AP ROO 44mm RG vs Schumi Titanium

[paphaw8]

As I realized both watches are currently priced very closely with each other around 46k-ish, I was wondering what would you guys pick between these two? And if you already have a 44MM SS, what will be your next 44? Pics are warmly welcomed!!

Put a cinder block in one hand and a feather in the other--that is the weight difference

I love the RG 44, but very heavy watch.

i had a same dilemma before, but i picked the 44mm rg. i am not used to the hour and min hands on schumi. i know this is personal preference. i was struggling among 44mm rg, rb2 and the schumi. aft careful consideration, i eliminated the schumi 1st. there is one good thing about the 44mm rg is not too awkward even wearing it with suit.

Great factors u got to consider there! But i currently have the 44mm SS now, and im not sure if it would be smart to take another 44mm but a rose gold instead. How would you handle if you are in this situation that im in?

Buy RG and FC

the ss 44 in your rotation is definitely a big factor

however to me the schumi just does not bring it
the monochromatic theme is a tad much and there is just something which i feel is missing with the chromo pushers on one side and nothing else on the other end.
the bezel screws are great looking and the ceramet bezel should be as practical as the ceramic bezel

the rg to me represents a great deal to what an AP is and not just the roo line
the added heft and the contrast between the gold and black with the sheer presence is something to reckon with

i might say this because i think the 42mm rgrc roo is one of the greatest looking watches on earth
and also because i personally cannot wear gold so the lure is even more prominent

the only case for the schumi is that it is limited and that it has the titanium which makes it lighter.. other than that the rbii is more of everything to me than the schumi

of course my extremely humble opinion :)

luckily i am not in this situation... i just spent few mins thinking really hard, but i couldnt figure out what to do if i have the 44mm ss. i might end up sell the 44mm ss and get the 44mm RG and then think about what to do next. i tried on the schumi three times, twice before buying the rg, and once just a week ago, and it just doesnt speak to me. esp aft trying it a week ago, i am pretty darn sure i made the right choice.

if you have to keep the 44mm ss, have you thought about the RB2? it is a gorgeous piece.

My friend owns an RB2, i have to admit it is a unique piece. However, i realized some elements that reminisce the 44mm SS.. i guess i'll have to pass the RB2

FC then RG 44.

RG 44 for me

RG 44 out of those 2.
If you throw the FC 44 into the mix, I'd take that over either.

Rg sounds better

Not to derail this thread, but I tried starting a new topic, and it didn't post for some reason.

Can someone confirm for me the sizes of the RB2 and the JPM? I'm considering those two and the GP, all in gold, and I've seen the RB2 and JPM listed anywhere from 42-46mm. I've tried on the GP and am certain it's 44mm; if the other two are smaller, it'll make my decision much easier.

Thanks!

RG44, love it together with the FC44

RB2 and the JPM are 42 mm. The GP is 44 mm.
I have the RG GP and it wears a lot bigger the the RG RB2.

Thanks, you just saved me hours of agonizing. I'll have to call my Finnish ex-girlfriend and tell her that not all Swedes are bad!

After seeing the Schumi in the flesh, definitely the titanium schumi. Though, if it were between the two Schumi versions (Ti and RG), then the RG Schumi!
