I'd honestly feel blind not being part of the RWG community. Funny how owning a rep often leads to a gen purchase. I was content w/my gen Rubberclad for 7 yrs, then had an itch for a rep 09 Silver Themes, which lead to a gen 09 Themes, which lead to a gen Montauk and 09 Ti Themes. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADRED7 Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yeah great looks....appears like a time-out at the pool in the Hamptons....have you been to the launch party with London-Jewelers for this MH? I think it looks way nicer with the white rubber, cheers Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daytonaboy Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 A lame iPhone pic on black strap. With the black pushers, the combo actually works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, D Very true. I purchased sight unseen, expecting a teal/turquoise as rendered in official promo pics/press. The true "sky blue" didn't initially appeal, but really grew on me once worn outside. Almost "glows" in the sunlight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sql_pl Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) It is a surprise how poorly gen strap plots seem to fit - they look very loose. But surely a great watch overall! Edited June 23, 2010 by Sql_pl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daytonaboy Posted June 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 It is a surprise how poorly gen strap plots seem to fit - they look very loose. But surely a great watch overall! The tolerances are actually very tight. If you're referring to the "gaps" above each plot, this space allows the strap to pivot further outwards and exhibits no slop/play.

Yes I also think it would be very different in colour then what is shown in your pics. I almost pulled the trigger on the GP AP carbon as an investment, use for a year or so then sell but I backed out, now I regret due to I think it will be going for a huge extra on the second hand market. Enjoy it bro, looks damn good on white rubber, I would try it on white hornback whit light blue stitching also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having witnessed some very tattered daily-worn Team Alinghis, I'm not convinced of forged carbon durability. Unlike SS or Ti, there's no opportunity to refinish. Hornbacks are fun, but render case cleaning a PITA. Once they're wet, they fall apart. $520 a pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tridad Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 Finally mounted the white strap .. didn't think I could pull off, but actually really growing on me. I just sent Josh some pics of this one, including the correct case back, etc... Let's hope the factory makes it, it should not be so hard to replicate. Keeping my fingers crossed!! Cheers!
