Was next to a chap today at the airport wearing an 11 ti or wg on white vented rubber. Looked very nice Paul. Did you try that before you got the white canvas? Sorry no pics as he clearly thought I was a weirdo staring at his watch as I was!

I don't know how to change the deployment buckle for rubber, so always went kevlar as don't have to deal with that.

John did this past week, so think I'll give it a try if I get another rubber strap. Waiting on -03 at this point as strap is different.

RM 38-01 QTPT - Patented G-sensor with a floating tourbillon mechanism handling 20-G’s of acceleration.

Know it's been out, but I do love RM R&D.

My AD received one for his for uber client...$820K. Two free straps though

First off

Next 20 g's lol. That's like the DSSD depth rating. Astronauts do about 3 gs and f1 drivers max out around 5. By the way I'm not hating. I love it

LOL! Really nice change up on the strap. I am half Greek and half Italian and have been cursed with the hairy arms as well (Was fortunate enough to dodge the back hair ) Long story short I regularly run a #2 trimmer through my arms and it makes a big difference. Ends up looking normal and perfect length for watch pics and an overall pleasing look. I have seen some guys on here who damn near shave all the hair off their arms with a razor and then have stubble in their wrist shots or the other extreme is a $$$$$ piece being overlapped by tons of hair. The #2 guard on my wahl clippers is the perfect setting #manscaping #justsaynotoorangutanarms

Kills me that I can't make it to Austin this year. I'll be even out of the state and will have to catch the race on tape delay
