New toy
Had the Grand Prix for awhile but found it abit too colorful and fragile with the carbon bezel(don't get me wrong, I still like that watch but it's now with a new owner who loves it even more)... Been looking to add this one and finally decided to yesterday! =)

excuse the iPhone quality

Congrats Dennis! That's an awesome piece. I love the ceramic ROOs. May I ask what your wrist size is? I havent tried on many 44mm ROOs but they seem large for my 6.5" wrist.

I tried most of the 44mm ROO, seems more on the large side on my wrist as well. The best size ROO for me is the DIVER!

I hear ya. I am fascinated by the new carbon/ceramic Diver. Overall 42mm ROOs seem to be a nice size for me.

My wrist size is 7". I agree that 42mm offshores fit best but this one I think I can just pull off. :)

Thanks Dennis. I think you pull it off quite nicely. I guess I need to hit the weights for 0.5" more wrist.
