Roo ti

Hi Guys ! Found a interesting looking ROO in Ti which I knew about but hadn't see in the flesh before. Wore it & loved it. Gives you the look without the heft. I wanted to see who on the forum owns it and has had experience with this piece before I really give it a closer look. Happy Thanksgiving Guys. 🍗🍻

I like this piece s lot. If it had s display back I would have gotten it instead of the new diver. I was hoping the new chrono or fiver would've been available in titanium. I love that metal for watches! Go for it if you like it.

The look and weight is awesome!!!

Was looking at the ROO Ti vs the elephant. Love the Ti but prefer the updated hands, ceramic crown/pushers and clear case back of the elephant. I think the Ti would also look better with a black date wheel. If the new elephant was made out of Ti and had a ceramic bezel it would be my perfect ROO.

Thanks @eal15 & @singe89, Jim & Everett. Agree with your comments. That's exactly it, the little things like black date wheel, display back & ceramic pushers is causing me to hesitate. Now for the pros. Love the Updated Ti bracelet, Arabic numbers and of course the Ti case not to mention the fire sale price. We shall see. Thanks guys.

Just picked this piece up 2 weeks ago. It has been on my wrist everyday. I love the way if feels and pictures don't do it justice because in person it's amazing. Just bought rubber band/titanium plots and titanium buckle(new style). Going to have the AP boutique in bal harbor change it out in a few months. I'll post pics when I do. If you can get it for a good price I promise u won't be disappointed.

The titanium gray themes is an excellent piece. Weight on the full titanium bracelet is simply excellent - makes the watch very versatile and "daily wearable" without being overwhelming. If I had to choose, I'd take the titanium over the elephant for the simple reason the titanium is more versatile. Thankfully, having both is an option.

Thanks Zack. Loved the pics & the observations. The daily wearability is my hugh concern and you have assuaged those fears. Lol. Thanks.

I had the Black themes with bracelet in titanium and loved it compared to the steel version, also I like the darker tone of the metal, is not much but noticiable and its also a warmer metal and easy to wear due to weight.

I sold the watch because at the end I felt it was too big for my wrist.

Love the darker shade of the Ti plus the lightness of it without compromising the look. Thanks for your feedback. Would love to see some pics.

I tried it once at a boutique i was expecting it to weigh like the stainless model but was blown away from how light it was, this its discontinued right now.

I personally think the dial is too grey and doesn't have enough pop...but keep in mind, it's the same reason I passed on the Schumi Ti...

Didnt they call this the grey panda at some point? Much prefer the regular Panda, but just my 2 cents.

See your point Jack, but what really intrigues me is the Ti case & bracelet and the everyday wearability because of it. I had the regular Panda on SS bracelet and it was way too heavy for me for everyday wear. I also love the black Arabic numbers I wish it had the black date wheel though. I haven't pulled the trigger yet waiting to see if the want goes away.

Totally get it, Sam. If it's a steal, I'd say why not...but knowing you, I doubt this piece would last very long lol
