Get what sings to you... And which ever one makes you smile when you look at it on your wrist, at the end of the day... We all have our own preferences, but your taste is your own, and that's all that matters
Look forward to seeing your decision

I think the Rose Gold captures all the attributes of the 44mm design in perfect
coherence and ideal colour contrast.

I actually love the RG at first sight. Tried on the SS at a boutique but they didn't have the RG on stock.. Urooj, thanks for the picture, just one question, does the dial look to yellow goldish? or its more white obvious because i watched a video on youtube under a lgiht, its too bright in gold.. which of course i prefer to be more white obvious because it would look so much more beautiful!

I think the RG on the 44mm looks amazing, it gives it elegance and tones down the size if the watch. I didn't quite like 44mm SS, i thought it loo a little bulky.

RG 44MM all the way brotha ..

[eric23]

44mm RG!

[Hairdude1]

RG all day!

[TSW]

RG of course!!!

[boursachi]

to me, there are ROOs
then there is the RG ROO

class of its own really whether they are:
42
44
limiteds

[oworkman]

RG.......no brainer!

[travisb]

Rose, no doubt.

[Lamkyle]

42mm RG!

[Sam Philip]

Rg

[gummy]

If you are considering RG in 44 or 42...drop the hammer and get it done!

Both are STUNNING in person/on the wrist

[orangedial]

If price is not a concern, RG is a no brainer!

[benlee]

Anyone knows how much is the RG 44mm after the recent price reduction?

[AK797]

If the RG is not too ostentatious/loud for you then always get the gold option I say.

No the sub dials has a nice tint more on the shiny side but subtle to my taste. I believe the dial true colour hue cannot be captured by a lens but I am sure you will like the combination. Considering unbelievable price you can get one for at the moment I wouldn't even think twice.

I paid much more then it is retailing for now. So I am extremely unhappy and displeased but the watch is certainly worth it.

I think I'd go SS, but the RG 44mm would really make me pause and consider it.

If the $$ differential isn't an issue, give the RG a go.

[anmomin15]

Is it possible to get a RG with a carbon bezel?

[paphaw8]

I'm picking up the SS tmrw.. I hope that i made the right choice!

P.S i couldn't wait till end of June for the RG to arrive :(

[texex91]

As you wish...pics galore:

I have owned both (and 44mm FC). I will tell you the RG is EXTREMELY heavy watch. It's absolutely stunning, but a little uncomfortable for my wrist.

The SS is amazing the way it pops, you will love it. It's heavy too, but not near as heavy as RG.

Great choice on SS. Again both are two of the best looking AP's out there (and I'd throw in the 44mm FC into that group--amazingly light watch and super comfortable).

[wetfeet]

I like the RG of course...

I came close to getting the RO openworked though, sometimes I wonder if that's the way I should have gone, but then I tell myself that's just signs of addiction starting.

I´ve tried on the 44 mm in selfridges, but i think that one comes up too large, and why do they dont keep on using the ap foldingclasp., both the newer divers and the 44 roo is missing one really impressive detail imo.

If I am not wrong, the 44mm ROOs come with pin/buckle, not AP Clasp.

Yes thank goodness MUCH more comfortable with pin/buckle. One of the things that bothers me about Panda, etc. Perfect fit on 44mm to have pin/buckle.

exactly, and that´s a shame as i said, imo the new aps are missing a superior detail.

Love AP RG!

Just out of design perspective this detail is unique and looks amazing, never the PP, JLC, VC, IWC tbh, non of the watches i have seen seems to make a foldingclasp that is so pure and superior in design as the "old" ap folding clasps.

That was the first detail that made me fell in love with ap.
