AP ROO Owners, please chime in To those who have owned/own AP ROO (preferably the Rubberclad version), can you share with me reliability experiences with your watches? I am trying to compare the reliability of Rolex watches (10+ years of experience with many models) and the first AP I got.....

Interesting...are there other watches you would put in the "workhorse" category Gil?

it is pretty simple to determine. I unscrewed the crown on both of my watches and the royal oak is much more delicate then the rolex. I also had the rubber strap detach from the lug in the first three weeks of ownership on the AP. I think the rolex is more durable.

Thanks for the replies. Each has its pros and cons (Rolex is more robust and has an easier resell, AP has the "coolness factor" and exclusivity). Guess I was spoiled by the rock solid reliability of my Rolexes that I previously owned. All I can say about AP is that its "delicate". Live and learn.
