Comparing the RG Schumi to the 44 ROO Forged Carbon.....

44 Forged Carbon is much lighter, Crystal or AR not as good in my opinion to either Schumi, however that may be because of the black dial on the 44 ROO. I think the RG or either Schumi is way more blingy than the 44 ROO FG, however the 44 ROO can be a more everyday watch. But then again I'm wearing the RG Schumi daily as I cannot take it off its looks so beautiful!

The strap on both Schumis blows away the 44 ROO because it's super soft as they improved the process of making them I assume. I'm sure you can order a new super soft black strap though for the ROO.

The cermit bezel on both Schumis is just at another level than our 42 novelty or 2014 cousins, but again blingy including the screws, and hour markers on the Schumis...

The 44 ROO forged carbon is most closest to gen just like the Bee, the Schumis are clearly not due to the dw position and the dial color being off on both, however they are still amazing watches and not many even know the watch exists as the chances of someone having one are slim to none.

Lume is better on the 44 ROO, almost too much lume on this one, however I'm not sure how the gen is on lume. The lume on Schumis are both excellent just not as good as 44 ROO in my opinion.

Let me know if I can answer anything else. I have all 3 and love them all!

Are you talking about 44mm FC only? Or 44mm Panda/Platinum/Ceramic have the same quality and gen-like appearance?

I want to buy one 44mm AP in my collection, but it's hard to choose ). FC, Ceramic, Panda, Platinum, Ti Schumy - I like'em all, but able to buy only one. What do you think, which is more flawless? ) Of course, except common flaws like thickness/movement/etc.

44 ROO FG is closet to gen, but if I had to pick my favorite it would be TI Schumi.

What platinum watch are you referring to? 44 ROO Panda is great as well as 42, but this is the Schumi thread lol

hey Nick
what are the little flaws of Schumi so far?
I'm interested in getting one but the price is almost double of my 15400, so gotta think about it more...

Thickness, open caseback, date position, dial color, tachy alignment, etc
