Saw a very nice AP ROO today...can't identify...help!

The Verdict and Chosen two.

And a beautiful faded bezel and kit.I'm now happy to say that these are my two watches. K serial 167101975 5513 (I plan on selling insert and rivet bracelet in order to source period correct parts)From here I only plan to add after the house Reno's and wedding is out of the way! Unless I win the lottery of course :P (I have been toying with the idea of a $2k work beater but we will see)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
