Rg rb2

Does anyone know what the retail price was for the RG RB2 when it was first announced in 2006?

I am considering to trade my AP ROO Panda and RP RGRC plus cash for a RG RB2.

Anyone know of someone that has a RG RB2 that may consider selling or making a trade please drop me a PM.

Thanks,
Chang

Not sure what retail price in 2006 was, but what's more relevant is probably what market price is on it currently. I think last I heard it was mid 60-70Kish.

This older webpage suggests the original retail was around $47,900:

Indeed. How about the 1000 LE RB2 Ti for $23,800?

I wonder if any of the original owners still have theirs that they bought at retail price or if all the current owners paid the interest on it.

If you are going to spend that much, I would get the RG Schumacher.

Yes agreed, and coincidentally mine is for sale at a very reasonable price! Due back from AP after a full going over in a few weeks.

I like the RG Schumacher other than the chrono pushers which seem a little big to me and makes the watch look squarish. Same with the Grand Prix

I see your point they are rather overlarge on the Schumi, shame.

Perhaps you need to see better pics of it. The pusher casing usually looks different enough in color that this isn't an issue except in bad lighting. I feel your pain though. I'm not a fan of the RB2s because the pushers and pushers' casing looks like a Pisces fishtail to me.
