The bracelet is nice for sure but it’s a bit too ‘bling’ for my eyes.
Yes, what an ironic statement to make on a ROO Chrono...
I have the RO Chrono in RG w/ blue strap and dial myself and the seamless way that the strap seems to continue from the dial has its own aesthetic merits.





However, I ultimately agree with others in that it all depends on your wrists. Get what looks good for you (and whatever your wrists can support). The bracelet would most likely snap my Asian twigs in two!

Guys after some advice, I’m looking at purchasing one of the ROO RG Chrono. But I’m stuck between the bracelet and the Strap. Difference in price about 20k plus. I really would like the bracelet but I’m not sure how much wrist time it would get as I would...

I tried it on and it looked great. I loved the weight of it and to me, on a bracelet the watch feels a bit top heavy. I admired it on his wrist constantly. A great look and for $20k difference it seems reasonable. I’m not sure you could buy a bracelet lik...

I am looking to purchase this watch in few months and i chose the strap option, 20k for gold bracelet for me is too much.

I love love love gold bracelets. But they aren't really wearable for me based solely on bling

Thanks - strap it is!

So I got the strap option - reasons: Savings Comfort Look Flexibility Now need to find a rose gold buckle to give me that flexibility - they are not cheap!.

Happy
