Here's a comparison pic of the 44mm ROO next to a 46mm Bell & Ross and a 47mm PAM305. If you ask me, the 44mm ROO almost looks bigger than those two watches. They might advertise it as a 44mm watch, but it definitely wears more like a 47mm watch! Not that I'm complaining though...

Great pic... It sure doesn't looks like 44..

Porker · 12 March 2014, 03:29 AM

just saw this on your instagram - yeah they do wear big! Fortunately for me the lugs are almost vertical so they fit ok on the small wristed WIS

Having said that, the 41mm Royal oaks wear huge for their size too

Could you include the 42mm ROO in one of your pics? I've tried the ROC in 41mm and its too big. I may be limited to the 39mm ROC but wondered how much going to 42mm helps the ROO wear smaller

This is my 42mm RC alongside my 44mm PAM253

wow!!! i knew they were big, but, wow....

how's the thickness compared to the 305?

shnxx · 12 March 2014, 08:51 AM

nice comparison.
i could never pull that off.

Measuring the case from 4 o'clock to 10 o'clock is a bit of "false advertising" when it comes to the modern ROOC because that happens to be the smallest part of the case. When you factor in the chrono pushers as well as the lug-to-lug (L2L) distance, it certainly wears and feels like a larger watch.

Regardless, I think it is a stunning piece!

Great pic!

They wear very similar. The ROO is thicker but the 41mm chrono has a wider dial due to no tachy so overall very similar, so 39mm seems best for you.

It's big but it wears pretty nicely if one has a flat wrist.

Big is relative. Good is truth.

DreambreaX · 15 March 2014, 07:12 PM

its actually 48mm, nearly as big as hublot king power. the company use 44mm to sell. if they promote using 47-48mm people will mentallu avoid that

Jumping Jehoshaphat that's a big 'un.

Well, thankfully that AP - beautiful though it is - is too bloody large for me. I will admire it from afar.
