MS ti vs RB2 ti

looking to get into one of these

cant quite decide since I haven't seen a MS in person yet lol

I had an RB2 awhile back and have regretted selling it ever since!

does anyone know the weight of the MS with strap inclusive?

MS ti is a great looking piece and would be my choice.

Can't help you with the weight but here's a pic of my choice. I feel the MS Ti is too monotone with the grey.

RB 2 is nice but over priced in IMO. I rather opt for scumi which is under warranty, newer, better materials, better power reserve.

If you like grey dials, MS. I've found I'm impartial to dials with a bit more pop, so RB2 is an easy choice. Cant go wrong either way.

Schumi in RG on the other hand I love...great offset with the gold/gray.

Don't know exact weight, but pretty light weight in MS since it's Ti.

**** WARNING DO NOT OPEN THREAD BELOW UNLESS YOU'RE READY TO BUY A SCHUMI ****

Both great, BUT here's my vote:

schumi is really nice, i owned one for a bit.

the RB2 looks a bit more 'special' to me, for whatever that is worth.

RB II for sure in Ti!

If we were talking RG it would be the Schumi.

Good luck!

Tough call. I prefer Shumi based on better movement.

Schumi in Ti feels perfect weight on the wrist, really comfortable to wear & looks amazing in the sun light. RBII not so comfy on deployment but dial looks great. I would go Schumi all things considered.

I like the dial and bezel of the Schumi but those bat's wing pushers put me off.

Agree with this. The pushers and pusher guards are pretty terrible and spoil the balance of the watch.

thanks for all the feedback gentlemen

I do like dials with contrast/pop, but I prefer the 44mm size and that cermet bezel

surprisingly total so far is pretty much 50/50

RB2 9
MS 8

MS is just beautiful in the flesh. My initial impression was that it too monotone - grey. But in person, the differently polished parts, slight variation in color - it really pops!

Agree, you gotta see the Schumi in the metal to fully appreciate its beauty - However some of the guys photos on here are awesome!
