Nice watch. Congrats!

I'd also have to say that I prefer the old dial.

Thanks for the additional pics Tyler! I tried this on at the Bal Harbor AP boutique a few weeks back when visiting florida and I can't get it out of my head, stunning and torn!

To be honest, I am also very tempted to get one. One thing for sure, the comfort of this ROO is unrivalled. I can wear it all day, seven days a week without taking it off.

I do love the ROO comfort. Perfect balance.

But RM is even more comfortable IMHO. Go try some on Ben

That looks great and seems this steel/grey dial and black ceramic on rubber combo is a must for partnering with the RG 44 as I and I believe Tyler also have our eyes on the new WG Panda Daytona.

I agree Neil, tried it on at Selfridges early March, colour contrast is great and very comfy on wrist. If I didn't have Ti Schumi it would be top of my list

Now that people have seen many pictures of the new RG. Let me ask everyone this. Would you get this new RG? Or, one of the new RG ROCs on a band assuming they all get the in house chrono for the 2018 models? And if you would prefer the RG ROC, which one would you get?

What are thoughts on putting the grey strap of the 44 Ti on the 44 CE?

No, I still don't like the new new RG44, seen it irl many times actually and it still does not sing to me, at all. As for inhouse ROC, yes but let's wait and see 2018 models.

I think the 44 CE should remain all black.

Many congrats on the new watch sir, what a great watch it is and thanks for the pics. That very same store so nearly sold me the original dial 44mm RG in I think mid-late summer of last year - the same one AK was looking at perhaps!? They are good there.

This is a great comparison pic, the new dial is an aggressive design! I love it, very cool. Here today I'd take the new dial, but longer term I think the old dial will age better.

Ben, I sent you a PM as well, but what other colors are available for the strap?
I cant seem to get access to a strap catalog.

That's weird, but no worries.

I have no idea what colors are available.

I think it's blue, grey and black for rubber. Maybe some other colors. For leather there's black. Basicaly all the straps on various LE and current production models are available for purchase separately at boutique or APSC. Its possible to order a custom strap but takes a long time.

Thanks Ben!
I would have to agree with you that CE has to go with black rubber.
I was giving it some thought to add color for the spring/summer season.
