My latest addition...an RG Dual Time!

Been looking for a YG Daytona black dial to add to my collection but this Dual Time "fell into my lap" so I was happy to snap it up! I have always had a preference for the fit of the 39mm Royal Oaks on my wrist.

A bracelet has been ordered from the local APSC for this Dual Time. Will take a couple of weeks but well worth the wait as I think the watch will look pretty good on bracelet. Will post pics then.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments!

I just mounted the watch on a black rubber strap - feels much more comfortable than the gator.

The Dual Time is stunning rose gold. Looking forward to seeing pics of it on the bracelet. Definitely a good decision to pick that up!

Yes it's an original AP strap. I have the rubber in both black and navy that I had purchased a couple of years ago for a 39mm ROC.

I also like it on the navy strap - in certain light angles, it makes the dial look like a deep blue.

Looks great on the rubber strap! Local used watch dealer had one in the window for several months in 2019 - in hindsight, pulling the trigger at ~$20k would have been the smart move

Wow 20k would be a sweet deal for a RG Dual Time! I paid substantially more for mine (32k to be exact) because this has a "J" serial, and the warranty book was dated in late 2017.

I was under impression AP had stopped production of this reference after "H" but they did continue to produce the RG model into "J".
