This is my first AP. I have a Patek 5726 (white) 5205 (black RG), WG Sub, Patinum DDII, SS Daytona (black dial).

Trying to decide between a ROO Safari or a Grey.

Based on what I have and look/desirability what do you say?

Sorry to hijack the thread but post a shot of the 5205 up in the Patek section. Would love to see that beauty :) Regarding your post my vote would be for Safari

Safari over old grey themes. If the new grey one then a lot closer call.

Not in the poll, but Panda Panda Panda....

I recently picked up the safari and have been so satisfied! The color combo makes it a really nice piece!

Safari is my pick

I really like the new updated Safari, that would be my choice between the two, but can't go wrong either way!

Seems like the Safari gives your collection more variety regarding color.

Agreed!

Tough call...I was looking hard at the new grey themes but I ultimately went with the older black themes. While I love the new upgrades to then new ROO's, the Gray looked a little washed out in my eyes. Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful watch and under certain light, it does pop. But in some situations, I found the dial a little muted and hard to read.

So my vote goes to the Safari. I never really considered it until I saw it in the flesh...it is awesome.
