RGRC Update

Just got an email from AP saying that they already started production of the updated RGRC with the 3126/3840 caliber. Would you rather wait for the new movement or get the good old 2226/2840?

I really like the new 3126/3840 caliber, however, I really hope that they won't increase the retail price. Since the recent price drop, the RGRC is a steal!

I wouldn't think they would increase the price if the design is still the same and the complication is still the same.

Does it have displayback otherwise the old RGRC is still an absolute steal.

Is there a "re-imagination" anytime soon?

This is what François-Henry Bennahmias, CEO of AP said:

" The Rubber Clad will continue for a little while, and then we’ll see it re-imagined. It has been very successful for us, but it’s been the same watch for a long time. It’s going to be time to do something a bit different, and so in time we’ll see this."

I would say another 3 years, especially since the updated version is coming out in summer...
