Laco pro or one of the original cases, depending in your personal tastes, any day of the week. They are not in the same league as IWC but the value, quality and heritage are unmatched. Is a pilot watch collection really complete without a Laco flieger in either the A or B dials?

6x....6k vs. 1k.

That King Turtle is a favorite and it feels imaging!

I thought the GMT 500 felt great on the wrist. I tried them on when I was ordering my 222. I thing its probably the most practical sports watch in RGM's current lineup.

And to the point of the OP, I also love the fact that there is now an RGM badge as well. I think that he is the sort of watchmaker whose work would really thrive on Watchcrunch if we could produce some more media around it. It's thoughtful, considered and studied by enthusiasts rather than necessarily being adored by the masses. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Swiss steel sports watch as much as the next guy and I wear a lot of them. But what someone like RGM is brining to the table is just an all together different conversation.

I am really looking forward to picking up my RGM 222-RR this spring (ordered in November). And now I am finding myself thinking that I really need something with the 801 movement. (Not that I regret the 222, I truly think in its current iteration it's the best designed watch in their collection. It's that good). I really liked the 801-Aircraft when I visited, and its the style of watch I would be most likely to wear. But now that I have one of their enamel dials on order, it almost seems like it would be sacrilegious not to get something rose-engine turned as the follow-up act? One way or another, I have a hard time believing that RGM has managed to stay under the radar for this long. Still, it's amazing to have a resource like that just sitting in my general area. If people had any sense his little workshop in Mount Joy would be absolutely mobbed. I guess I should be grateful that this hasn't happened yet. RGM is the "old world" reality that so many of more famous independent only pretend to be.

I personally would only wear the 300m on rubber. But for some reason I adore the bracelet on the Planet Ocean divers? I somehow feel they are better suited to the work case.
