Difficult decision - Take Which One - RB2 or White Ceramic ROO Chrono
Life at times can be difficult when I have the budget for one exclusive AP ROO and I have been presented with these 3 ROO - Grand Prix, RB2 Ti and white ceramic chrono. Spoke to 2 AP collectors, one go for white ceramic because it's already known to be discontinued, and the other friend, RB2 for sure. None picked the GP. For myself, the RB2 is the iconic AP and have read nearly all users reviews, thumb up. I have dream of owning one, and I don't think buying a RB2 will lose over the white ceramic as a long term "investment". I like to hear some of your voices which might make clear with my purchase decision, thanks...

I don't want to sound too dismissive of the choices...
you have some good options. But the RB2, without question. As I have posted before in the past, it took me years to realize how incredible the watch is. Truth be told, I never got to see one live until a few years ago, and that really did it for me. For s...
The Barrichello II in rose gold is tremendous.
I have owned the ti version but was blown away when I later saw the rose version. The platinum is quite a beast as well. I would try to put together more funds and acquire the rose gold version :)
Let's put it this way:
The RBII is an icon and one of the first to really draw attention to the ROO. It also looks amazing IMO! The white... well it may be fashionable and can even appeal to either sex. However, how often can you wear a white watch and not feel a bit self consc...
The only thing which is important is to know which one sings the louder to your ears.
If it is the white, then go for it. Personally, I would go for the RB. Just for aesthetical reasons. Best, Nicolas
RBII (Myth) vs White Ceramic ROO (novelty)
IMHO The RB II is a myth : the "father" of the 44mm line. Take it, nurse it, bring it to war or racetrack. It is THE offshore. Many of us came to ROO by this model. Forget the two other , let the white to Michael Jackson and the GP to carbon fans. Just my...
For me...
Had the same dilemma a couple of month ago... my options where RBII TI, LBJ or the Michael Schumacher TI. Was a really hard decision I chose MS TI and sometime I think.. did I made the right decision then I look at my wrist and say yes I did... At the end...
