I had one on my wrist once and you just have to try it on to appreciate it. It was the most comfortable watch I've ever tried on. It's an amazing piece, IMO
Yup, the AP ROO has variants that come with rubber straps, and yes, they are unique. I've tried on a few and each one has been supremely comfortable, despite the heft of the case, and the deceptive apparent slenderness of the straps.

I'd own one if they still carried the JLC movements inside. The new AP movements have been plagued by problems, and would be best to let them 'blood' before jumping on board. That said, the design doesn't do much for me, but oh, to have a JLC powered AP
