Any Volcano owners out there?

Looking for overall impressions of the Volcano. From what I have read pictures just don't do it justice

It is one of these watches i regret of selling. i enjoy it as much as the 44mm RG. doesnt look too odd even paring it with suit & tie once in a while

It's an interesting watch - just have to L O V E the orange... personally, can't see how one doesn't get tired of a powerful color after a while.

Unlike the bumble bee, it's harder to match the orange color than yellow.

Just feel that the orange used does not serve this ROO well aesthetically

I would never trade mine. The fine detail is accented by the great contrast of colors. I love it

Hey Alfred, it's time you pull the trigger on a Volcano
You have been in love with it long enough.

A very bold looking watch. But I can't get over the fact that all these current generation 42mm ROOs ( Navy/Panda/Volcano) have little or no lume.

Ah you're directly referencing the Volcano lume and not all 42mm ROO.

Very valid point for a sports watch no Lume is just not right

Pretty cool watch, but not sure if it really "works" with a suit : )

ok i'm a bit confused...

for the 42mm ROOs is it safe to assume only the following have lume:

themes, diver, rubberclad, RG rubberclad, bbee

I assumed there was no lume on my panda. Then one night in a very very dark hotel room I could see very faint lume on the face of my watch. I think therefore Pandas do have lume but its just not very effective (NB I was sober)
