I have no idea where the Goliath comes from, and I have no idea either about when these pieces actually get or got on the market.

Yes, the colours are quite out of the ordinary, but the orange and blue actually match the Oceanografia logo colours, so it did make sense in that context. And even though they're certainly not the most inconspicuous watches, isn't that really the goal of most ROOs, particularly the LEs? I kind of like them, and I'm sure many will like them for their collectibility and/or rarity.

For those who want more details, the specs and more pictures are online on our site, but I don't think the rules here allow me to post the link. Someone else can probably do it.

Did they make the two sub dials blue just so they match the blue strap?

Not surprised they decided to dump that project

I'm a Broncos fan and no way. Maybe some Auburn Tigers or Florida Gators fans / alumni will buy them.

I thought ap is stopping the rubber buttons ?

Its not bad, I'd personally never buy it. Unless I can change the strap and orange to it. Put a denim strap and keep that navy chrono

The Goliath models were designed before the new ceramic button ROOs, so they still have the rubber buttons.

Why do they make stuff like this? Why can't they just do normal stuff like a blue dialed diver? Or a destro diver so the inner bezel has more function?
