That is a very stunning piece. What’s the damage? Assuming around 25k
Using a Piaget chrono movement rather than the combination of AP auto with a chrono module on top as before, so with pushers lining up with the crown, and much thinner. This first model, the only one shown on the website so far, is titanium. It's 42mm, so I picked something else that size from the catalogue to compare
Old:
New:
Using same movement as in this:
"The cal. 2385 is actually the Frederic Piguet cal. 1185, or more precisely the Blancpain cal. 1185 since Frederic Piguet was absorbed into Blancpain in 2010."

Looks very nice apart from the long Chrono pushers in pic 2. They look a bit odd.
These are increasingly more appealing to me, I like the numerals and the date on the old one, but prefer the pushers and hands on the new.
Which would I choose? Neither as they are beyond me, but used? Possibly.
I love new ROO, but I guess it can be because of blue dial - I love blue dial so much :)
Think of my IWC AMG Chrono - prefer the longer pusher buttons.
I like the new AP RO, but will stick with the aforementioned IWC and save myself 20 odd grand....
I prefer the old dial layout and pushers, but then I may be slightly biased.

The ROO has to be a white dial imho, even though I love a blue dial.
whilst respecting your view - the new ones look rubbish to me. Like stuck on as an afterthought. I like the hexagonal pushers, makes them more inkeeping with the aesthetic of the whole. Just my opinion ofc and not in my budget anyway but definitely an eye candy “want” for now
Much prefer the old dial layout. The ROO is a big watch so why squash everything in (date between sub dials).
I prefer the new pusher style in the 44mm and I though it would be good on 42mm but I am not so sure with what I have seen so far. Will have to see irl.
I really like the look of this, although not sure what is going on with pretty much all the hands
The Chrono seconds is blue against a blue dial
The hour and minute hands are a but ugly
The hands on the subdials are not very elegant
Never liked numerals on watches always make the dial to cluttered. The new baton is much nicer
Still got love for this. I think with Ti even weight will be fantastic. This is like a souped up, posh and better version of my iwc amg chrono.
