The pictures don't do it justice. In the flesh it's pretty stunning. That said though, the Camo strap isn't what I'd choose to have, although a nice bit of fun. It would be great on white I imagine, or the plain brown rubber, or even a decent croc/alligator brown.
If that's your own pic, having held it in hand, then you'll appreciate how nice it is. If you haven't held it in hand then for sure you need to. |

I've not seen one in real life, but from pics I really like it. It's unlikely I'd get one myself, as its a bit too similar to my older style RG44, but I reckon the brown bezel will surely work very well indeed with the RG case. A definite contender...

I have seen it irl. It's my pick out of the new camo range. Very nice piece. The bezel alternate between blackish to dark brown depending on lighting.

that goes without saying. I dont get the camo straps at all. I want the case to be the focal point. Too much going on with those straps for me

Of course the one big difference between this brown model and the RG/Black models is that this one is limited to 500 pieces, if that makes a difference to you. Personally, I buy what I like and only take the resale value into account later, but that's probably why I lose money every time I act like a fickle child and buy a new watch.

Looks really good, I like the brown subdials bit not the bezel.
I was just looking at the RG prices and this one is doing well, asking £45K, the other two subdials are also doing better than before at around £35K, so a 20% rise this year. Camo works well on these, but the GP is still the best, don't wear the black rubber any more now. |

The watch to me is great. The strap isn’t but is easily replaceable. It’s just too big for my wrist

Really amazing in the flesh. I went with the steel blue camo in the end but would definitely have got this one as well if I didn’t have the RG PoG coming later this year.
