Yes, that's the new one. And it's stunning. Whether you should wait for it thats really a personal choice. Can't help you on that.

But that is why I asked if the AD/boutique that has both of these has them at the same price or different prices. At the end of the day you still paid the same price for a brand new one that I offered to sell mine to u at which was 1 month old. So basically brand new.

To OP: If you prefer the new one then just wait. People I spoke to who already have orders for the new got 25% off so around 23-24k.

It's up to you if you want to spend 5-6k on a different color dial. I prefer the new one though. Doesn't hurt that it's cheaper.

Seriously? The new ROO with gold dial is cheaper than the one I'm considering?

Well this was a thread I started before but the whole question is, should the anthracite stay at the higher price or drop to the new one.

Some people say no, some people think no one will pay 6k more for a different dial. It's too soon to tell which way the market is going to go.

But yes, you can get the new ROO CE for like 6k less than the anthracite you are currently looking at.

They would pay more because it's a newer model and new dial... Am I missing something? Doesn't work like this in the watch world?

Def survivor - the other one is so plain and boring.

I like the survivor, but barring that I'll echo what everyone else is saying - the new ceramic is probably the second nicest non LE 44 ROO made after the platinum (but hey I'm biased). That'd be my move; I never liked the grey/anthracite dials.
