Well summer is coming up and I needs to buy me a new watcho. Been looking at the AP's for a long time and I think the time to buy one has come.

I'm looking to buy something more eye catching. If I wanna be humble I have my PAMs to wear.

So anyway, what do you guys reckon is the most eye catching AP ROO? I was looking at the Rubber Clad both in SS and RG. The Silver Themes and the Chronopassion.

I tried the Safari and the Rubber Clad RG at the AD once and the SS seemed to have more sheen/shine to it.

What do you AP ROO gurus reckon?

If I had to buy any it would be the safari, and put it on a good hornback strap.

For my first AP I would hope to get a volcano on a hornback strap.

If I would just buy one it had to be the Safari.

But I think the most eye catching is the Don Ramon. :)

I think the rg is the most eye catching. The safari and black rubberclad are the least accurate.

I just ordered mine! AP RG with black bezel... I think that's the most eye catching watch from the ones you have written here.

If the most eye catching id say the Bumblebee.

The ones that yell IM LOADED, thats a different story.

With AP's i think a guy should have some serious bucks to even think of getting away with a flashy one.
People that know know they cost as much some houses.

my vote goes for the tour auto 2010.. just something about the red subdials and checkered pattern tachy ring that makes it pop.

I honestly think every ROO is an eyacatcher. They sit high on the wrist + the octagonal shape is unusual for watches (unless you know the AP brand & PP etc.). So anyhow, any AP is a good choice.

As far as real eye catching goes and in terms of accuracy I'd say the Driver Boutique or TA 2010.

But you can't go wrong with the CP :), beware of scratches.

Mine should arrive next week, and I ordered it the day it came out.... DAMN

If you want a "conservative" AP ROO I would say the Chronopassion or Black Themes, depending on whether you wanted leather strap or steel bracelet. There is a nice Vac modded Grey Themes for sale on one of the forums right now.

For me, the favorite APs are the ones that make a big, bold statement. So the two in my collection are the Survivor and T3. I like the RB II also, but it has flaws - related to the skeletonized dial on the gen - that have kept me from pulling the trigger.

The really colorful APs, well I haven't been able to get into them yet... guess I'm a gray, black, and white type of guy ;)

If you happen to like the design, the new Jacob & Co Epic II rep is amazing and very eye catching. It's big at 47mm with a very contrasty and intricate dial (including multiple layers, mirrored surface and 3D carbon fiber background). The factory made it with a gen as a model, and nailed it on the first try... no significant flaws. Even the sunken date wheel is good since the gen is based on the same 7750 movement. It gets a lot of attention when I wear it.

How I wish that I could have a love affair watch for an entire season.... I'm always having month affairs...
I just can't stop buying them.... I just bought a Volcano and an Auto Tour that will be delivered in a few moments by FEDEX, and I'm considering buying the Diver....
I think that te most eye catching AP is the next one you are looking for....

I have the APRoo Rubber clad and the Silver themes and would recommend them both.
