Very early ROOs in funky colours

What do we think - I think the bright coloured ones are really fun?

Or am I nuts?

Here's the gallery:

Not really my cup of tea. They look like a line up from the Michael Kors collection.

With the upmost respect: You're nuts !

But to each is own. If this is a project that excites you, then go for it. It will certainly be unique and have some history to it.

Oh lord! I wouldn't put it past you to find them all roger

I think they are pretty cool actually. The idea that the ROO is becoming a modern classic is quite interesting.

I suspect it would take some real patience to get all 7 coloured versions (excluding the PVD versions the gold versions and the regular black/blue/silver/white dial versions). A few around on chrono24 but I suspect finding full set items of fairly rare 20 year old watches will also be a challenge. I reckon if you did track down all seven AP would be happy to send you new papers as they would probably be impressed you had the full set.

The "End of days" one is very nice, the rest... Not so much.

I like a few of them, but as a whole they aren't for me.

Personally, I have always liked the end of days. Would I buy one? Not sure but I really can see the attraction.

Some I like, some not so much. Cool and challenging project for a collector though.
