Quick question, how long did you have your RGRC for?

I just bought a new dial, brand new and didn't even get it yet (monday) yet now i'm thinking damn, should've gone for a 44 :(
I bought my G series (old dial) RGRC back in Jan 2011 so had it for a little over 2.5 years. Anyway you can cancel the order and save up for the 44mm??

The 42mm is an awesome watch. I don't think you'll regret it

Impressions after 24 hours...
This is one shiny watch!

The 44mm has the same "look" as the RGRC but yet so different. The biggest difference is the ceramic bezel and the chrono pushers. The ceramic just catches light where the RGRC bezel has more of a matte look. The same with the difference in dials. The RGRC has a matte look where the 44mm has gold markers, gold hands, and a gold AP sign.

The ceramic pusher design is much more modern but I have to say the rubber nub pushers gave the RGRC more of an old school sporty look.

The clear case back is a bonus. Love being able to see the engine behind this machine but RGRC's solid case back is no slouch. It looks very industrial and really means more gold!!!

Overall the RGRC is more sporty where the 44mm is just (I hate to say it) a badass show off piece. Very luxurious and blingy!! Love it.

Quick comparison shot (photos courtesy of the Internet).

You were smart to grab it when you saw it.

They are not very easy to find. Congrats ROO Blood Brother.

Also the one thing that the photos just cannot capture with this watch is how it catches the light. It twinkles like a diamond and casts very interesting reflections onto walls. Really love mine.

You may be right. I have a 6.75-7 inch wrist but I still love it! I also have a DSSD but by far this is the biggest watch I own.
