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!

That looks so good on the wrist!
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.
