There are watches like this... how much do you like it? I mean, your favorite among all those of your collection? [nt]

You would be surprised.

I’m really fascinated by the RG (my first colored metal watch). I would rank it just behind the 5740/1G which is my favorite. But it’s a very close call between those two. I definitely like it better than 15202IP and the SS Nautis I have.
