I misspoke. I should have said steel colored. Yes, I know titanium is slightly darker, but close enough .

Curious: what's your vote for a FC watch? (My question from bottom of previous page.)

Elephant for me by far. But the diver is becoming more and more attractive due to the large sweeping second hand (have owned too many sub dial watches).

Do the 42mm Diver and 42mm ROO share the same case? As in, do they have the same wrist presence (obviously minus the chrono pushers)?

Chrono case is a tad thicker overall, but nothing you would notice.
Otherwise dimensions are the same, and same wrist presence!
