I would say it is an ultimate Anniversary watch. And it will be extremely rare.

Great - except for the pusher! They destroy the whole casing line. I never liked these over exaggerated pushers...
In an ocean of watches looking all the same...
This new ROO is the main fish... it looks like ten other brands trying to be AP look like.. I can’t put it into words ,, first feeling is not so good though. Mo
On my second look at this watch.
It kind of reminds me of some design characteristics of a few high end independent watchmakers.

Will be forgotten quickly
Remember, only 50 made. Also skelton chronograph tourbillion like the 26347, which has a retail price of almost $240,000) --- so while this is an anniversary piece, there are only 100 made total in both metals and MSRP will likely be at least a quarter mi...
