My latest addition - the RG Rubberclad!
I had owned this watch 2 summers ago but then sold it to fund something else. Been pining to re-acquire it since. Finally found a flawless one this week, courtesy of Tony Geha.

I really love the matte black dial on this reference.

Yeah, if I am not wrong Neil, this dial (which has the black date wheel) came out in the H series. AP discontinued this reference after the H production, which is really too bad as it's such an iconic design.

Congrats Ken! This piece continues to catch my eye - it was my grail piece in the early 2010s and I never had the chance to own one. Love the details of the H-serial dial!
