Ben, curious if you are also not a fan of the Offshores since Genta hated them when they first came out.

Nope, I see the ROO as a completely different line that evolved from the RO. Similarly, I dont have issues with the other variations of the RO such as ROC, ROs with complication or even the sportier 15300s and 15400s. They are just different.

But its a bit different for me as far as the Jumbo is concerned as I see the watch as perfect by itself and simply changing the material case to gold already feels off for me.

Hey, its just my opinion. If anyone digs the Jumbo in RG by all means go ahead to buy one. It's also a lovely watch.

I think it depends on your collection. IMO, gold would be added when all the others are in place.

I tried both on recently and prefer the SS. For some season the weight of the RG one seemed odd. Hard to explain that.

One is the icon, the other the gold version. Easy choice for me.
