Am I the only one?

....who finds it odd that AP doesn't offer a 42mm ROO in RG with a ceramic bezel? It seems like such an obvious winner for those of us who think the 44mm RG novelty is too big but find the rubber clad bezel lacking lustre. Those two models should mate.

Something like that probably makes sense........and is most likely something we will see introduced.....SIHH 2015 anyone ??

Love the recently retired rubber clad and think it is perfect as is with plenty of luster or appeal!

I agree RG RC is a classic, still looks as good today as it did when it was released.

I think that in the fullness of time we will see the 42mm line up with some ceramic bez options and probably the Diver too.

Both the 42mm & 44mm RG are awesome and they have their individuals characteristics! I would says the 42mm RG Rubberclad is more comfortable on the wrist and she not so loud, while the 44mm RG Novelty is more of a show-off beauty queen! You can't miss it! In terms of the movements, the 42mm RG Rubberclad is anytime better then the 44mm RG Novelty!

Many of us have clamored for this. Maybe AP will give it to us next year.
