My 5980 & Happy 2018 TRF Members!

A while back on a thread I was discussing with a fellow member about giving RB a shot at my 5980 because I love the watch so much but the leather doesn’t work for me due to the humid places I travel to, I also love being on the water so leather is always a problem. Plus I hate taking this watch off at a hotel or any other place that is not home. The fit is perfect. I was hesitant for this specific watch. I have RB on my Daytona for fun but this is different. I have to say that don’t regret the choice one bit. This 5980 will be getting a lot of wrist action on 2018 including the New Year’s Eve party I will be going to in Miami! See you later freezing NYC! Also I want to wish all the members here a prosperous and healthy 2018 so we can continue the great conversations and enjoying our toys for many years to come!

I'd check out the flat design rubber as well, prefer that look.
