Pre Owned ROO "H" Series (Old Model) or Pre Owned "i" Series (New Model)

Guys,

In order to avoid huge depreciation, I prefer to go pre owned...


Which one would you recommend? Pre owned ROO "H" (Old Model, year 2013) series or Pre Owned ROO "i" series (New Model, year 2015)...both in mint condition....Price difference is about USD 3.5K....

Thanks in advance for your advice...

Regards,

A few factors involved here. Which model ROO? Any service history? $3500 you can get a full service and still have over 2k left.

I series to my knowledge has the nice vertical brushing on the bezel which makes a difference IMO. Members who have owned both hopefully can confirm this

To me - honestly depends on the model and service history...

Is it the exact same watch?

More info needed! I generally would go for I series under warranty but the premium sounds high. Is this a 44? Or something PM?

I agree completely. I also like the sapphire case back. I know it sounds crazy to pay that high a premium for [mostly] aesthetic differences like that, but I definitely would.
