Talk about peer pressure...

So Roger, I'm going to blame this one on you...with all the talk of Montoyas, Barrichellos and Schumachers! After all, I have to blame it on someone...right? So without further hesitation, I present the newest member of the family:

Sadly the RBII had to go, but it was a worthy sacrifice for this piece. I struggled with the old style AP deployment and tried both regular as well as short straps to no avail. The tang buckle fits perfectly and is very comfortable. The grey combined with rose is just amazing in the flesh. One of (if not the best) limited edition ROOs AP has done.

I'll take some more pics soon...

Very nice, congrats, I only saw the TI version and found it very appealing, would love to see the RG and PT in the flesh one day, though probably not many chance for it, probably my favorite ROO

Certainly one of my all time faves.....I let go a RG44, and have the CE44...but would flip it in a heart beat this one.

Thank you...

Thank you all for the kind words/compliments. I am absolutely over the moon excited...I have looked for this piece for a loooooooooong time! I owned the titanium last year and don't get me wrong, it was AWESOME...but the rose is just killer.

Forecast for rain here tomorrow...so should have time to get you guys some good pics, so stay tuned!!
