So as when I was pretty sure I'm getting my greytheme roo I went to the AD and happen to see this ROC it was stunning. It is different to the roo definitely but price wise I'm offered a similar price (almost the same) I like the Roo a bit more but the bracelet on the roc got me thinking about getting a bit more bang for the buck and wondering if the roc would hold it value better?

I was in a similar position. I wanted and bought a roo. Specifically the diver. But seeing the roc in person made me want ringer one of those. The dial and the flatter edges on the bracelet got me. So when an I house chrono get phased in and I have a few other pieces in mo collection I plan to trade the diver for a roc chrono vs the roo diver. What else do you have in your collection?

Thanks,

I think the ROO is much more sporty, love mine. Especially on a rubber strap. The elephant looks great on the black rubber or grey diver strap... I like the ROC in black as well, for me its more formal. The roc also looks great on the rubber strap which sports it up a bit as well.

For me it would be the ROO then i'd prob add the ROC. I recently tried on the same watch at the boutique while trying the 44 ROO...

Either way good choice.

It's a hard decision. Love the ROC but lack of a true in house movement is tough to swallow at this price point. Pre owned the ROC sells for low teens. I have seen them for $13-15k. I love the bracelet on the ROC. am debating one for myself.

It's a tough one, I have owned both. I would go with a ROO now as I prefer PP for slimmer dressier watches, but the AP bracelet is hard to resist.

So currently I have the ceramic green sub, 2 tone gmt ceramic, grey slate dial datejust ii, a corum bubble roulette, and a few black dial watches I'm debating between trading the datejust ii or the gmt more leaning to trading the dj2 which I really really love.

Thanks true the roo is really sporty which on rubber strap would be really nice and comfortable and that's exactly why it's hard!

The bracelet is a killer! but yep that sound like a great plan.

Hmm, I've never seriously consider pateks to be honest other than the 5980

RHIII · 25 April 2016, 02:23 AM

They are both GREAT watches and I've worn them both as my daily wearer over time.

I'm a BIG fan of the ROC - it's very classy, can be dressy or sporty and the bracelet is amazing.

The ROO - is much more sporty - but can be dressed up as well (in my opinion) as I worn mine often with a suit.

It just depends on what overall look you're going for. They are different references but overall very similar price-points. In terms of holding value -- they are very similar -- but I wouldn't use this metric as one to make the decision more than the one you REALLY like to look at.

Just my .02 --- Good luck!!!

With that collection, I'd get the chrono. I do love the bracelet and I love a chronograph!

For months I was always dead set on the ROO diver.

I tried it on at an AD/boutique multiple times for almost a year.

The final time, I was in the NY boutique, and tried on the ROC.... it was set.

The ROC just sat perfect on the wrist, and was a nice middle ground in thickness/size between the 15400 and the Diver.

I would argue the ROC is a more versatile wear. You can put a rubber strap on the ROC and turn it sporty as well.

JJ WA · 25 April 2016, 04:10 AM

The grey ROO wins hands down here. IMHO, it's one of the best sports APs, and yet it keeps a unique versatility and wearability compared to other 'purely sports' models. Leather, rubber, bracelet... It rocks in all options.

csi-n · 25 April 2016, 05:32 AM

Difficult choice as they are both great watches. If the bracelet is what's swaying you, keep in mind that you can put a bracelet on the ROO as well.

watchucallit · 25 April 2016, 05:44 AM

I went with the ROO and the basis was primarily a stupid reason. In retrospect-- I kind of wish I would have gone with a ROC. Honestly they are both great choices. If i would have gone with ROC -- maybe i would have said-- darn should have gone with the ROO. LOL I considered getting an ROC now but I am saving for another AP ---- :) --- well have a deposit and waiting for delivery, one I have been admiring for some time.

I think you cannot go wrong with either choice--- I have a small wrist and the thickness of the ROO gave me concern but it is nicely balanced and I have no issue with the size.

For me it's a question of application. I wear lots of shirts and smart casual attire. For this the roc suits perfectly

Hairdude1 · 25 April 2016, 09:52 AM

ROO gets my vote

benlee · 25 April 2016, 09:56 AM

Depends if you want it more dressy ( ROC ) or more sporty ( ROO ). I am kind of a movement snob so the ROC lack of an in-house movement is a negative for me so I will go for the ROO especially with the open caseback and ceramic pushers. That said, even the current ROO isn't completely inhouse as the chrono movement I think it's an add on.
