Incoming!

No teasing no fanfare just straight out with it.

And I have to say that I had this ordered before Paul took the plunge so I am not just copying him!

Not sure about the green but will wear for a bit and see.

I actually find it super hard to read (I don't even know where the date is tbh), but, really like the watch :)

Oddly I think I really like the green too! Which is strange as all my watches are very dull and dressy.

Very nice Roger - the green strap is cool, goes well with the green in the dial.
Big congrats

Just deciding now whether this one needs a matching green crown.

Is that it!? Where are the other two ones!? Ahhahahha

Congratulations Roger. The electric green band does not fly under the radar but neither does the head! You do have more formal pieces... You can have some fun with this one (for a while) I guess.

Big date at 12, month at 4.30pm - it is an annual calendar. My eyesight is definitely failing which doesn't help!

WOW--absolutely stunning Roger! This is what I like to wake up and see on the forum.

Love to hear your impressions after a few days. And in all fairness Roger did have his ordered before mine.

Pics in RM thread when have a moment so we can add to the rest.

Only Roger would buy a watch to match his keyboard :-)

ENJOY THAT RG GMT!

Congrats Roger. The green looks good. Goes well with the keyboard. Yellow and black might also look good :)

Congrats! Amazing watch and I love the green!

Out of curiosity, does RM make a rubber strap without the cutouts?

No unvented rubber ones as Paul says, but they have a silk like strap which actually dates back to their early years. They were appallingly poor wearing in those days (I had a 005 in about 2007 IIRC), and split at the case interface very easily. The current ones are a lot more resilient, but the fitment I think isn't precise enough for me. Same issue with their alligator straps.
