I prefer it. Since its leather there is more friction and it doesn't slide on your wrist as much as the rubber which is smoother. So basically you don't have to wear it as tight. With a heavy watch it makes a difference. Plus, I prefer the look

I'm reading around that the SC might have the best pricing for purchasing additional straps. Is there an item code for the strap or would they be able to locate it given these details?

Also be aware the hole position on the GP strap is one less and sits between that of the rubber.
Pics should show what I mean better (both are standard length) Sorry not sure why Tapatalk has split it over three post |

Also, does anyone have any input on how a black hornback might look on the RG44? |

I may have missed it earlier, but why are you considering selling your RG44 Ben? Is it to fund another watch?

LOL...Yes it did cross my mind to sell it. But I decided against selling it for now. Thought of flipping it to fund the 5711-1R. Doesn't want too much cash tie down in my watch collection. I now have a crazy 16 watches in my collection! And that's excluding the cheaper ones. Definitely some consolidation is in order.

I'm with Tyler on this, in that 16 seems a lot. I now have 7, although one of those (the rose gold/ steel Rolex YM2) I want to shift. May well add another AP or two this year coming, depending upon what materialises for 2018, but I think quantity wise that needs to be the limit, with one in one out afterwards.

Ben, I agree with the boys, by all means get the 5711R but probably sell off a few of the less used pieces, def not the AP 44!

Thanks for the insight guys. I have decided to keep the RG44 for now. Too beautiful to sell. Yeah, 16 watches is really too much. Some of them are in the safe which I don't see them for ages and some I seldom even wear over a month. However, for one reason or another, I find it hard to get rid of any of them even with minimal wrist time. Whenever I feel like selling them, I put them on and I changed my mind. I wonder if you guys have this sensation? It's as if watches know they are going to be sold and start to "sing" very loud. My current collection is 7 APs, 2 JLCs, 2 Grand Seikos, 1 Zenith, 1 Patek, 1 Zenith, 1 UN and 1 Tudor.

Ben in that list you counted Zenith twice, maybe you’re down to 15 already?

Usually for me once I decide to sell it goes, but I usually have another piece in mind. I haven't sold and not bought for a few years now. |
