ROO Ti on black rubber

I've had a few members ask for better pics of my Ti on the black strap so here you go







GP pics once the new tang buckle arrives.

Looks awesome!!! For such a large sport watch the lightness is the way to go over SS imo. Would you mind sharing the RRP over here? (In PM if you want) I have tried but can't find it anywhere.

Looks good sam. A bit more aggressive on the black.

Think the grey makes a nice summer wear but do overall prefer the black, I'll see if my opinion changes once the GP goes on.

totally off topic but does it bug anyone else that the grooves on the 44 straps are not straight?

They are straight on the 42mm divers but not on the 44's. Surely it can't be that hard to make a strap with straight grooves.

truthfully they both look awesome. Im keeping grey because its pretty unique for a strap on any watch to be grey however the black does pop a bit more.

To be honest never noticed that until now! I don't mind either style but see what you mean.

Especially when the GP is straight

Thank you and yes even though I prefer black the grey will be a nice change up for the summer when the GP's no use.

How do you mean, not straight? The grooves have a curve to them but that's part of the design and I think very appealing.

the rubber diver strap from the plots, the grooves go straight down all the way and on the rubber 44 straps they go straight from the plots and then flair inward and then go straight down again.

Both straps have the same look except that one detail. I do think the straight ones look better.

ROO 42mm grooves run from plots straight down


ROO 44mm has a slight kink as the grooves run down

I see. Personally I much prefer the curved style of the 44 grooves to the straight of the 42. A much more visually pleasing and interesting design in my eye, which I'd not change.

Tyler I now understand how you can have the Ti and SS Diver the details I thought would be subtle are glaring obviously and give for two totally different looks

I know many love the ceramic finish but there's something to be appreciated with the more visual SS bezel.

I think us 44ers are paying more for those groovy grooves. They're a bit more interesting.

Don't like it on black - much prefer grey as perfect color & contrast for this watch.

I have black, blue and grey for my ce diver, now it's on the grey, I still think the grey strap looks a little cooler with grey than black, the ce diver makes a little too much black so I like thebchange, but grey is perfect for the 44 TI, really warming up to getting one with the cash from the 15300 and a little bonus. Need to see at how much I could get it. What is the retail on that one? Around 32k USD?
