Farris, I would get the XL strap ordered from Hanover square in Mayfair and get the ends swapped over and see which fit suits you better. In reply to another post of yours I did say the RG is top heavy.

codecow · 2 October 2013, 07:01 AM

I hope you get it figured out, I think the watch looks great and it matches your car!

GradyPhilpott · 2 October 2013, 08:23 AM

Trade it in the AP for a Speedy Pro.

Manofsteelpt · 2 October 2013, 10:49 AM

I don't see how the XL strap would make a difference? I am also on the 3rd to last hole and have never even considered the XL strap.

An odd thing, ever try wearing your watch on your right hand? I'm a righty, but wear mine on my right.

accce · 2 October 2013, 10:51 AM

Nice watch and its too tight, but I would like to see more pictures of the car!

Hairdude1 · 2 October 2013, 11:19 AM

I have a similar problem with my PAM 372, I have started wearing it a little further back on my wrist

Lamkyle · 2 October 2013, 11:47 AM

I have, I used to have a Hublot which on my right wrist was far more comfortable than left so I often wore it that way, esp in the house.

Farris,
Congrats on deciding on a watch!
The 44 RG is an awesome watch (matches your car) and to me it looks like you have it done up too tight. Like others have said loosen it a notch (you may need the XL strap)
It took me about two weeks to get used o my 44 platinum and initially I was doing it up to tight as well. Now I have it on the loose side and it is very comfortable.
Once again congratulations,

SamGMT · 2 October 2013, 11:26 PM

Nice 44mm rose gold, Super Nice car!!

you need a longer rubber. It took me less then 60 seconds to get used to my wrist

Odd? Nah, brilliant. I'm a right handed person, but have always worn my watch on my right hand too (probably because as a little boy I was mimicking the hand my dad wore his watch on). But man am I happy I did...all too often I see pics of crowns jamming into left hands and I always think I'm so lucky I never have to worry about that.

and as others have said you need to loosen it maybe get an XL strap

Honestly, mine has lessened in weight mentally for me by like half LOL… Feels like how steel use to feel, you get use to it..

Farris, congrats man… truly a stunning watch, glad you went for it ! Enjoy

orangedial · 5 October 2013, 01:45 AM

You have a great watch, all you need is an XL strap!
That Ferrari is

Oboema Sesetokoe · 5 October 2013, 04:30 AM

I had the same problem with a RG rubber clad. When I sold it, problem was solved....

singe89 · 5 October 2013, 04:47 AM

I loved the look of the RG 44mm but when I tried it on it was too heavy for daily wear and I'm a pretty large guy. The 44mm FC was too monotone so I ended up going with the SS 44mm and a FC diver. I'm leaning towards getting a RG ROC for my first gold AP.

I wasnt able to try on the platinum 44mm one but I'd imagine you would have one really buff arm lugging that heft around all day.

Keep leaning, Jim.

The ROC wasnt even on my radar until you started posting pics. I was saving towards a Patek 5726 but the RG ROC looks better to me.

I didn't know about the Diver until I saw a thread on here! Now I own one!

AK797 · 5 October 2013, 08:38 PM

Yeah, but it also brings joy to your heart and stretch to your smile. Priceless.

VICI · 6 October 2013, 05:21 AM

How comfortable are those seats?? :)

Heard they're better than the F430.

shnxx · 6 October 2013, 08:07 AM

I think the 44mm ROO is too big even for big-wristed depending on the wrist shape.

I think I am going to exchange my offshore for the ROC. ROC is much more comfortable to wear.

Is this a black strap on the white face or is it just dark on the photo?

The ROC is also a more timeless piece IMHO.

Well it's a tough one as the non bucket Ferrari seats and the current standard 458 seat). The 458 seat looks much better. I recently did a 4,000 mile road trip in just over 3 weeks and had no lower back pain at all until the last 700 miles.

Having had a 430 for a few years and now having a 458 for a while, the 458 is a better car in almost every way (the 430 side mirrors were more sexy and that's about it). The drive is a different world.

tommyz24 · 7 October 2013, 04:03 PM

Wear it on the other side of the wristbone. Loosen it and place it a little higher up the arm. Bend your wrist back and see what the point is where it doesn't anymore, let us know

Well it's a tough one and as long as you aren't referring to the carbon bucket seats, both are very comfortable. The 458 seat looks much better and hugs you more when turning. I recently did a 4,000 mile road trip in just over 3 weeks and had no lower back pain at all until the last 700 miles.

AK797 · 7 October 2013, 08:14 PM

Farris, its a brown/chocolate strap. Black comes with black dial. Which dial do you prefer?

And if you like the bracelet its best to get it with the watch. I just rang Marcus and it costs £16k, so Id rather have a Nautilus!

VICI · 7 October 2013, 09:52 PM

I agree - the 458 is a much better looking car - in and out.

Love that you use the car - I can't understand those that let nice cars collect dust in a garage.

Enjoy them both!
