RG ROC or Rolex sky dweller RG?

Hey guys,
So I am having a dilemma, I am feeling the 42mm RGRC is too big for me to handle and thinking to switch it. Love the new 44mm but no way I could handle that. I would like to maintain a RG watch and has come up with the above 2 choices. The RG ROC black dial with gold bracelet/leather strap and the Rolex sky dweller RG. I like the perpetual calander and dual time of the Rolex but like the design of the ROC more.
Any thoughts?

That a tough call. I would lean towards the ROC for looks but really like the functionality of the Sky-Dweller.

I like the size of them and they are both RG. Found out I tend to like less bulky watches.

Kyle, I went for a RG ROC white dial on brown strap. If you want a black dial ROC I think the bracelet is the better choice but it is rather heavy!

That's a big difference from RGRC to Rolex SD. The ROC is somewhere in the middle of the sports to dress watches.

If you can pull off the RG ROC on bracelet, that's the way I'd go.

AP for sure...but the new ROC wears bigger than the RGRC, you should definitely go try one first.

I was in your opposition, finally decided to get the 42mm rose gold, few weeks later obtained the 44mm novelty rose gold. Loved them every seconds

Just a quick point you mention you like the perpetual calendar, the Rolex is actually an annual calendar...

I would say they wear almost exactly the same, as the RGRC is 1mm wider but has a smaller dial so both wear around 44mm, so if you can wear one you can the other, altho the RGRC is quite a bit thicker.

I would normally agree but I have a YG GMTIIc already so a white dial fits better on my collection. To be honest the white dial is very clean and sharp.

I'll have to go with the ROC here, it's a very nice watch.
