ROO triple play

The Vampire with its black ceramic bezel and subtle touch of color had been calling my name. So I couldn’t resist when the boutique said they had it for me ready to go. The Elephant was my first, and I still like a number of it’s features compared to the newer Ghost, which is nice also, but not seemingly as stealth IMHO.

Thank you, my friend. It was actually your wrist shots that pushed me to just do it! I had gotten hooked on the ROOs, and have been waiting for new releases because of a strong interest in a black ceramic piece. I guess I didn’t notice the Vampire earlier because I kept looking at 44mm, even though the 42mm fits great and more versatile. So out of curiosity I asked my boutique, and they had one they could get. That’s when I saw your comments and wrist shots which tipped the decision...it was that fast and recent :)

I was very happy when I actually got to try it on just today. So, thank you!
Enjoy yours as well in best of health and longevity.

I like the feel very much. I can imagine some others may say “top heavy,” but it’s not so like my all steel Elephant, which I like a lot too because of stealthy grey, plus I like to ‘feel’ my watches on the wrist. Still, the Vampire is great balance and color + materials combo. Will get proper wrist shots tomorrow, but EyeoftheTiger sports it the best!

Ouch, how do you choose? It’s likely picking a favourite child each time you wear one.

Nice family grouping though. Congrats.

Congrats, nice trio you have. I see you were swayed by 'eyeofthetiger' too lol... I also saw the pictures posted and have it on my radar too, never paid attention to it when seeing it on the website but the real life pictures on wrist it looks much nicer. Enjoy them!

If you like it in the pics , your gonna love it in person, I never paid attention to it either on the website, not even considering a ROO because of the size and bla bla bla, but in person it's absolutely amazing!
