The battle within! An AP ROO RC or Millenary Black/Steel?

**NOTE** I TOOK THESE PICTURES OFF OF THE WEB AND THEY ARE NOT MINE!

I have been debating this choice for about two weeks now and have not been able to pull the trigger on either one.

I would use the RC much more then the Millenary but I absolutely love the Millenary even though it would be more of a business attire watch. Funds at this time do not allow myself to indulge in both as I just bought a FC not too long ago and must control the urge to buy them all.

I can get either one for a great deal. BOTH USED COMPLETE!

I found a gently used Millenary black/steel for 14k.
I found a black on black ROO RC for 12k but would like the white dial over the black.

I know everyone loves a nice ROO :) but I would love to hear from some of the Millenary owners here about what they like and dislike about the watch as I have not tried it on or seen it in person! A wrist shot is welcomed as well ;)
What are your thoughts?

If you bought the FC and love the 4101, I'd get the 4101 ;)

RC would be like your other ROO

ROO would be my pick. I have personally never been a fan of the Millenary line. But I can understand why people like it. In the end, it is your personal choice, and you should buy what you like most.

If you have a FC, get the 4101.

Yup and sounds like your heart wants the 4101 so this is the right move for you I think.

Milenary. the ROO are too commercial.

Millenary looks more elegant due to the skeleton design

I think I may end up with the Millenary after all. I will be back home this week and should have it just in time for Christmas!
Demonoid! As soon as I saw that picture my heart jumped out of my chest. I think that watch is amazing to say the least!
On the other hand I have decided the next purchase will be the RC around March... I want them both.
Ill be more then happy to update this thread when I have it in hand with a few wrist shots :)
Happy holidays!

It is a blast!! I was very impressed with it from day 1... I had to make sure it was a Vette a few times ;) not related to watches but here it is..

Thanks guys.. I truly do enjoy wearing it just to wear it which is why I love AP.

The 4101 looks great on you, perfect size and should be a great complement to your FC.
