Last week I sold the ROO Rhone Fusterie and have a serious buyer looking at my "modified" Kill Bill ROO.

I have realized that I shy away from wearing ROOs that have the SS bezel as they look visually too large on my 7" wrist. I find myself more drawn to 42mm ROOs that have ceramic, Cermet or rubber bezels.

So I'll be down to these 3 for my collection. I may get an itch for the Ginza if one comes along at a fair price.

Do you gents think a Ginza would be a good addition to my collection of ROOs? Or is 4 too many?

Hi Ken, it’s a good collection or ROO’s plus your assortment of other watches, lol. The Jarno Trulli would never leave my wrist though : ). Three of them is just fine!

Nice trio!

Am I right in thinking the survivor is a DLC Ti case with ceramic bezel?

singe89 · 21 June 2018, 02:30 AM

Awesome ROOs but LOVE that Trulli

forged carbon, Cermet and Ti is the perfect AP combo.

Edit: I think the Trulli might be the best daily beater AP.
42mm
FC so light weight, comfortable and durable
Ti crown and pushers that wont wear like rubber or chip like ceramic.
open case back but gold rotor has the grey treatment to better match a dark watch
1 of only 2 models with the cermet bezel
very limited production of 500

Yes you're correct! The buckle and the crown guards are also DLC-ed titanium parts.

Great piece and nice to have something a little different in the collection!

Why not?

mspeed76 · 21 June 2018, 04:24 AM

great trio!

for me, if it doesn't have a ceramic or cermet bezel, i'm not interested

Trailboss516 · 21 June 2018, 04:43 AM

Great collection indeed. Thank you for sharing.

I think the Ginza is a cool watch!

bayerische · 21 June 2018, 06:42 AM

Nice collection. I too have the rubberclad. Love it.

Love the original OG RGRC and I do like the Ginza so can't put you off that buy, altho I think the new CEs could be right up your street Ken... if they exist!

AJM914 · 21 June 2018, 09:51 AM

Great trio!

aproo · 21 June 2018, 11:57 AM

Nice set of APs. Wear them in great health..!

I used to have the SS Ginza and it was the first AP ROO for me. Have not seen the new Ginza but i am sure it looks amazing as well.

lapince · 25 June 2018, 07:36 AM

Love the Trulli, I don't think I would add a fourth unless you add the ce or fc diver, one of them would look great, but I probably wouldn't add another, but that's me, except a few rare chronos like the Trulli I am not a big chrono fan, plus I find the two I cited cooler than the Ginza, but if you love chronos maybe not...

Very nice trio Ken!

G'ed · 26 June 2018, 07:11 PM

Now I have a question for you. If you, touch wood, really have to go down to single watch out of the three, which one will be the keeper?

Ckci · 29 June 2018, 11:37 PM

Gorgeous Trio.

gchee · 30 June 2018, 10:58 AM

Does AP make red rubber strap or is that after market?

CHOSEN1 · 30 June 2018, 03:00 PM

Nice

Tomas Eriksson · 30 June 2018, 03:18 PM

Great collection! I’m with you I’m the regards of black bezels on offshores. My ceramic diver is my most used watch two years in a row.

daveo5 · 1 July 2018, 01:01 AM

May I ask, how thick is the black model?

Great question. Without a doubt the Trulli would be my choice as it is the most versatile watch I've ever owned.

The red rubber strap is an original AP strap. It comes only in the 18mm width at buckle, FYI!

I don't know the exact measurement of the case height, but if I have to guess, it is 1mm to 1.5mm thicker than my Trulli.
