Another this or that thread
hi guys I have a dilemma, according to my wife I can only have 2 watches of "this price point" (she always exaggerates) 😂😂😂 I have narrowed it down to these 3 choices:
1. 26470or 42mm ROO Rose Gold on Strap (which I currently have) 2. 26401ro 44mm ROO rose Gold/Ceramic currently looking for one 3. 26078io ROO Barrichello in Ti of course I want all three, but that's not an option (according to my wife) What 2 pieces would you choose and why? Please help All input is good!! here is a pic of my ROO anxiously waiting for a partner!! 😂😂 maybe... maybe not 😂😂😂 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Well if you can only have two I would select your options 2 and 3 above. Trade/sell the 42 ROO. I much prefer the gold 44 and the limited RB in Titanium. You would have 2 of the best AP ROO of all time in different color/metal options. As an aside, you are not interested in Patek? I would strongly suggest their Nautilus model 5980 in any of their forms.

How about this. Go ahead to buy (2) and (3) first and promised wife to sell (1) later and then conveniently forget about it. On a serious note, (2) and (3) makes a great combination. Was never a fan of the RG ROO 42mm. Good luck! |

2 and 3 would be a great pair... Personally I would prefer the Schumi to the Barrichello....

Instead of (2), I'm going to suggest this for a similar sort of expenditure.
Net export price would be circa $37.5K (not including whatever extra you can haggle off), plus what you'll have to pay on import duty. You can see it next to a Schumacher model, which is comparable to the Barrichello one you're considering also. http://ap.watchprosite.com/?show=for...9148&ti=868818 |

I would keep the one you have as it is absolutely a stunner. Also add the 26401
In my opinion the pushers and dial and overall look of watch number 3 is less than desirable. What you have and the 26401 are sporty and classy. |

at 99% you'll get 2 and 3 answer, why? because both are awesome, the 42 is nice but not awesome IMO
