My vote goes for the ROO themes titanium. I tried that and the Bumble Bee on at my AD last month and I loved how light it felt.

What else do you have? That may swing The decision.

The bumblebee is amazing, the themes goes with everything and the diver.... It was the only one I could afford so hat's the one I have.

I had the AP ROO SS Themes, sold it and boght a 15300 and Diver. You pictured the Ti Panda, I really like that one. Never really loved the Bumblebee, have you seen the new Ceramic ROO's and CF ROO?

Knowing this I'd say Diver or 15300/15202 since you already have two 44mm ROO's

Thank you guys... That's what I'm thinking to get the diver. I love the look on the bumblebee though. Also I always love chrono watches.
I think I'll get the diver this time.
Next plan bumblebee , then the themes bracelet. Yes ... Next time since I'm out of cash now.

One of the member has AP diver with bracelet. Very cool looking watch. But the price would be to expensive just to change bracelet.

The shop I work for has just become an AP AD :)

Of those I'd go for the Bumblebee. The Diver's nice but for the price I'd want something a bit more exciting. The bee is more expensive but it's got a lot more wow factor along with the chronograph.

Can't really go wrong with any of them though. I want a RO Skeleton but £25000 for a steel watch - eek

Bumblebee for sure! So cool and amazing!

u've got SS & RG, so go for Forged Carbon + Ceramic bezel / caseback + PVD coating!
