Roue Watches?
Does anybody know anything about Roue watches?
I've been recommended them by our Google advertising overlords and I hadn't heard of them before, looks to be a company that does 70's inspired chronographs with Seiko VK63 movements in them, I liked the look of them but wondered if any fellow crunchers had any hands on experience?

I don't have any of these bit I remenber saw review of these brand on Youtube.
I’ve got the TPS3 (the blue one). Well, I say that, but my wife wears it all the time and loves it.
No experience with the brand but that's a good looking watch.
I have a CHR. It’s a cool watch and I like to wear mine from time to time. I like the company’s branding, which was the reason I dipped my toe in the pool. The TPS I believe is the only one that uses that Seiko VK63 movements. Here are a couple shot from mine - I purchased the antique silver version as I liked the panda styling. If I did it again I think I get a black dial flavor. Good luck!
I just discovered these a couple days ago when Justin@WatchoLibre mentioned them in response to my question about the Nezumi Voiture meca-quartz chronograph. I have since gone down the rabbit hole of researching the Roue, and like what I have seen. The Yema Rallygraf meca-quartz is also in the same price range and style. Some of the Dan Henry watches as well.
I just received the TPS 3 a couple of days ago and so far I really like it. It's a very comfortable fit, especially on the very soft silicone strap. I admit that this was an impulse purchase for me as I fell in love with the colorway, but it has not disappointed.
When purchasing they list the TPS Three as the "Blue dial", which had me concerned that maybe the images on the site didn't truly reflect the colors used, but I can confirm that the watch in person looks just like the images with the dial being more of a slate blue, or blue-grey, than full-on blue.
This looks so good. Ordering one right now.
