ok..I have decided to go with a 44mm ROO

This will be my daily watch - casual work environment, weekends etc..saving my platona for nights out and when i need to wear a suit.

So its either
1. Black ceramic - rubber
2. Anthracite ceramic - rubber
3. Pink Gold - rubber strap

i think i have decided against carbon
I love the blue/plat ROO - but i cant justify without selling the platona

Thanks for helping!

Ceramic all black will be my choice. RG44 is too heavy as a daily.

avilhena · 6 April 2016, 12:11 AM

I would choose the Red Gold. Wonderful watch

robbonds · 6 April 2016, 12:20 AM

RG44 on rubber strap is too heavy as a daily??

csi-n · 6 April 2016, 12:28 AM

For me, it would be a toss-up between 1 and 2.

Exactly plus the ceramic doesn't scratch, RG does, and I also prefer all black, anthracite is nice but saw them both sode by side and prefer the black, but really all black, not black with the white rehaut, there is 2 different all black ceramics, one has this white rehaut which is too bad

I'd get the RG but sounds like anthracite is best for you.

robbonds · 6 April 2016, 01:23 AM

think its in-between all black and RG

Abdullasaif · 6 April 2016, 04:03 AM

Anthracite dial has amazing contrast to the case

el1125 · 6 April 2016, 12:51 PM

Rose Gold first , Anthracite second.
The weight of the AP RG will be more similar to your Platona than the lighter weight Antracite. Depends I guess if the "weight" bothers you or not...

robbonds · 6 April 2016, 10:00 PM

i like heavy - but prefer not to be blingy (thus a platona -looks SS)...so im thinking the RG is out..id rather not stand out..so its either black or anthracite

Chary · 7 April 2016, 01:55 AM

I would go 44RG!!!!!

singe89 · 7 April 2016, 02:05 AM

Love the platona but how about trading it for the plat 44mm ROO and also getting CE diver or SS ROC?

If keeping the platona I would go with the anthracite CE 44mm.

44 FC

jschmidtdmd · 7 April 2016, 03:27 AM

If you are only getting one, get the RG. If you would consider two down the road, then add the ceramic anthracite.

AK797 · 7 April 2016, 03:30 AM

I wonder if AP would put an anthracite dial in the RG? I know the markers and logo won't match but I still think it would work to make a helluva watch.

lapince · 7 April 2016, 04:58 AM

I get your desire not to stand out, I also considered the RG but decided it was too loud, where I live is basically a safe place except if people see you have a big gold watch, I ordered a RG watch on strap but it is much smaller and much more discreet, at least I hope it is, at the AD or on your wrist the whole day is another, if it is too loud will just wear it in winter under sleeves I guess, since I love watches for me and not for others I have no need for people to see what I have on my wrist

masterserg · 7 April 2016, 05:57 AM

I'd get RG. Forged carbon as a second option .. with cash to spare for another watch. Ceramic is cool but (to me) not at the price.

Lordofrolex · 7 April 2016, 06:06 AM

RG for sure.

What I never understood is that the FC and CE divers are the same price give or take, but on grey market, new or used the 44 FC is much cheaper than the CE, don't really understand the logic to be honest...

Manofsteelpt · 8 April 2016, 10:54 AM

Dump the Daytona and get the Platty ROO.

robbonds · 9 April 2016, 03:59 AM

heavy voting on the RG.
Soooo tough a decision. Love the ceramic, RG and plat but cant justify 2 plat watches and ive always said i wouldn't wear anything but white gold or plat so the RG is out even though its incredibly beautiful! i just worry it stands out too much too wear as a daily.

So, ceramic with grey dial wins
Cant wait to get it - ill post pics tomorrow. My first AP - i think im hooked already!!

Since i live in Saint Petersburg - ill make an appointment at AP clear water next week to look at straps...any recommendations?

AK797 · 9 April 2016, 04:25 AM

The GP strap with red sides is fantastic. Looks amazing on Ben's 44mm.

robbonds · 9 April 2016, 05:15 AM

yeah - thinking a black croc strap with red stitching to match the hands...
