Which ROO for a 2nd AP watch.

Hi, I already have an RO 15300 blue dial and I've been thinking of getting a ROO. My choices are down to the black dial Rubberclad and the black themes. 1st choice is the rubberclad since It's more sporty and the rubber bezel breaks away the monotony of having two steel bezels. But for some reason I also find the black themes elegant and sporty at the same time more versatile. Want to hear your thoughts about it before I decide and pull the trigger. Thank you very much.

For black dial either the RC, as the quintessential ROO, or the Diver, as the one with the most sizzle.

I prefer the rubberclad out of your choices, but you can't go wrong either way!!

I have a black dial 15400, and used to own a white dial 15300 and a Diver.

If I were to buy a ROO it would be the black themes, Diver or Panda (in that order).

The black themes is hard to beat in my opinion! I like it a lot better than the FG or Ceramic ROO.

I feel like the black themes is just very black. Very monochromatic.

Between your choices, I'd go RC.

Or get the 'panda' 44 if u can

Look around a bit. The ROO line is meant to be uber sporty and the ones you named, although nice, don't scream Offshore....IMHO.

I will say try the diver as well and if you appreciate movements, the 3120 in house movement is certainly more appealing than a JLC based movement (which is amazing) sandwiched with a chronograph module from Dubois Depraz..Now I'm not sure if the new offshore novelties are already using 3120s with a DD module or which older offshores are already using them..
