Which One??

Even though was bitten hard on the acquisition of my first AP - ROO RG 44mm a year back
courtesy of a sudden price drop. However till date no other brand has gotten me more intrigued.
So here I am ready for next piece soon enough, which one would you go for. The first image is
borrowed and from SIHH 2014 coverage. Have a great weekend.

Cheers!

Since you already have a gold piece, I choose number 2.

I am not a fan of the Millenary collection, so i would personally choose any RO.
But in your case, since you like both collections, you should aim for diversity. So Millenary might be the right thing for you.

I'd mix it up with the Millenary.

I'd suggest the ROO.

Different experience than yours due to size and looks unreal!

I aspire to a SS Milenary, but so far it has been out of reach...

Millenary would compliment your RG ROO 44mm perfectly. Sport and dress

I am personally not a big fan of either. Especially the Millenary. Every company has its strengths, and AP's is the RO. If you want proper dressy, go for PP, VC or JLC.

Nevertheless, out of those two I would go for the RO. Why not go more conservative and try a 15400? Since you already have a ROO it could be nice for more dressier occasions when a sporty watch is still ok.

ROO but Id make sure exactly what colour the dial was first, and hope it is not too yellowish.

Both great pieces Urooj, but I am guessing you may enjoy the ROO more even though you have a 44mm RG.
If it were me I would go with the ROO, if you can get your hands on one when they are released! Good luck

Thanks... Will have to see it in person... From the pics it seems there's too much gold on this piece. I wish the bezel was in ceramic or atleast the dial was black as it always was...

Ceramic bez would have been a big hit on this or any of the 42mm pieces for that matter.
We will have to wait for the release of the RG RC update, surely that will have a ceramic bez.
