Icon10 Some Rose Gold 44 Love

Such a badass watch. Initially was a little bothered by the weight, but that passed. The ceramic/RG finishing is impeccable.

Already making me consider another offshore. Just a perfect casual watch.

Wide strap, not too top heavy. It works

Congrats! RG44 is definitely one of the best looking AP's.

The contrast was great but the weight... can’t be your only watch

Beautiful! I’m currently locked in on looking for the right 44 for myself. Looks great on you!

I've had one for a few months now. The only time I notice any issue with it being top heavy is when I'm putting it on. I highly recommend putting it on sitting down. I lay the face down on my leg while sitting and put it on that way, just to be safe. I've heard horror stories about guys dropping the RG44 while trying to put it on standing up.

I agree. It's not an everyday watch, but it amazing.

As been said it has a wide strong strap so doesn't feel top heavy to me, I used to wear it as my most used daily/beater watch when I had no SS for a few months, and forgot it was on, so no issues for me. I still don't have a real mark on the RG case in 2 years, only on the buckle, so it's superbly protected on that score.

I bury the dial into my chest as I buckle it up, so that way it can't fall.

Amazing watch - kind of gutted the 44s sit too big for my wrist as there are some incredible options.

Go for it. It’s the only all gold watch I would consider. Not very flashy and the contrast of the pink gold and ceramic is sublime.

Its been an interesting slow-burn for me, as on initally seeing the newer version i thought if i ever went for a colored gold as flashy as RG i would do the older version...but now I have been starting to appreciate the non-contrast chrono subs and the sleek black look of the dial...

I already have a 44 Ti, so have the contrast covered for when i want that...

I saw both and for me the all black was sleeker and sexier, the white looked a bit dated to me. It’s still beuatiful. Cannot go wrong.

The all black did it for me. Sleek and sexy.

Ultimate offshore combo gold and ceramic irrespective of dial preference. In all 44 probably in my humble opinion is the best designed sports watch.
