Love the Navy ROO... have this one on my radar (along with the elephant). It strikes me as more of a casual timepiece, but these pictures seem to indicate that it can be business casual as well. What settings do you wear this now? Curious to see how versatile it is... Thanks.

Yes, I think it can be considered business casual to a certain degree. I am planning to get the steel bracelet for it and I think that's going to make it more business-like than casual. I don't understand your question re. the setting.

Does the blue look different under different lighting? When I tried it on it was very dark and didn't look like the website rendering. But yours looks amazing esp in the second set of pics you took. Or is the blue dial they make just inconsistent?

Yes, the blue looks drastically different depending on the lighting and viewing angle. I see Royal, French, and Navy blues depending on the conditions.

It's not a matter of inconsistency. It's a matter of physics, in this case probably a combination effects of light, angle, dial's surface finish and pattern, refraction from the crystal and its anti-glare layer, etc.

Whatever the phenomena, it's a lovely blue.

they say the coloured straps are softer than the black that has a coating on the outer.
