Well AP is out in the next watch merry-go-round. Tried on the black ROO (42MM) on SS bracelet and it is simply too long(54MM, I think) and the case size makes it for me - seriously misfitting. Grrrrr. It is beautiful!

So I tried on a RO chrono which is but 39MM and damn if the bracelet doesn't work. The style of the bracelet is such that it only bends so far, and it leaves gaps between the case edges and my manly 6 & 1/2 inch guns.

Man when I saw the black ROO I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.

That narrows it to the Blancpain FF flyback, Breguet Type XXII, and bringing up the rear - JLC Master Compressor Seals Chrono.

Life is so unfair. And my A/C is too cold. And the fridge is filled with loads of food that I'm not in the mood for. And it's a pain balancing so many bank accounts. And I only have a Blackberry, not an iPhone. And it's really hard to pick a watch to wear every morning. And the view from my 25th floor corner office isn't the best one on the floor. And I saw a guy today driving a Ferarri who clearly didn't deserve it. OH, and I head out to the eyeglass place to pick up a new pair of presciption Raybans to replace the ones that mysteriouly "disappeared" from my truck and there they are wedged between the seat and door jamb. So now I have 2 perfectly good pair of prescription Raybans. And AP is out.

LIFE IS SO UNFAIR!! :violin:

The ROO are seriousely nice watches, too bad they didnt work out for your size wrist! I have the reverse problem as the classy Royal Oak line is too small for my 7.75" wrists.

My wrists are a shade larger than yours (~6.75) and I thought it fit perfectly. My local AD actually has what he claims is ROO #1, as in the first one ever made (pre-production, unnumbered) and thats the one I tried. Pretty sure the specs are the same as current ones.
