The new 43mm ROOs are now on the website

I’m curious to hear if anyone has tried one on yet.

They've been on the AP site since the March launch, but they aren't due for delivery to clients until September, so we aren't likely to see any IRL much before then.

As the case/bezel/crystal is curved I think it’ll wear smaller than it’s size.

Very interested in one of these. A slightly reduced size is perfect for me. Likely I am going to sell my Ceramic 44 which I don't wear much.

I was able to try a blue and gray yesterday at the new Taipei Boutique (not in the 101, near the newest Apple store).

The blue is a demo piece that the SA said was not for sale, they've had at it a few days. The gray had just come in yesterday and was for sale, but I guess not for me.

I'm a new customer and we chatted for about 45 minutes. I was really torn between the two colors but after trying them I like the gray a bit better. It was a good chat and I politely asked to buy the piece, but its a no go for now. I hope it won't be long, I did get the impression that they were looking for new customers who were really interested in the brand. Also, I guess the wrist sizes tend to run on the smaller side here because the SA couldn't stop talking about how well it fit me. She said many she sells don't actually look good on the client. She was also very clear that they won't ask anyone to buy another watch, I found her to be genuine.

Some photos...(wrist measures about 7.25 cold and almost 7.5 on a hot day, I'd say here it was somewhere in between)

When I saw these after the announcement they turned my head in a way the previous models didn't. Trying it on, the attachment got even stronger. It just felt so good on the wrist and I'm wondering why I wasn't paying closer attention. The photos are kind of crap, sorry, but it looks better from a distance.

Great review! Looks good on your wrist, the size and everything. Hope you will be able to score one soon! Btw this thread is about the 43mm ROO you could post again in the the diver post

Crap, my bad folks, if a MOD wants to move this over to that thread please do. I'll try to post it over there later if not.

But the all ceramic 44s are uniquely awesome imho. Do you not wear your 44mm because it is a bit [awkwardly] big on your wrist, or such a big watch doesn’t fit into your daily lifestyle?
I have a titanium/ceramic model which I figure will be distinct in my collection compared to any new 43mm ROO.
Thanks.

Several reviews mention "sapphire crystal curved from 6 to 12 o’clock seamlessly fits the curvature of the bezel " or similar descriptions. Didn't see a profile picture to confirm.
