Another novelty incoming
Second incoming this year to accompany my Ti44. Went with the new generation RG44. Really struggled between the old and new dial, the old one being photogenic and classic. Since I already have a panda dial, I decided to go with more modern look and to differentiate from the Ti. The new dial looks amazing IRL, difficult to capture all the details in photos. Rose gold applied markers and hands really pop. It is very legible in dark conditions as well.

Big surprise was the weight and comfort. Couldn't really tell the difference to my Ti44, so I had to weight it LOL. It was 237 grams, but I don't feel the weight on the wrist at all. I have worn this watch 24/7 with no problem, very wearable indeed. The only difference I noticed between Ti44 and RG44 was that the black rubber strap is a bit stiffer on the RG44.

I really like this watch and I am surprised how comfortable it is. I also love the Ti for different reasons.

Here are some random pics. I'm a lousy photographer, so please bear with me :)

Very nice. Do yourself a favour and put it on a black leather GP strap with red edging - it works really well, is very comfortable and will differentiate it even further to the Ti.

I like them both equally, but for different reasons. I think they complement each other very well, a perfect pair in my opinion
