Not my style of watch either, but that movement is super cool. :thatshot:

Interesting how they chose to use it, too. :fro:

Steve, now that is cool !!! Definitely out of the price range, but
still is so much fun to see. :grin: The shape is amazing, but so is all
of the attention to detail with it. ..RGM is pretty incredible, and
it's more than impressive to see what they come up with like
this. Thanks a lot for the news !

I've never been much of a MOP guy - in fact, quite dislike MOP on most dials. But, something about the way RGM was using it in its 300 divers appealed to me, and before I knew it Rich and I were creating this one:

The engraving on the back is a nod to my Midwestern roots.

Image

Rich even let me go with a different movement - started with an Omega 1120 which ultimately received a custom RGM rotor.

Image

Image

Under most lighting conditions I love staring at this one.

Image

Every now and then it gives off a bit of bling, but it's a small price to pay.

Love RGM stuff! Great looking movement. Roland and Richard are both really nice fellas and super down to earth despite their prices :) Although if you're charging $100 an hr for R&D, engineering, and machine time and looking for a hefty profit 20k may not be too far off.....

Great MOD on the 300, Know thats what sets RGM apart from the rest. They will customize any of there watches to your liking, or make you a 1 of a kind piece. I love that you can have them re-work a old movement and help you design a watch to put it in. Yeah its pricey but hey its the only one like it.
