I am extremely excited that I got a call from my salesperson 2 days ago to inform me that the watch I want has been allocated to me. It's only just 2 weeks + after I showed my interest on the 43mm roo. And today is the day I bring my watch home! I was actually hoping that I could get it by year end, but well big surprise for me!

Excellent. Every variant that is posted on here makes this 43mm range look even better. Enjoy.

Lovely watch, congrats. Wouldn’t mind seeing a picture or two of the leather strap on your wrist if you can.

Sure I’ll do it later when I get back home 👍🏻

Aly_ · 12 July 2021, 09:42 AM

Huge congrats, that’s a great watch
And I agree, the Leather strap looks amazing, is that the second strap that comes with the watch or an aftermarket?

GW44 · 12 July 2021, 10:26 AM

Looks great.

First Grey I’ve seen in the wild.

It’s the second strap that comes with the watch. Very handsome shade of brown.

I hope really soon, every day I have been waiting by my phone for the text/call.
Dying to have it on my wrist after seeing all the photos.

Congrats! Is the dial a matte or gloss black?

The dial is not glossy. The squares of the dial are more like the Royal Oak dials (each square has a pattern). In addition, between the squares there is an x-shaped cross.

Ah, so similar to the matte of the 44s.

Neil it’s different to the 44 dial as each tapisserie square has noticeable vertical brush marks.

Yeah I see those grooves, but I was just checking if the dial was now gloss and I think it is the same matte, on the pic above with the light right on the dial the grooves even disappear.

DJH1977 · 12 July 2021, 09:31 PM

I viewed this piece Friday. The details of the dial are amazing. Beautiful one. Many congratulations!

macrowatch · 13 July 2021, 12:56 AM

My feeling, and others can correct me if I've got it wrong on the black dial (since I only saw it in passing while mostly focusing on the other colors), but in artificial light headon, it looks matte. But at an angle (not looking headon with bright natural light the grooves in the texture pick up the reflection and make it more glossy. I don't recall that being the case with the 44ROO rose gold black dial, but I've only held that watch 2-3 times, and never for extended periods of time outdoors.

Your observation is spot on! That is definitely the case and it’s due to the CNC milling on the dial vs in 44/42 versions where it was a stamped mega tapisserie dial. The latter results in a flat color profile.

With the milling, tons of light hits and bounces in different directions creating a far more dynamic dial depending on lighting conditions

I agree! It’s difficult to give a definite answer because of how the milling plays with lights. The dial actually even appears to be “holographic” in some angles!

Great observation!

How the dial appears in different angles.

Gawd dayum, really looking good on those photos there.
Could pull it off as a all black watch.
