Here's another ;)

I already have the FC Trulli in my collection so I am going to add the SS 44mm ROO if I can pull it off. The FC 44mm ROO was under serious consideration prior to the decision to go with the Trulli.

The PT 44mm ROO is other worldly too! But price is a major barrier for the time being.

I like where your head is at, but similar to what Cru says below, the RO doesn't have the bold look I'm going for.

And thinking I'll hold off on orange for exactly that reason.

I did just look at a few and they are all really nice watches. I really liked the ROO 42mm chronos. Most specifically the blue on blue.

I do realize this is just a typical diversion for me. Going to take my time for once in my life.

Checking out Chad's elephant is pushing me in that direction.

AK797 · 30 March 2016, 04:26 AM

Orange PO is so much nicer on the wallet

, and Chadri's Elephant had me trying on one as well, my fave of the ROOs.

Islatate · 30 March 2016, 05:08 AM

So I just tried on my friend's SS 44mm ROO and unfortunately it did feel too large on my wrist, especially when I compared it next to the 42mm Trulli.

Back to the drawing board. Maybe a Grey Themes is next, after seeing that amazing photo of Chadri's Elephant.

superdog · 30 March 2016, 05:52 AM

It's the pushers. They really make it "feel" big.

You're absolutely right on the oversized chrono pushers. Even though the 44mm ROOs are too large for me, I still believe their own masculine design is unbeatable.

Im thinking this might be a great option.

But everyone I see on chrono is on rubber. This is leather. And I can't tell if the arabics have lume.

Anyone have any experience with this watch?

My TI APROO was very light. Sold it during a divorce but a great watch. I would prefer the 44mm on rubber when buying again.

Seth, I would not recommend this as a daily. Being that its PVD SS, every nick and scrape is going to look worse than it is. Just my .02, but I'd look at a diff ref.

Agree with Mike ... plus you tend to flip often ... this might not be the best piece for that as is a little too niche. Looks great though.

I beg to differ ... it looks fantastic! There is some shock when initially trying it on but there is definitely shrinkage after a while

You will get used to it in no time.

benlee · 30 March 2016, 10:01 AM

Ceramic Diver is a great choice for a daily. Comfortable, relatively understated and a good size.

VICI · 30 March 2016, 10:04 AM

I would not have a problem wearing this everyday 🍻

busytimmy · 30 March 2016, 10:04 AM

I would go 15202 for the thinness

Thanks Serg! You're a master enabler. I was worried for a second there at the mention of "shrinkage".

15202 as a daily is my number one choice as its a little smaller than the normal AP RO and thinner helping with the weight factor.

Beautiful shot Alex. Contrast of different materials and such vivid details combine to produce an amazing dial

superdog · 31 March 2016, 05:04 AM

Ive got to say, I'm liking the gold cases.

Considering how few people would have any idea what I'd be wearing, I'm starting to think about going that route.

PrinceT · 31 March 2016, 05:06 AM

Royal Oak 15400 Silver Dial.

Agreed. My 15400 is a great daily. Also, for the days that you are worried about scratches you can grab your Omega and you don't have to worry!
