What's on your wrist today?

^ it's 44mm, like the grand prix. i posted a pic a while back of it on one wrist with a gp on the other wrist; the new 44mm steel roo (white dial) is very hefty and sits heavy on the wrist. this is in fact something i like about watches, and it was notably heavier than the 42mm panda

the black dial is nice because the darker colours match, but it will have a very hard time going against the new Diver imho which is a lot more conservative and thus classy. the white with the contrast going for it can be attractive to many, but the size/design/rawness might put off many more.
overall i was extremely underwhelmed with the new 44mm ROOs, their rubber bands to me are lazy and do not inspire like some hornbacks or sports leathers on the 42mms. imo they really miss the arabic numerals in the dial. i would like to see how they age, especially with the much more aggressive chrono pushers. their prices have gone a lot more up as well, making them in touch with the "Limited"s (according to the AP definition)
i don't think the new 44mm are out with rubberclad bezels yet
not sure if that will ever be offered even
the hype now is for black ceramic and forged carbon, and a couple other elements/alloys starting with Zs
personally not sure if the 44 should ever be offered WITH rubber bezels, it would be nice to have the RG, black dial, white dial RCs to become a thing of history
i for one would love to scoop a black dial RC for ~11k

I like the 39mm RO with black face. One of the few SS bracelet watches I would rock regularly.
