trade in GP to M.Schumacher or Novelty Rose Gold

i'm currently have a AP GP and now dilemma to trade in to novelty rose gold ? Ti Michael Schumacher...or ....?
The reason why I want to let this GP go is because i feel the red and yellow dial is too sporty look. It's difficult to wear it during my working time.
I'm very appreciated you comment and hope you may help me....thanks

IMP Schumacher is better for daily use for two things:
1.It has an ideal color combo
2. it has a scratch resistant ceramic bezel (FC scratch, nicks, and dings magnet)

Schumacher hands down. Go try it on, and I guarantee you won't take it off.

Keep the GP and switch to a rubber strap and add the ceramic bezel :)

I have both, if I had to choose i'd take Grand Prix.

Between your decision, 44 Rose Gold HANDS DOWN!!!

Actually , I take it back, one AP for the rest of my life, Rose Gold 44….

It's classy, so sporty, just gorgeous !

I vote RG 44 Novelty

PS like others have said, I was never a gold guy…. that was, until…… done deal

Rose Gold is just sick :)

So is forged carbon though, not a titanium guy

PS what's with all of this FC so fragile, ding magnet, scratch magnet… i've hit mine a lot and it was fine, too many rumors

RG Novelty 44 is the nicest looking piece in the regular ROO collection. I wear mine very often.
