I'm in a bit of trouble...
My AD just got a Rubberclad in, latest version bien sure with black datewheel, updated numerals etc. My inclination has been to find the right time to pick up a 15202, but this, needless to say, makes for a better daily driver.
Oh well, choices... |

Patrick, I saw one for the first time this week. An impressive watch and may I say it suits your wrist very well.

How would you rate yours, Thomas? You have some nice pieces that competes for wrist time - you much are you wearing the RC? More durable than metal bezel APs?

The rubber bezel is very much tougher then the steel one and a steel version RC wont cost a arm and a leg to have replaced when the rubber is damaged or when it gets shiny after a long time wearing it.

Then you don't want to know what a RGRC bezel would cost

I can understand why, looks fantastic.
I had a white a little while back and it spent time on a both a Survivor strap a Diver strap. EXTREMELY comfy option if you end up grabbing it. |

There is a lot of talk about wrist presence. It is not important to me, rather I prefer that people don't notice my watch. I know we all buy watches for our own pleasure, however many ROO's have a tendency to stick out, but this Rubberclad somehow doesn't, if it does it is in the right amount. Most importantly, it makes me smile. What more can you ask for?

Basically this is the Rubberclad perfected.
Yes, I'm a Jumbo man at heart, but I can see why you're being swayed here, Patrick. Good luck, amigo. Regards, Adam |

You know, Adam, getting a Jumbo feels like I've finally grown up, but getting a Rubberclad like I'm extending my youthfulness a bit ;-)

Patrick, that RC is gorgeous! I think it might be time to pull the trigger and replace that Diver you had with this one.

Patrick, that's a great watch and should handle everyday wear well. I'm really considering the RG Jumbo as well but the RC wold be a great addition.
