ROO Panda 26400 SS or RG Rubberclad 42
After owning a SS Diver 2x, a volcano, and 15400 3x, I wanted to give one of these a shot. I liked the volcano the most out of the above models but just too much orange in the end so off it went. This will be a pretty much a daily piece. I would be looking at the Rubber Clad with the newer style dial if that sways you one way or another. I know the 44's wear much larger than the 42's. Any thoughts or wrist shots would be greatly appreciated!

Prefer the panda. But the best bet imo is stretch and get a 44 RG

Go for the 44!
The ceramic bezel and pushers are really nice |

I saw a 44mm Panda at CRM Jewelers for 20k. Full set. Probably the lowest I've ever seen it from a trusted seller. If i had the money i would of jumped on it. Probably not there anymore as he posts his deals to 140k instagrammers but its worth a shot to check.

I agree with others, the 44 is nicer, whichever the metal but having seen all in real I think the RG is the top one and the PT is second in terms of looks, but they are all really cool watch, and not so huge that you need to have a 9 inch wrist to wear it, I have 6.9 and it looked fine when I tried them on

As others have said, go for the 44. You will not regret it.

Both the Classic Panda and the newer dialed, black datewheel RGRC are VERY nice watches!
Both are very versatile and matching with many outfits for daily wear. They are each great choices for an "only" or main watch. I love the rubber bezel personally. Just depends if you want to wear RG every day, which is certainly more flashy than the SS. I love and prefer the 42 models, especially the Classic dialed ones. Basically, you can't go wrong with either!! Have fun and enjoy! |

I really like the RG44 (esp ceramic bezel post I series) but it is just too big. The 42mm RG is the right size and the rubber bezel still works really well (but would still prefer if it was ceramic !).
So to the Op question, 42mm RG from those two for me. The PM element and size winds it for me |
