Could one day happen if I keep buying watches.

But then, though my 16 watches sound a lot, I know of collectors that have more watches than the number of days in a calendar year.

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.

Here you go... It's a blue enamel dial UN.

Are these all of the 44mm chronographs or I missed some? Didn't include tourbillons, jewelry models and 44mm models in different cases (Schumis, Lebron, pre44 models like GP....)...

Posted the SS two times because of the slightly dial change at some point... and there is Byblos edition identical as Summer beside case back logo...

The 44s are a great and handsome selection, but this is still tops for me. Panda dial, finely brushed ceramic and brushed gold, and mirror-polished sexy pushers.

I tend to agree Neil, I think the RG44 is an almost a timeless classic, the mix of rose gold with matte and polished black, plus silver highlights perfect. I still prefer this older version to the new one, as I think the dial is too dark on the latter. That said the Summer Edition is my favourite, particularly on blue strap.

I prefer this older model too.

What’s up with the white ceramic and blue dial 44?
Never seen that one!

Couldn't agree more! I am convinced over time, once the novelty factor of "new RG44" wears off, most will be convinced this is the better version.

The silver subdials look great and your photos capture the sheen beautifully but I can't get over my black subdials. I don't believe the novelty effect had any influence on my purchase but I do know that I will be riding with the black knight through the night

I think they both look great, but some of us care about Wildlife Conservation so it's the panda dial for us wholesome souls.

Yes these are all suitable for the 44mm.

The tang on the 44mm has a wide buckle but it looks like the first reference has a much thinner hole. Looks like it might not fit the first reference in the top left of the chart

Now that’s a commitment collecting! Almost hoarding

Looks awesome on the red GP. I'm contacting AP now and seeing if the new RG sides rubber strap on the Tourby will fit the RG 44.
