Thanks! You're asking the wrong person. I rarely wear a suit. Personally, I think of this as a more sporty piece. But I don't make the rules!

Unfortunately, it has been quite challenging over the last few years. There was a drastic change and significantly increased challenges trying to obtain limited or numbered production pieces.

As I mentioned, I was oblivious to this updated ROO. When I did some research, I found artist renditions, which did nothing for me. This piece needs to be seen in the metal to fully appreciate. Even now, I'm noticing more and more details that I never previously noticed when handling the exhibition pieces.

Hopefully, you will join the ranks as well?

I know! I know! I've been using many of your wrist shots as inspiration over the past several months!

Cheers, Gareth!

I can totally understand! I may start ignoring my other pieces since I'm obsessed with this ROO!

Congrats. Looks awesome.

I can totally relate. I stopped wearing my Rolex watches after I got my APs.
And am I way past the honeymoon period.

Congrats! Looks very cool. I haven’t seen the ROO 43 in person, but own a 321 and have tried on the DSSD previously. If you have some time would also love to see 321 vs ROO side by side shots!

Hey, that’s my pic! Welcome to the club and congrats on the beautiful piece. This ROO is truly one of my all-time favorites and gets the most wrist time out of any watch in my collection. Cheers!
