Only offshore in collection

Soooo I am finally gonna take the plunge and buy a ROO 44 next week. The only problem is that I haven't decided which after two visits because I love both of them. I would be wearing it almost daily along with my rolexes. While one is total comfort I think the other is more versatile. So what is your opinion?

26400SO (Panda) or 26400AU (Forged Carbon)

Would be my one and only ROO.

Between those I prefer the panda. Any reason you’re fading the all ceramic? Best of both worlds.

I'm fortunate to have multiple 44's in my collection but still find the panda quite stunning and versatile.

From those 2 I would also go Panda.
Have a look at the CE and Ti though. Both really good options too.

I have 2 ROO, the IO (titanium) and the RG Camo, and I have to say the IO with a black rubber strap is the most versatile daily watch I own especially since its so light. It is a shame that the stock strap of the Ti is one of the worst gray straps there is and makes the watch very bland but with a black strap its just the right level of color contrast and sportiness.

Actually never seen it in person! But thought if it was an all black watch it might be the FC. But I am gonna definitely consider it too! Thanks!!

Yes, check out the anthracite dial CE, very nice piece. Some nice pics might follow from owners.

Those look amazing guys! Specially with the black strap. The grey dial doesn't sing to me as much as the Panda, but I can see it is a very versatile watch. And a spectacular one of course!

the gray dial is a sleeper---excellent for a low profile for daily wear. and sparkles in all the right ways in an understated way. it looks 100x better IRL than pics for some reason. also the original strange gray with a hint of brown strap is what kills it in retail. i have no idea why they ship it with that strap or why they even made such a strange gray strap to begin with.

and the black rubber strap is the real winner. so comfortable...I also have the RG camo on white strap but that is a load statement watch. if i had to get rid of all my watches and keep one, it would be the Ti. and don't forget how light it is. i could not wear a heavy watch every day....

I’m toss up between rg/panda/ and the platinum. Wish I bought them all when they were available new.
