All ROO models have historically been 'sports' watches and big ones at that. Thus they are somewhat less versatile that smaller RO models.

Not that this helps the OP with regards to his 'safari', but it's my feeling that the existing 44mm ROOs are going to appreciate across the board, IF AP confirms that the 44mm has been retired.

Equally, whether the 44mm has been retired or not, I think the new 43mm is going to definitely change the outlook on the ROO range. The new 43mm model is both smaller and more ergonomic and best of all it is 'dynamic' in that the straps are easily changed at home.

There are some of us that change our straps frequently and thus get many looks from a single watch, but we do it with screwdrivers. The new system will take any trepidation about strap changing away and thus the possibilities of a single ROO to have many looks is endless. I believe that this feature will prove to be the defining characteristic of AP's 'Be yourself' theme for release in the summer.

Short answer = ROOs may well start appreciating at a greater rate.
