I'd give up my 44 and Panda for that baby... unfortunately though, I'd still only be 1/2 way there

Its all abstract until you put a watch on, then it gets real very quickly. |

the only good thing about the RM thread, for me at least, is none of the ones i like would ever actually be sitting in a display case at an AD. You have to really hunt for them so that is the only thing that keeps my impulse control issues in check.

You gentlemen do realize this thread was about me and my AP needs and issues? I am undergoing severe anxiety over what to select so your needs and issues will need to be addressed at a new time... I currently do not have one single AP in my collection so you can see what a serious matter this is and the attention it deserves. I am still sitting here with no AP to admire and no idea what to do! For my sanity and the well being of others in my household keep the photos coming and mix in some gold! |

grey 42 or diver However the panda you are leaning towards is a great choice as well. The RG 42 isn't my favorite but i do think it looks pretty good on other people. IMO if your going for a RG offshore the 44 is by far the best option in either new dial or the old. |

I blame the enablers on here! They are all beautiful pieces hence my dilemma. Edit: Yes I agree I do like the 44 as well but I am stuck on 42 for one reason or another. |

I'll throw this one into the mix also - I've seen it and liked it a lot, though still prefer my Panda, but the grey dial with a dash of red and the material (titanium) make it interesting - to me at least. It's on my wish list after a PP and an RG44

I do like that as well but I prefer 18k yellow or rose gold. Did AP discontinue the gold on rubber? I was not able to locate on their site but did come across a couple on Ebay in an online search that appeared to be older. I need to educate myself better on AP. I am behind here! |

Here are a couple that caught my eye after looking at the 44 again. Why does the 42 mm have a deployment ? It doesn't appear the 44 has it?

If you're liking the 44s also, then I'd say just get the RG44 to satisfy the craving. ...at least while you continue to review the 42s (as Tyler says, you won't be done with one)

Some of the very high end ROO watches still come on deployants I'm pretty sure. |

Do you have any AD's near you? What AP's have you tried on before? In person you may change your mind. Not just on the RG44, but any of the models. RGRC is discontinued. I love the watch but for me its a piece to have in the context of a larger AP collection. Its not a good only AP or first AP. The bezel is not the most durable. Look at the 44 Ti as well |

Thank you for the education as well as the photos . I did notice on the 42 the bezels seem nicked up pretty bad. I am looking for an everyday watch that can take some light abuse. I will take a look at the Ti as well. As far as trying on in is concerned, I have only tried on the 42 chrono models. I am out of town right now so no AD near me but I do have a couple AD's in Newport I work with from time to time. |

44's are your best bet then due to the ceramic bezels. The rubber and SS bezels will get nicked up a bit and the RG bezel will a lot.
