I think the steel one looks the best out of all of them...

Personally, I think they are all too large for my wrist, so I wouldn't buy any of them for myself. YMMV...

I regret not doing more searching for the ROO 44mm in RG. I love that watch but at this point I couldn't really justify owning a watch like that. Maybe a few years down the road ill pick one up but I need to continue my baby steps up the hierarchy of watches. I was so happy when I got my SS, as I should be as I really cut back on on some of my other insanely expensive hobbies. I quit taking our boat way off shore to only once or twice a month. I quit spear fishing tourneys, etc. My wife talked to my uncle about getting me an 18 day African Safari in South Africa. As part of wedding presents. My wife will go as the spectator.

Can't wait to see pics of your FC 44mm once you get it :-)

I went with the FC, I do like the RG a lot, but it's big buck. Congrats on yours, looks great!

Thanks Mike and hope everything is ok with you and your family given what Sandy did to your neck of the woods.

Bulliondesk · 1 November 2012, 11:23 PM

Light weight.. fits perfect (not too big like the Schumacher) .. great overall design. Forged Carbon looks incredible in different lighting! Looking at the dial is as if I am looking at the dashboard of a Ferrari.

Love my GPC.

NoyB, Is the MS small enough for you?

Hahaha!

I wonder if the poll results would change if the Novelty Platinum was added to the mix..........

The RG 44mm novelty would lose one vote

Just kidding....the platinum novelty is to die for and even better now that this price makes it a little more obtainable. At $100K+ before the price decrease it didn't warrant me listing it as part of the poll. If I did the poll now it will probably be included.

AK797 · 4 June 2013, 11:46 PM

Id vote Novelty Plat as well. Its between this and the RG Schumi for my ultimate ROO.

conkers · 6 June 2013, 10:39 PM

I don't get to wear mine very much sadly, which is one of the reasons I have sold so many watches recently. No point in having them if you don't wear them!!

Boy, was I wrong about this comment I made awhile ago. I don't know if I just got used to the larger watch trend, or if my weightlifting increased my wrist size, but the 44mm fit great on me now...

Happens to all of us and it looks fab on you!

Love the MS and I have my aim on it.

nishant · 9 June 2013, 05:28 AM

ROO RG 44mm is just gorgeous !!!! If money is not a problem, it is the one to get !

Demonoid · 9 June 2013, 06:06 AM

Sometimes plain old ss are the most popular models.

salihy · 9 June 2013, 07:46 AM

44mm ROO Rose Gold (26400RO.OO.A002CA.01) is 42,995 USD not 61,200 USD.

It was $61,200 USD when this poll was posted (8-23-12). Thanks for the painful reminder.
