It looks bigger on me than my all black forged carbon 44 but it’s a gorgeous piece all the same. The dial is a beautiful smoked gradient but the gold bezel might not be practical for daily wear. Thoughts?

I could wear it. But it’s too loud for my eco-system, in terms of the size + gold. I once wore “The Beast” which is the original titanium offshore, and it got a few nods in Singapore, from watch collectors. I would prefer the AP Bartorelli Scuba over this piece.=D quirkier, rarer.

which is fine but my ROO forged carbon all black is way better for my life and style. Also, this one is quite heavy, even with the ceramic case. Mine also looks way smaller on the wrist.

I like ROO’s most of them. Beautiful but not overpowering like a giant watch. It is just a little more muscles than an RO, perhaps like a Jean Claude Van Damme type of comparison.

Like it so much. Restraint + flamboyance. Classy proportions. Look like with anything on, beach wear, swim trunks, business wear..yes, but I cannot afford it. Yes again.

but I would wear it happily, although it’s also quite heavy and you’d have to be very careful to not mar the finish. Gorgeous chocolate dial 👍

I’d rather have a chunk of gold bullion, and a non precious material ROO
