Pink (or Rose) Gold. I have seen it at my local dealer on a special AP event ... it is clearly rose Color!

Sorry... Does nothing for me at all. Plus, honoring LJ here in Miami is not exactly PC either, even if I did like it!

Seems to me thats it's not a watch that sports itself in a dressy way. Its more-so a casual watch. In that regard, it is a BEAST to me! Although, the gold/pinkish look makes it look weird, it has certain uniqueness in its color.

Sooooo...1 out of 10, 10 being the highest. I give it a 6 LOL

I would love to see the quality and price of a rep!

Where I need to be.
I love the ROO LBJ the day I saw it.
But where the rep is concerned, I have little faith after seeing the monstrosity rep they call the diver QE2, which is of a similar color theme...
Lets just hope that if and when this is released, it is a more believable version vs the QE2 rep.

Def not my taste... Gayish

???????????

If you are inferring "Gayish" as a watch that should be worn by a Lady , I am afraid I have to tell you that you just been DISQUALIFIED to provide any opinions on both AP design style and sophisticated lifestyle tastes in general !
