Does anyone know how the sales of the new roos are going. Feel like there were more incomings with the 44mms then the new line up. I wonder if they are second guessing not putting ceramic bezels on there sport watches?

Was chatting with one of my AD's a few weeks ago, and said "it was not selling as well as they had hoped"--the entire 42mm line. For me SS bezel is a deal breaker.

yachty 1 · 12 October 2014, 03:50 AM

For me also. Everytime I smack my 44mm bezel I am grateful it wasn't steal. I can handle scratches on the side but on the bezel I would lose my mind. I want to size down but won't in till I see ceramic

They are very scratch prone... but still sexy!

Manofsteelpt · 12 October 2014, 06:54 AM

I like the old 42mm's better... But your right, don't really see a lot of the new lines incoming.

Soly20 · 12 October 2014, 07:30 AM

A ceramic bezel would have gotten me to buy one in a heartbeat.

watchdog507 · 12 October 2014, 07:41 AM

Just because we aren't seeing incoming here doesn't mean that they aren't selling. My local AD doesn't have many left, if any as of a few weeks ago. The gold ones sold out quickly. There are a lot of people who don't frequent forums but still buy watches. I like the new ones but had they had a ceramic bezel, I'm sure that they would have had a different welcome.

Deal breaker for me too😂 God knows why they didn't just do them with ceramic bez in the first place. I think they must release ceramic bez versions soon, especially in the gold pieces to replace the RC look with even better durability.

I actually like the finishing of the ss bezel, I am just not a fan of the new versions. Yes, they are more scratch prone, but my ss diver is still in great shape after almost two years. And I have two kids under three so it gets a workout! Now the ceramic diver is still perfect, but I like a little variety and if every roo had the ceramic bezel it would get a little boring in my opinion.

Least make it a up charge option

ash20 · 12 October 2014, 10:00 AM

No ceramic is a deal breaker for me, as well.

These new 42mm novelties do not have 100% in house movements, correct?

They have calibre 3126/3840, which IS in house. Same movement as 44mm ROO novelties.

The 26320 (RO ROC) doesn't have in house movement, it uses 2385.

Speed · 13 October 2014, 01:26 AM

Thank you. This set up is technically a chrono add on module, right?

Yes, base is effectively the 3120 with a Dubois-Depraz module.

Speed · 13 October 2014, 01:45 AM

Thanks again! Love this forum...So is this truly an in house affair? I should google...but did AP license or outsource the module? Now I seem to remember some of this story.

Ranfni · 13 October 2014, 02:17 AM

The ceramic bezel is the biggest reason I bought my. 44mm rg novelty. No ceramic bezel no deal.

I would say no (others may disagree), but the fully integrated chronograph is in the works.

s14roller · 13 October 2014, 08:53 AM

I think the 42 line up is still a great option for those starting into a ROO. I have since upgraded, but the 42 themes was a good way to start the journey.

kb24 · 13 October 2014, 06:47 PM

i like the 2014 ROO 42mm lineup and i think the company's direction is getting more stable with fewer variants / models and very few LE's however i feel the price of the new 42mm's are quite high compared to the previous ones which is why the sales could have been hampered a bit..

Randy · 14 October 2014, 08:44 AM

Unfortunately when the new ceramic bezel 42mm offshores are released, the updated ceramics will tank like a sinking ship.
