Having owned both, my advise is this. If this watch is your dress watch, go for the RO. An RO can be used as a sports watch but bear in mind the 50m WR. It fits below the sleeve very nicely though. However, for one you can dress up or down, I would say the ROO is better. It is sportier and has a higher water resistance so it can take more than just splashes of water.
Thanks for all replies!!! Get both, can only be my dream. now i am still collecting bullet to get my first ap...moreover my home minister wont allow this kind of budget... Nonono, i am not an adventurous guy who enjoy diving, snorkeling may be. My job allow me to wear tee and jean most of the time, only wear formal once in blue moon.

If you're planning on regularly diving to depths exceeding 50 m, the RO is not the watch for you.

What is your role?Definitely stick with the RO (unless you have 8+ inch wrists).
In my >20 yrs scuba around Asia, I've NEVER seen any diver wearing an APROO even those wealthy Sporean, Taiwanese, HK/mainland Chinese or caucasians.The most expensive I've ever seen is a two tone Submariner. Maybe the APROO divers are on live aboard yachts... Majority wear Seiko, TAG, Omega, Suunto, Swatch & Gshocks
Just my opinion and hence recommendation, Mr. Kong! If you are happy with the look that is all that matters. I'll never have to worry about it, because both the RO and ROO are WAY above my pay grade. But yeah, that doesn't look too bad on you.
Something is impossible only when you think it is...
6.5" wrists can wear ROOs just fine. Just change the standard strap to an XS to get a nice fit. The same cannot be said about the 41mm RO with the stiff steel bracelet. There will be a gap at the lugs. The ROO diver is fine too with a tang buckle but do you want a diving watch or a sporty one ie. ROO chrono?Or find the older 39mm RO or Jumbo. But the the Jumbo will cost almost as much as the ROO chrono and harder to find...

Nice piece brother Kong! fits perfectly
U mean u can't wear an AP to work ?Donald wears his Daytona to much worse places…but Sarawak is much safer than Kay-El...
