Incoming RG 44 Offshore :)

Big thanks to Takuya for a flawless deal. I tried this piece on at my local boutique on monday, and I had the same feeling I got when I tried on the blue sub last year. I knew immediately i had to make moves to get my hands on this beauty.

sold my GMT, 15400 and 14060 to fund it. I will likely add back the 15400 this year when funds allow. the bracelet will be missed.

This watch is so beautiful. It is perfect for casual clothes, and is SO comfortable. I have big-ish wrists and it fits perfect. Its heavy, but on the wide strap it feels totally manageable.

Fit and finish is impeccable as expected from AP. The ceramic's brushed finish is perfection.

I'm now left w my Skyd blue and green sub. A great trio for my life and what I wear my watches for.

have a good weekend TRF.

Beautiful watch

I just watched the Portugal/Spain game, and this is the watch that Hierro (Spain manager) was wearing. I can't find a screen cap unfortunately...

I saw that and pointed it out a few times... and I think a few family members were finally starting to show me some WIS respect.

Congrats to OP, but for that mistake you both need to pass your watches to me... because Hierro wears a gold Hublot with ceramic bezel... thanks in advance I will PM you my address, shipping is on me...

Congrats!! This watch looks absolutely awesome on you. I wish I had the wrist to pull off a 44m RO.............might be my favorite PM sports watch

No, I didn't see it clearly so I have to disbelieve you... altho you might be right as he's a footballer.
