Tried on the new AP ROO Navy - thoughts?

What do you think? Tried this on in Selfridges...the navy strap wasn't on it (I think they didn't want it to get damaged/used or something). I'm trying to think about my next purchase to diversify my collection - right now I only have the Sub Date C.

I am also considering a Nautilus 5711 blue dial, but I have yet to be able to try this on! Trying to think about what I would wear most...the Patek would fly under the radar at least, the ROO - not so much (though it probably better fits with my "style").

This ROO retails for £19k here in London, but it looks like TRF sellers can get it to me for around £13k.

I like it but no ceramic bezel on a ROO is a deal breaker for me.

I recently tried one on. While the ceramic pushers and crown are marvelous (along with finally a exhibition case back) I prefer the looks of the last generation offshores better.

Love it! Have. Look at the slate dial too - that's my fave of the new lot.

I say it looks great! But nothing beats the 2014 ROO, IMO!
