Michael gatecrashes the party!

Whilst visiting my AD this morning, predominantly to inquire about the new 15202 (which I was hoping would be my next AP) and why it is taking so long to arrive, I was surprised by the sudden appearance of the M. Schumacher. Not the actual man himself but the new ROO bearing his name.

Frankly speaking, I had grown a little tired of the many versions of the ROO and when the AD said the first two have just arrived and proceeded to show them to me, I was a bit skeptical. One was in Pt. and the other in RG. I inspected and tried them both on and the RG seem to resonate more with me.

I wasn’t in the market for another ROO, having had a few in the past but I was tempted, to say the least. It did look awesome in the metal! What did I do? I left the AD and went round to the corner cafe to sit quietly to have a cup of coffee……………… to calm my nerves and to ponder. However, even to my own surprise, I returned within the hour! So much for resisting!

Some pics.(pls. excuse the poor quality)

At the AD Pt. and RG

RG and grey - an outstanding combo!

Thanks for looking and have a great start to the week!

cheers

There is nothing better than seeing the watches in the real and making his own opinion! Best, Nicolas

Not really Nico..

I need your sympathy. My banker or wife will probably kill me! :) Note to self: never, never walk into an AD to kill time. :) Best fernando

your wife won't. As for your banker, the golden rule is

To kill him before he does. And in this sense, you did well. :) Best, my friend. Nicolas

In fact, that's a very good idea! :) [nt]

PIcking up mine after the race in Interlagos. When I am around your way again we will have to take a dual wrist shot of the RG Schumis! Best, Henry

Thanks Henry!

Looking forward to it. :) You are right about the RG! Best fernando

That really looks awsome on you. The watch looks so much better on the wrist than in the promo photos!

The soft rubber strap...

By: fernando : November 12th, 2012-06:42

is comfy and even conforms to my humble wrist. The finishing and the material is the best I've seen on a ROO yet. :) Thank you. fernando

considering the Ti version

Congrats Fernando seeing the (beautifull) wrist pics, do you have a small wrist ? I have (6,5), and I'm not sure if it suits a rather small wrist like mine .... but I need to take the decision to go for the Ti or stay away from it ...

Even though..

By: fernando : November 12th, 2012-07:20

my wrist is smallish like yours, the watch does not appear out of proportion with the rest of my body. The soft rubber strap with the tang buckle will give you a snug fit and that is very important as the watch will not wear like a bracelet or hang loose....

don't know, need advice ..

By: Patriek : November 12th, 2012-07:35

I personally think the RG is the most beautifull, but I have to cut my expenses :) so I would go for the Ti. we don't have a boutique in Belgium that has it, I need to go to Paris to see the watch .... but I'm pretty short in time right now I can order it...
