Even if the face doesn't fit the arms do, if it is Mike though it's interesting that he had to wear the panda dial to lift that weight instead of the 44 plat.

I'd post some gym pics but the thought of driving all that way just to take some photos is too exhausting.

Just for fun now a few days/week. I'm an IFBB pro, but, I don't compete anymore.

Actually, I can USUALLY buy large enough off the rack, then, tailor them to fit.

Wow that's great, I did a few UKBFF shows but never made it past there,a few friends made it to Pro which was a goal of mine I never reached and in all honestly I didn't really have the potential.

Really enjoyed my time in the sport but a shoulder injury put it on the back burner.

Edit: surname beginning with P by any chance completed LH class?

That's still awesome. As you know, the discipline it takes just to get up there is enough to send most ppl running.

No way I'm posting a picture of myself lifting with an AP on after that... I'm literally 1/3 of Manofsteelpt's size!

It's funny how some on the Rolex forum have picked fights with Big Mike, thinking his username means nothing, but then we are all keyboard warriors those of us not within driving distance of Buffalo.

Thanks much appreciated.

Dial is a much brighter blue and looks great. If I had the funds right now, I'd get the YG 15202 over the RG 15202.

I wonder if the lighter dial color is just due to the lighting. I've never compared the RG and YG side-by-side...but I do really love the combo of the YG and blue.

The RG 15202 posted by Bobernet almost looks like a black dial compared to yours.

Probably lighting. This one changes from indoors to outdoors from dark blue to lighter like most AP color dials do.

Ha, and, I'm usually as nice as can be too. Some ppl are just rude on the internet for no reason, and, I hate that!
