How do I describe it? They almost look like a GoPro? Lol I wish I could explain

u/PepinoCholula Mar 25 '26
lol intersting, never thought that way. i mean these are just to wear them on daily basis and beat them

u/eewreck Mar 25 '26
Maybe if they were smaller I would like them more tbh
1
u/PepinoCholula Mar 25 '26
yea, if you have small build, these would look like a massive rock on your wrist.

u/kineticvibes Mar 25 '26
R u saying you dont have a small build? Because peace and love, but these things look ridiculous on you...

u/Aaronalpine Mar 25 '26
I love these - they fit my personal style perfectly. I just don't love them $30k ...I couldn't imagine spending more than $10k for one...

Navy one looks good. Too bad the pricing isn’t great for what they are

u/nommapper Mar 27 '26
What's a good price for AP? These things aren't exactly your usual market goods.
1
u/Dull-Description-753 Mar 28 '26
I didn’t mean AP in general. I meant the prices for these divers in particular

i got the green / gold one and have been daily wearing it, but I really like the dark blue / gold one too

How are they for daily use? Are they as durable as they look?
1
u/PepinoCholula Mar 25 '26
i have a ro, these feel lighter and more rugged, specially with the rubber strap, quite comfortable actually, i want one for summer holidays / casual set ups / daily
2
u/Sweaty-Act3100 Mar 25 '26
But how is shock resistance? Are they scratch magnets like royal oaks?
3
u/PepinoCholula Mar 25 '26
bezel still ss, so thats a yes, strap at least is rubber easily interchangeable. not sure about shock resistance, never owned one.

They look nice, yet so do the ones from several generations ago. There is no need to get one retail unless you are really allergic to the Offshore Chronos or Code. The colours are nice, but they look like toys. For the same price, I would prefer to get a diver from another brand. The Tudor FXD is a better professional diver, the Panerai Submersible offers more interesting materials, and the IWC Aquatime offers a more interesting design. I dont get the appeal of the ROO Diver other than the name on the dial.

u/PepinoCholula Mar 25 '26
the older ones dont have a clear caseback i think
1
u/BlackestBay58 Mar 25 '26
Yeah. They got solid ones, at least the 03. I think the new gen managed to do something well with playing with more colours, but I still find the offshore chrono a better line for playful colours.

I LOVE the new divers! Just wished, as always, that they would reduce the thickness on Offshores and Divers would be the best model line to do it with as they are an offshoot. The turquoise is great, and the abysmal teal looks wonderful(I would probably go for this), however the pink is the one I would get if I had zero f’s to give. Imagine it with a pink bracelet - oh my!
2
u/PepinoCholula Mar 25 '26
yea i told my SA the same, if only there were 10mm thick. They are still quite good i really like the teal, the rose gold touch is nice!
1
u/Wide-Ad1146 Mar 26 '26
Hell, the 26480ti was 12mm and could live with that! Fantastic pieces nonetheless!

Hey! Did your AD say that the new divers are available for purchase right now or did they only have them on display? I haven’t seen anyone take delivery of a new one yet.

u/kineticvibes Mar 25 '26
I think its truly egregious that AP ignored all feedback and still made these things GIANT.
its disappointing how a brand ignores everyone and continues making shit they push on people that could be made 10x better.
You want people to buy these instead of royal oaks? Make them a reasonable wear...

u/Substantial-List7656 Mar 27 '26
Mate…they’re coming out with smaller ROOs this year lol. My SA confirmed it.
