I would disagree, the AP is much more sensitive and delicate than a DD, I would be more comfortable wearing a DD in sporty attire/activities than a RO especially a rose gold.

The previous gen Marine is also lovely.
A great choice and nice alternative.

Charging a ~5x premium for gold when the exact same watch/movement in SS at $7,150.00 is ridiculous for an Omega. Even more ridiculous for "Canopus" (White gold??) at 6.5x multiple.

Love the OMEGA in RG, yet pricing is very asperational. For that money, the more historic movement makes sense.

Which sport RG piece would you suggest?

His point is valid. Rolex charges a 3x premium from the 116500 to the 116508. If omega was charging 21450 for this watch it would be similar. Boy would this be an interesting option at 21k which really isn’t absurd at all seeing as that’s what the secondary for many gold Rolex was just 5 years ago!

At this price it should be a RG 321 particularly since they made it boutique only so no discounts.
