Summer's finally here and now that covid restrictions are being released, it was time to pull my ap roo from the box to be my dedicated summer watch. I'm doing this with the intention of wearing it for all normal/ light impact summer activities, so yes for swimming but not for the gym or running. I did some searching on rwi and other forums about doing this with an ap roo and didn't find much. So here's the details:
The watch:
from trusty, AP0413B - Royal Oak Diver SS/RU White JF MY9015 Mod A3120 - $400
States it's 30m WR from the factory. I opted to add the 50m waterproofing as well - $50
It's sadly been in my box for most of 2020 as I didn't want to draw attention with much of the world struggling financially, and not much fun just wearing it just around the house while everything was closed. I took it out today and inspected the seals. All looked good. For added security I added some silicone grease to the seals for the bezel bolt, crown, and opened it up to put some on the caseback o-ring. I even greased up the exposed gasket. I used this same grease on a tudor homage I have been surfing with for the past 2 years so I'm hoping for the same luck here.
Anyway, took a dip in the pool today for about 15 mins and showered with it on afterwards. No sign of any leaks. I realize that this could go south quickly, but I plan on continuing to wear and use the watch in the water as the gen was intended.
Am I crazy or has anyone else worn their roo in the water too?
