Is "The Beast" second most iconic AP?

For those of you with large enough wrist to wear it comfortably....I am curious on of everyone's current thoughts on The Beast (26238).

The 26238Ti was one of the first APs I tried on at a boutique, but at the time, I quickly dismissed it due to its thickness.

I quickly fell in love with the current 43mm line, but have been waiting and waiting for a ghost re-issue. It is starting to feel as though that will not happen in the short term and while I have purchased my wife a RO, my adventure is still waiting to start.

For a while, I thought maybe I would just buy a khaki 43 this year, but now I am thinking more and more about the 26238Ti. With the quick change strap, there is a lot of versatility there. Black, grey or white rubber...a custom textile strap like the grey on the RG 26420, which I think would look pretty killer.

Plus, other than the Jumbo...The Beast seems like the second most iconic AP. I really want a titanium ROO, eventually a blue dial Jumbo and a ceramic 41. Feels like the beast is a great place to start.

What says the collective?
