Incoming!
I love this watch. It looks absolutely fabulous. Hard to capture in photos. Will post proper photos tomorrow. Complements my 44Ti nicely, although I also have the CE Diver.

stan wawrinka's ROO
Does anyone play tennis with their AP ROO on their wrist? Looks like stan wawrinka is playing with a stock ROO. Not sure if AP's watch will take that kind of abuse. AP definitely will supply unlimited number of ROOs for him to wear. So he can careless if the movement inside is destroyed after each match.
