New product: AP ROO chrono Diver by JF

[MADRED7]

When I first saw this Piece at SIHH 2016 in January I thought: "What an ugly watch, back to the 80ies when AP did all that colored ROO dials" ... not my Cup of tea.

But now there is a rep of it, this Piece talks to me and whispers: "... get me for summer, get me in green, get me in the waters"


... and YES, I will do so.
Waiting for the GREEN to be released soon hopefully.

... regarding the Price, interesting to see Angus with a plus of 90$ ... not sure why as it Looks the same watch and both dealers offer great service.

Does the lume color look off when comparing the rotating bezel to the dial?

Is the green already available?
Also, does this wears on the wrist same as the 42mm ROOs?

To be honest I have not seen it. But I've ordered through my regular dealer whom I have worked with for many years, and she told me all the colors are available already.

Theoretically, yes. Of course I have yet to try it on since I do not exactly live at the JF factory you see.
I have seen the gen on display but I have not tried it on.

Guys even though only the yellow model is shown, all 4 colors are available for order now.. I expect pics to be up very soon.
I would post my QC pics after they has been approved.

I hope these new rep chrono Divers do not wear like tall hockey pucks.

I was thinking the same thing, If its anything like the older seamaster chrono I think i'll pass

Lol, you do not live at the JF Factory - good one! Hahaha :biggrin-new:
PS. When you say you've seen the Gens on display, I assume you mean every color OTHER THAN green, since it's Geneva boutique only? (Or did you see it in Geneva? That would be cool!)

Lol no the gen one I saw was orange. It was a used watch in almost new condition and it was priced at S$42k (USD30.6k)

Gotcha.
Wow! Someone flipped that fast!!
Also, I thought Msrp on chrono Divers was mid-20's Usd. Like 26 or so...? Similar to SS Roo chronos.

I've checked chrono24 and it seems that the prices are higher than that bro.
