Yes, the black ceramic has vertical lines on the finish.

I prefer the colour scheme of the black version.

I think I prefer the new vampire over the ghost, but both are nice!

Saw both side by side. I prefer new vampire too. The ceramic and the vampire dial color looks much nicer in real life.

I prefer the Ghost over the Vampire. Titanium case and cleaner looking dial imo. Plus I feel I could wear it in more occasions. I wonder how it would look with a full titanium bracelet... anyone good at photoshop?

Ceramic bezel on the old panda dial would be perfect. Hoping for something similar at SIHH.

Maybe it's me but I can clearly see the full plastic wrap around the whole watch.. on your as well on DTNNS pics, and all other pics I saw from boutiques with new plastic protection :)

Thanks edo! Looks great. I will defiantly explore adding the Ti bracelet, and perhaps a black rubber one as well. My Ghost should arrive within the next week or so.

I’m still not feeling it. Maybe need to see one in person to appreciate it.

I got this watch in Paris today out of my expectation. I was actually looking for 2-tone Rolex GMT and found this unfamiliar beauty.

But it's a perfect ROO to me because of its light-weight case (more comfortable), ceramic bezel (not to worry about scratch), and the color scheme. So I took it, but still feel guilty for spending so much money out of plan, and therefore I haven't removed the plastic protector, yet.

The watch does look quite different in AD's light and outdoor.

Congratulations on the acquisition! Get those plastics off too and enjoy it.

Really keen to see both this and black/red in person.

Congrats, it is much better wearer than two tone GMT. I have both and surely ROO will take more wrist time.

Congrats! Remove the plastic cover and enjoy! Share some pics too without the cover. Should look much better.

Congratulations! This watch can look very different in different lighting conditions and photos. I think this is definitely a watch that one has to see in-person before buying, because of how different it can look in various photos. If the watch had the shades of grey in your photo all the time, I would probably have bought it!

DTNNS's pics are in full plastic wrap, while the upper plastic being removed in SSCosmo's pic (the bottom plastic was still attached).

This ceramic bezel would go nice with Elephant! Not sure if it is possible to buy separately and change steel one...

And congrats it is very nice watch!

The watch looks great in those photos. Seems like removing the plastic protector makes a big difference.

The light makes huge difference.

In boutique or AD, they use direct light with high brightness and it makes the grey ceramic look lighter. But in normal circumstances it looks much darker.
