Your RBII look really nice with the survivor strap. Why is the RBII smaller? It says in the specs both RBII and schumi are 44mm right?
My friend has a schumi and I have fitted it and it fits my small wrist but I think it's because of the rubber strap. I haven't seen an actual RBII yet,
But I really like the contrast of the bezel and base, not like the schumi which I find kinda bland. Really like the cermet material though.

Also, some people say that watches need to be service every 5 years, does it also apply to AP watches? It's also one thing that's holding me back from
Buying and RBII coz the watch is quite an old model.

We're glad to have you on board. I'm happy to offer some opinions on the watches. The RB2 was a direct evolution of the Juan Pablo Montoya Offshore. It also brought with it some new and distinctive details, most notably the ceramic bezel and open dial. It...

The RBII wears a bit bigger than its stated size

By: MichaelC : July 2nd, 2014-14:42

of 42mm. The base case on a Schumacher is 44mm. AP recommends servicing a watch every 3-5 years depending upon usage, condition, etc. I can tell you my RBII has not yet been serviced at 8 years and it runs like a top. I bought it brand new a year ago from...

OK! Thanks for your input MicahelC

I'm leaning more on the RBII. I will have to see personally first. Thanks again for your help.
