ROO Chronograph Grey
Dear friends, thanks for gracing this thread. I am quite new with AP, have been into Rollies for awhile. Saw an AP only earlier this year and the bug has been nibbling until recently, the lust had gotten irresistable.Been ogling at the ROO Black Theme, then Panda. Tried it out at a preowned shop earlier this week, the Black Theme, and it sang to me. Things didn't work out as that piece was reserved but it was worth a look in person. The trip was well worth it! Came across the grey theme only a few days ago, my first time ever. Have seen the Black Theme, Panda and Volcano a lot in this part of the world but lesser of the Grey. I think its beautiful and a rather uncommon piece around here. While shopping around, I found this. To be perfectly honest, I have no feel of the fair price for a BNIB piece. I am not well-off but this itch needs to be scratched, so I gotta make this count. In your esteemed opinion, is this a fair price? Much appreciate if you could chime in. Cheers guys!
