Incoming!!!!

After a long time of consideration and dream about this piece I've finally pulled the trigger!

Thanks to all the amazing enabling photos I've tried on both the newer and this model and honestly prefer this over the new model without a doubt as it's much more versatile. I do think the newer one is stealthier and would fit great in a large collection. Got this piece with a xs white rubber which really make me understand how much more comfortable it is to have an xs strap for guys with smaller wrist!

Congrats, I'm not crazy about the strap combo but whatever you like. Thanks for the cool movement pic. Any AP RG ROO is a stunner in my book.

That's for sure ! I traded my RG Daytona and it's in a different league.

Thank! I've never thought I'd like it as well however, since it's preowned from the owner and he had this combo on it and it's quite unique and like it more than I expected in the flesh so I thought I'd have it this way for a little while.

Good for you, I was lusting over the same watch few days ago from another seller, mulling if I can pull it off, congrats again

honestly I've been wanting one since around 2 years ago however, the first time I actually gathered the funds and about to pulled the trigger I tried it one the normal size strap and it did felt too big for me however, for anyone who is about to pull the trigger my advice would be if you are able to pull the 42 off the 44 + XS strap will work perfectly.

I like the white rubber on it. Nice change of pace. My favorite, though, is the black and red GP strap. Available (in XS, I believe) directly from the service center in Clearwater, Florida, should you ever decide to get another option.

Sweet! Actually that's also on my dream list what's the approximate price for one of those do you mind if I ask? Glad to know there's xs size.

Thanks Neil! after drooling and asking you and going back and forth for a year. I personally think it looks even better in person than in pics.
