Any 42mm with ceramic pushers is a great option...add a bracelet for versatility and you're good to go:thumbs:

Awesome. Does this particular bracelet have a name?

lol, I meant like Rolex has special names for bracelet like President, Jubilee, Oyster, and now the OysterFlex...

I would go Forged Carbon if the budget allows, especially since this is the last year it will be available!

Tough one for a newbie but man, what a watch!

[lapince]

I would suggest a ROO with ceramic bezel as the metal flat bezels scratch easily, i chose the ceramic diver, incredibly comfortable, under the radar, great to wear except with a suit, no longer produced which means that it is not a common piece, if I am right they produced around 600 pieces, but if you have the wrist and funds for it the 44's are great as well, but for me the 42mm was the best option, here is a quick pic

Ceramic Diver is a stunner in real life. There are no wrong choices really.

I'm going to play devils advocate here. ROO is a true sports watch. About as sporty as sporty gets. But it's 100% not a dress watch. I'm all for breaking the rules of dress, but this is pushing the lines. I'm not talking with a cool button down, but more specifically formal dress wear.

Maaaaaybe a RG ROO could pass with a suit and tie... But in my book that's about it.

If you're interested in sporty and dress, I'd highly recommend the RO lineup.

I agree, maybe the RG would pass with suit and tie, but the others not really, can't imagine one second wearing my diver with a suit, too sporty for sure, ro and Patek Nautilus line can be dressed up or down, ROO no IMO, but I wear a suit maybe 5 times a year, so don't really

The FC diver also is very cool and a little rare, but I wanted a clear case back and prefer orange to yellow, but the FC is even lighter, but the ceramic is incredibly comfortable for a watch that size, since my PP 5712 and my AP wearing any kind of Rolex is just unthinkable, too heavy and just no wearing pleasure, whereas the AP is big but a pleasure to wear, so much that I sleep with mine

[texex91]

RG ROO works with suit...but as a owner it's BEST CASUAL/SPORTY and with shorts in the summer.

RG 44 is killer casual watch (and the ONLY way I wear it 95% of the time)!!

Stunning, I would get either a discontinued model, FC or CE diver, or a soon to be like the FC 44, you have a cool watch which wasn't made in thousands and will retain value if bought well, I love the almost unscratchable/unbreakable thing of the ceramic if you are careful, no need to worry all the time "did I get a scratch..."

Oh any ROO on rubber comfort wise atomizes any Rolex sub, wether SS, gold, I had 2 subs and a gmt, plus a daytona, no way I would be a able to wear them now, comfort wise it's another dimension, if you want to wear your smurf don't get a ROO, some can but others like me are incapable to wear a Rolex after being used to this high level of comfort, not kiding, flipped all my Rollies because of this...
Hard to believe that huge watches can be so comfortable until you try them on, ordered my CE diver having never seen one, instant winner...

i did have a hard time picking a PM Rolex. I did feel that something was missing, even when I was at the AD. So, I might be able to trade TAkuya for an AP or PP.

I like the ceramic, and the rubber straps...and even some RG..
The search begins...lol

Your choice is clear then! My Grail

[kilyung]

Is there anything more badass than an AP (RM aside)?



Sam, go big.



Old school is nice also.

Mike, Paul, and Alex... 3 Kings of Enabling! I would love to meet these guys in person but my wife or accountant I am sure would not approve LOL!

On rubber? Yes more comfortable than my Sub-C. On hornback my sub-C is more comfortable.

Although I do agree with the above, I don't think the difference is that drastic. Even with the rubber diver strap it's not like a night and day comfort difference compared to my sub.

Plus, your sub has the extra warmth of gold so there's that lol.

Isn't that the standard black diver rubber?
