MS ti vs RB2 ti
looking to get into one of these
cant quite decide since I haven't seen a MS in person yet lol I had an RB2 awhile back and have regretted selling it ever since! does anyone know the weight of the MS with strap inclusive? |

MS ti is a great looking piece and would be my choice.

Can't help you with the weight but here's a pic of my choice. I feel the MS Ti is too monotone with the grey.

RB 2 is nice but over priced in IMO. I rather opt for scumi which is under warranty, newer, better materials, better power reserve.

If you like grey dials, MS. I've found I'm impartial to dials with a bit more pop, so RB2 is an easy choice. Cant go wrong either way.
Schumi in RG on the other hand I love...great offset with the gold/gray. |

Don't know exact weight, but pretty light weight in MS since it's Ti.

schumi is really nice, i owned one for a bit.
the RB2 looks a bit more 'special' to me, for whatever that is worth. |

RB II for sure in Ti!
If we were talking RG it would be the Schumi.
Good luck! |

Tough call. I prefer Shumi based on better movement.

Schumi in Ti feels perfect weight on the wrist, really comfortable to wear & looks amazing in the sun light. RBII not so comfy on deployment but dial looks great. I would go Schumi all things considered.

I like the dial and bezel of the Schumi but those bat's wing pushers put me off.

thanks for all the feedback gentlemen
I do like dials with contrast/pop, but I prefer the 44mm size and that cermet bezel surprisingly total so far is pretty much 50/50 RB2 9 MS 8 |

MS is just beautiful in the flesh. My initial impression was that it too monotone - grey. But in person, the differently polished parts, slight variation in color - it really pops!

Agree, you gotta see the Schumi in the metal to fully appreciate its beauty - However some of the guys photos on here are awesome! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
