I would keep the 44, for the exact reason as your 42 bezel pics. That would seriously bother me.

Oh the new toy is a Lambo? Man they're all the same, awesome looking cars that you can't drive normally without loosing your drivers license, that's why I have a Harley Davidson and not a Japanese bike, had both 20 years ago, did some crazy speeds with the Suzuki GSXR, 285km/h, that's around 180 miles per hour, but that was a long time ago and I was close to loosing my license for many years, so for me cars are like watches, meant to be driven/worn, don't sell a watch to get a new car that you basically won't be able to drive normally, if you want a super cool car don't go italian, go american, a Shelby is as cool as it gets, awesome acceleration power, not as fast as a Lambo, and the sound is way cooler than any italian car, just sayin'

Yeah I must admit, I think if I ever wanted a ROO42 I would also get the FC or CE diver and have a watchmaker switch bezels, ok it's quite an investment but you will have the RG 42 with CE bezel, very cool IMO and the diver would have the RG bezel, so you would have 2 very original and unique watches

I'd keep both watches.

But if you have to get rid of one, then keep the 42mm.

Based on your wrist size I would go 42mm (also prefer the smaller size), although I agree the black dial looks nicer.

In all seriousness I would let the 42 go only because of the scratches. Otherwise I find it better looking than the 44.

Another this or that post sorry

I'm going nuts here 😬😬😬 got rid of all my other pieces... down to my 2 RG APs... need to make a move and need to have a perfect pair, a daily and a good weekend watch. I feel like the 44RG is more sporty so when I dress up I tend to take the 42... so I had made my mind and I was going to trade the 44RG for a 44Stainless, but then I see my 44 and I'm in love and change my mind....🤔🤔🤔 there is nothing really out there that sounds exiting as a good combo.. here is what I had in mind but still confused...

44RG + 44ST
42RG + 44ST
42RG + 42 Old/new Navy offshore
44RG + 42 Old / New Navy

not sure what other options to consider 🤔🤔🤔 keep in mind I do real estate and flips and also own a restaurant so I'm constantly in construction sites, that's why I prefer to wear a stainless watch during the week.

What should I do!!??? My wife suggests to sell all of them and get an Apple Watch and get her a new Chanel 😂😂😂😂 but somehow I'm not happy w that option....

I like both. why not just keep both? I don't quite get the logic here, coz any of these 4 options only saves you 20k. does it make a difference when you talking of a new lambo?

@icok no not about saving money, I ended up selling my other pieces, sold 6 watches in the past couple weeks, I want a piece that I can wear daily and a weekend piece. If I keep this combo the 44 would be my daily and I'm afraid of dinging it 44.

Oh how I agree with you, that's why I live in Ukraine, can't stand anymore the rules and laws of developped countries, EU, USA, you feel ten times more free here than in France, not saying that everything is great here but I feel much better here than in Paris, and I lived here 8 years before, but when you fluently speak russian it's a big plus, but even if I didn't speak it would still prefer here, in our "more developped" countries you have a constant impression of George Orwell's 1984, makes you wonder if our politicians didn't celebrate at each act of terrorism since it let them pass crazy anti liberty laws, in France now it's really crazy, they can basically do what they want, listen to your phone, emails, what you look'on the net, everything...
