blue is more difficult to match clothing.

Manofsteelpt · 16 July 2013, 12:08 AM

You RARELY see them on TRF, it's my absolute favorite (affordable) ROO.

Tell that to the watch industry. It seems blue was the new black at Basel!

<< OH MY

Whenever I have seen a thread with a navy ROO and something else at the same sort of price point like a panda or a rubberclad or a safari etc. the Navy tends to loose the battle as most seem to say its not as versitile as the others. In a rotation a navy ROO would be a great option and its a stunning watch in person, but I don't see it as easy as the others to match with clothing, if you worry about that sort of thing.

Navy and Volcano I see are often the cheapest Roos for sale so I imagine demands not so high for these. On ROs tho the blue is highly coveted and when it is associated with platinum - Novelty, DD2, Daytona etc.

Like the 'Hulk' - these color references are desired by people who love the colors.

Even the 'Bee' is in that category but there are more people to choose yellow compared to orange.

Blue is an awesome color - just not to be a main watch in a collection.

Watchguy69 · 16 July 2013, 07:49 AM

It's the only ROO on a leather strap I own. My favorite color, of course, sporty yet understated. Its unpopularity compared to the Panda means I rarely bump into another one, and that's alright by me. Cheers.

Manofsteelpt · 16 July 2013, 11:07 AM

^^^^^ well done!!!

smeowly · 16 July 2013, 01:24 PM

i think it'd look awesome if the dial was blue and the subdials white. then it'd be the blue themes tho...

mjrennie · 17 July 2013, 02:35 AM

It would be my first choice AP. Stunning watch. Magnificent.

kilyung · 17 July 2013, 02:37 AM

I like it well enough but wish the pushers and crown were black.

I would go one further and say also with black subdials and then you have the Panda, the most popular ROO, and probably one of the main reasons why the Navy suffers being so close to it.

BgJoe79 · 17 July 2013, 11:19 AM

I have a diver that picked up months ago an love it but ill tell you the truth I wanted the navy but couldn't get one at my price point but its a beautiful watch the next ap I get would probably be a navy love that watch love that blue but definitely got say the pushers should have been black would look a little better but that's just my opinion

jojosnr · 17 July 2013, 11:30 AM
