My new pride and joy

Here is my beautiful RG ROC 26320. She is a breath-taking piece and though I've taken some pretty good pics in real life she is even more stunning. I love the silver dial of the 15400 but the RG version has a flatter white dial so the silver subdials on the ROC give that extra silver flourish I like and mixed with the gold its a devastating combination. The strap is light and contours around my wrist nicely and the watch is actually quite nice and heavy for a strap piece.

I love the combination of white, gold and brown but I think if you like the black dial then the bracelet is the best way to go. Hope you enjoy the pics

Many thanks again guys.

Yes Sam, GMTc YG is the plan but as I went a bit over budget to get this I think that'll have to wait for a while but I think this will more than keep me company in the mean time!

Geert, I will try to go to the GTG but you know I dont think I can take this off yet I'm so precious about it right now, haha, so maybe no group shot!

Of course I would recommend the RG and as I hope my pics show it is a beautiful watch and the polished gold surfaces do catch the eye, it isn't very under the radar. I would say also that it does wear bigger like a 43mm and like a thinner Diver, so as I'm a ROO man who essentially wanted a RG bezel this was the perfect AP for me. If you can pull off 43mm and if you like gold then this would be a great choice.
