Any first hand experience with the ROO Blue Diver
Anyone own or at least have some firsthand experience with the blue Diver? I'm looking at options since the CE is too difficult to find and I'm curious on how it looks in person.

I like this watch and am considering it. I’m very interested in seeing it on the yellow strap that it comes with. I’ve been told that this piece is no longer boutique only. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’ve seen it once in the shelf of my AD. Personally I’m not too big of a fan for the blue Diver. I would opt for the regular black. I would also consider the ceramic as well (although I haven’t seen it in person). If the ceramic is the one you want, I’ll would continue to hunt for it. It’s part of chase and hunt that makes the purchase just that more special.

I think the colours clash too much for me.

I tried on the blue one and the white one, and ending up getting the white one. IMO the White/Blue one is the best looking and most versatile out of that "Funky color" group.
Regardless of color, this is not a comfortable watch for wrists smaller than 6.5". Mine is at 6.5" and it feels BIG. |

I’ve tried it on, it’s nice. I was looking for something colorful/fun. In the end I didn’t think it was worth the premium over Rolex Hulk so I went with that. My buddy has white dial Diver, that bezel takes a beating. If I were to get a Diver, the blue would be it. Seeing grey prices on it now make me regret passing on it at the boutique in Vegas at MSRP

I like it, but also feel like it is "a bit much".
I'm afraid my personal honeymoon with this version of the Diver would be very short.
