Best ROO on Rubber for a smaller wrist / any Ghost or Vampire

Any “Ghost” 26470IO or “Vampire” 26470SO owners out there? Share your thoughts and pics.
I’m considering a ROO on rubber. 44 probably too big. Thoughts on these 42 mm options?
I like the Ghost but wonder if it’s too monochromatic?

Both are beautiful. I would also consider a diver as it wears a bit smaller than the 42 ROO chrono. It's also a little slimmer.

Yes I am. The one I like is this :
For perspective my wrist 6.75 in if anyone is about the same would love to see some pics of ROO on your wrists.

I have the ghost and love it. It’s monochromatic which is why I got it. It takes on different shades depending on the lighting.

My wrist is 6.6-6.7 and flat FYI.

Looks great and we have similar wrist size. Was the stock strap ok size wise or should I get a small strap?

I'd go for the black and red, more dynamic and love the strap colours, have the same on my GP strap for my 44.

It’s very nice also. I kind of like the Grey because it is titanium / ceramic so should be light and comfy

Make sure you try them on first, I love the ROO design, I've owned two of them, but they just don't sit well on my wrist because of the large flat back/underside.

39mm Royal Oak was a much better fit.

I would toss a coin on the two you like. They are both great versions in 42mm.

Give the 44 a crack, even more comfy and balanced than the 42 altho obviously bigger, the TI 44 might just be for you.

They are gorgeous. Prefer the pushers on the 44.

Ended up going with the “Ghost” and I love it. The combo of the light case (titanium) and scratch resistant bezel (ceramic) in the 42 mm size is perfect for a smaller wrist imo.
It’s super comfortable on and really enjoying it. Also the greys take on different shades in various lighting. Overall very happy

A great choice ! The black and red is also lovely. The closest I’ve come to any watch making me want to trade up on the Diver.
