Saw this piece at Harrods today. Was not brave enough to try it on however.

Great review.. Too bad the price is not too great.. or rather it is great .. as in high... :)
Maybe heavy enough to provide daily weight lifting. Nonetheless--- beautiful piece |

So I tried this watch on at the NYC boutique and its AMAZING. The weight is almost hilarious, but I kind of liked it. It's likely the best on the strap...but the dial is one of my favorite dials I've ever seen in on a watch. I could see someone going to one watch with this honestly, well maybe that and a dress watch. The fact that there are only 50 and this is such a unique piece (though not due to any movement or anything) would make that kind of interesting.

Tried it at the Hong Kong boutique:
![]() The dial is really stunning in the flesh. It is comically heavy - but a good way to get some weightlifting in! |

As great as it looks, I simply can't imagine wearing something this heavy. I still think the Elephant is the nicest ROO in the current 42mm collection.

I spent some more time with this piece today and had it sized correctly so I could really determine whether the weight on bracelet is too much.
And the rest as they say is history......... |

Thanks Ken. Highly tempted now. Definitely changed my mind on its wearability!
