ROO Steel vs FC

Hi guys. Welcome to another weekly poll. If both had the same price, which one would you choose and why? Also, is it true that FC Bee is really hard to come by? Or is it the ROO SS 44MM ?

Happy to hear your thoughts.

Diver bee for me....I prefer the 42 size and lack of the 44's pushers.

If both are of same price, sure will get a FC NQA, simply because its more unique and more eye catching

I'd go carbon chrono. Not a fan of the yellow.

The 44mm anything is the way to go. If anything, I would compare that Diver to 44mm FC...now you are talking.

I do like the 44mm SS because of the way it pops, but a tich heavy for me.

The 44mm FC is light weight and still has a strong wrist presence.

Id take the FC 44mm, then FC Diver, then 44mm Panda, the last just lacks a bit of personality for me, much prefer the 42 Panda.

The only problem with the 44 FC is that it's too black. The FC Diver is nice but I dont know about the yellow. And last but not least the 44 ss is a bit more conservative? Mmmm

Yeah I agree, theres parts of the FC and SS and RG Novelties that I like but not one that is just perfect to me and really stands out as a definite buy.

I think that ROO looks nicer than that diver.

ROO looks better in my opinion but I picked the Diver because it doesn't have the chrono module, I'm still holding out hope for an integrated chrono movement on the ROO.

This is a tough one b/c I can't vote for both. I currently own the SS ROO 44 and I now have the Diver Bee on the way.

44mm. I like larger size and the way the contrast of colors makes it pop.

The FC is a sexy beast. I just prefer 42mm for AP's though.

The diver, as i can't pull off the 44mm size. From the looks perspective, chrono by a long shot.

If you can pull off the 44mm, then the 44 is a no brainer.

I agree ...

But if FC44 had a touch more contrast, things could be different :)

I love the FC in every model especially the 44. But the problem is it's so black it blends with every other cheap black watch you see in the wild. I would go with 44 SS because of the eye catching contrast.
