i absolutely agree and believe that the ROO line specifically has a lot in common with the RM automatic/chrono lines. in fact, i was even more impressed with the brand as a whole because of the APRP linkage, as well as RM not trying to be something he/they are not
i tried the RM011 in RG yesterday, i loved the presence but the dial was just too busy. i also have no use for yet another chronograph. i am most interested in the RM010 Ti, after doing extensive research and realizing it is the way to go - i found an RM005 Ti FM (ltd 300pcs) that is LNIB for a good price (i think), but after much thought it would be too similar to the BB in its feel for one thing; and more importantly, the RM010 is more skeletonized
i did find an RM011 Ti as well, so that makes an RM005 Ti FM and an RM011 FM found and have been presented with decent offers in 48hrs.. but no luck with the 10 Ti?

ps: i am not certain that any assembling takes place outside the RM facility. as i am under the impression that despite sourcing the movements (tailored to specific requirements) and parts (all from switzerland) from others, the assembly and overall finishing is done at RM

edit for the non-RM-inclined here are:
RM005 Ti FM (ltd 300pc)


RM010 Ti


good pics here to show differences between RM010 and RM005
