I could have kissed the Fed Ex man I was so excited when he came into my office but I refrained myself!

All I can say is the hype is real when you put on a gold watch and this one did not disappoint. The sheer weight of this beast is impressive and it felt like someone strapped a 5lbs rock to my wrist which I happen to like.

The color combo with the RG, black bezel, light gray tapestry dial then the black sub dials is just stunning! Can you tell I really like this one.

My friend said he couldn't believe anyone can pull the trigger on such a piece without ever seeing it in the flesh but I was confident it wasn't a risk.

I already had the sister model in SS and knew the size was perfect so it was just about the aesthetics. Since I had spent quite a bit of time looking at all of the fabulous pics on TRF from other members who had them, I had little doubt it would be love!

Without further adieu..I give you my new RGRC

Family photos

Thanks for looking and no, there will not be a 4th AP for now so STOP tempting me!

I think it's time for you to start building additional collection of lighter dial color AP's.

mspeed76 · 2 March 2013, 09:55 AM

I think the 42mm is a PERFECT size for me just like Goldie Locks found. Not too big, not too small but juuuuust right!

I have that covered with my other brands. I have a white dialed DD, ivory on my Zenith Defy, white Pam 188, etc. so all good on lighter dialed watches.

Do you think?

orangedial · 2 March 2013, 10:46 AM

Very very nice! Congrats again!

But... You need a classic 3-hand model, like the ceramic Diver, which will complete your ROO collection!

Bigbadbns · 2 March 2013, 10:52 AM

Bravo....bravo!!! I'm speechless

My taste tends to run towards chronograph's but I would be lying if I didn't admit to liking the AP diver.

With that being said and for the sake of diversity as well as my need to follow in my mentor's footsteps, I would probably get a Blancpain FF if I got another non chrono diver!

Not the photographer you are but not to bad considering I used my iPhone!

Glad you got your back from Clearwater so you can enjoy it again!
