ROO LE 30th pic
Got to try on the ROO 30th at the boutique.
First time I was trying on a cerqmic, amazed at the finish and how light it is. Almost feels like it's fake. Whoever is getting them is one lucky customer! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That looks so nice! Would like to experience the ceramic case in person too.

Is it really that impossible to get…did you ask for one? It seems like a number of first impressions is that it’s expensive, not as versatile, and that people would rather wait to see the other coming ROO releases. Still, there is only a small number overall for customers around the world. |

I'm in that boat. Still waiting for that must-have 30th ROO, even though Beast and EOD are very nice. One impression I got is that for non-VVIPs it is helpful to be among the first to put in serious inquiries about interesting new releases, even if of course there is no chronological waitlist.

I was honestly amazed at how light it was and how incredible the finish is. My SA said it perfectly - it's a watch totally under the radar. Not at all flashy and 99.9% of people won't know you're packing a 60k watch. The only slight criticism I had was that the band seemed a bit "sturdy" and not as soft as the rubber bands of the other ROO. But I assume with more wear it'll change, they literally got that in just days before. I didn't even bother asking for it - not high on the food chain, so I "know my place". With 500 made, it'll go to some bigger fish |

Nice piece, but still think that taupe is by far best 43mm released...

I don't think it was embossed but it had a weird texture. Almost like jeans / carbony material feeling. Don't get me wrong the strap wasn't bad but likely just needs to be worn a few times to soften up. The entire case however was delicious. And so light it literally felt integrated since I am sure the strap on the side weighs as much as the case on top. Really balanced |

I was at the FUBAR premiere on Monday and saw Arnold and noticed he was wearing the new "End of Days" ROO. Looked great on him.

Seems I am wrong! Just watched his MensHealth interview and he talks about his AP which he said was a brand new special edition "Arnold Classic" offshore. looks very similar to the new "end of days" one.
