AP ROO sharing
Hi guys,I am so happy to share with you my first ever AP ROO Chronograph 'Black Theme'. It's a very beautiful yet elegant timepiece though not as eye catching as the Navy, Panda or Volcano version of the same model but a very humble one which will not catch too much attention at work.Here is some unboxing and wrist shots and I hope you will join me to share my happiness.I'm keeping the plastic on as I will wait to wear it on my birthday some months later.Cheers
