Not quite there with those three but a heavy down payment. I heartily endorse this idea!

A real grail indeed, I love that dial on the RG Daytona.

Congratulations!

thanks man, I even looked at DD2 in RG not because I wanted one but just to make up my mind, and even though the chocolate dial looks cool and all but the black dial just makes solid RG watches in general looks awesome IMHO

Wow...that RG Daytona is stunning. My favorite.

I went to a dealer a few times to try it on. Unfortunately my skin tone doesn't seems to compliment it well

Anyway, you have got a fantastic collection my friend.

Thanks for sharing and rubbing all sorts of salt into me

oops sorry Nick, but I was talking about the DD2 and solid gold watches, my wife still thinks that the new ceramic on a strap (your watch) is much nicer .. and she has better taste than me

as for the skin tone I totally agree, it simply doesn't pop as much which is what I was dreading to be honest

Wow... that RG is fantastic! I was never a full gold type of guy, but RG seems much more subtle. That watch on a black croc strap would be a killer piece.

Well who's wife hasn't got a better fashion taste than her husband

I bought the RG Black Ceramic (116515LN) after almost six months flip flopping between the two
However, your photos just rekindle my long lost love ship with it all over again

Cheers my friend
