Hi Marcus,
I agree that the blue riders are what I struggle with. I love the concept, and with black riders I suspect it would work really well.
The aesthetic of the RG version works really well and everyone I show those pics to loves it.

Warm regards,
Tim

Did a designer quite Rolex and start working for UN? I know UN is trying to get into new markets (it seems to be working) and that this is neccessary for thier business survival but I hope they wont stray too far from thier origins....this is too far.
Same hope!
