Argentinian Rose

Sep 25, 2011,17:21 PM
 

Just wanted to share my first AP pickup this fall: the AP ROO Pride of Argentina LE in Rose Gold.

Love the blue dial, solid numbers and especially the brown rubber pushers and crown.  Can't wait to put this on an OEM brown rubber strap to match the pushers.
The blue dial is really nice and complements the rose gold perfectly.  The dial hue can change based on lighting from a midnight blue to almost a royal blue in direct sunlight. The dark brown croc strap with contrasting blue stitching to match the dial is a nice touch. I already have a rose tang buckle that I am about to swap out with the OEM deployant for a better fit.

I have been searching for the perfect all rose ROO (including bezel) for a little while now and looked at all of the LE's that fit that criteria (including the Ginza, JayZ, Russia, Mexico & Ramon).  I ultimately narrowed my choices down to the Argentina and Don Ramon but couldn't find a Ramon near me to check out in person, so I pulled the trigger on the Argentina.  Candidly, the Ramon is still lingering on my mind (crazy how that works right?), but this will more than suffice for now ;-)

Here are some lazy pics I took earlier

Enjoy,

Dave

I do like the Jay-Z... but I think this definitely has one over on the Ramon. Blue dial with rose gold? If someone had described it to me I would have said "No way!" but it looks fantastic
