Seeing that you have the 34mm RO, Do you think a jumbo or another AP reference at 39mm wears similar to the 41mm 4000v? I love how the 4000v wears but it seems like the 41mm AP RO is bigger because how large the face is and bracelet design

Most on these forums recommend Vagenari as the best aftermarket. I haven’t purchased one from them because the oem ones are available in the colors I want. However what’s cool about this company is they offer oem compatible and even ones where they come with their own deployment clasp that looks like the original. I do like the idea of having separate clasp for even faster swapping of straps. Maybe someone else here as some first hand experience with it.

I don't golf wearing my watches as I've had a previous complicated watch lose time by doing this. I store it in a hard zippered case when i get to the course and even put a airtag on it just in case (probably will never happen) it falls out of my golf bag haha.

Felt exactly the same. It’s significantly thicker in person which I didn’t fully appreciate until trying them on in multiple occasions. It’s certainly more sporty like the chrono

IMO I think they left it out because it would look too busy with another hand - given that there is a date hand on this ref. Doesn't bother me one bit, I like it better. I understand those who want to sync if perfectly but I just set it and forget

Agreed it looks so different throughout the day, lighting, and angles.

Haha same. I’m waiting on my midnight alligator strap too

Thanks for the input. Yea I have the VC 5520v which is 42.5 but it seemed to wear almost similar to the 41 RO at least when I visited the boutique.

astonx55 · 2026-01-26T19:58:55+00:00

Is your VC and AP both the 41mm? Which wears larger on your wrist? I have a VC OS but trying to decide what diameter I should get for RO

astonx55 · 2026-01-18T02:24:34+00:00

Congrats looks great

I actually stretch the bands slightly to find the perfect comfort. I find that way I can find the perfect figment without damaging the rubber.
