Bought the RG Rubberclad in 2011 and loved it and wore it for 2.5 years.

Recently sold it and "moved" on up to the 44mm RG ROO Novelty.

I think its going to take winning the lottery to make the final leap to the ultimate AP RG ROO...the tourbillon!!!

Wrist shot and a pic with its two "younger brothers" below...

Looks pretty damn sweet though!

texex91 · 22 August 2013, 01:22 AM

Beautiful!

And yes, the Tourbillon would take some serious $$

orangedial · 22 August 2013, 02:16 AM

Did you see it at Elements Mall? I just saw it today. Stunning!

There is at least 3 of them in HK that I've seen and that are still at the respective AD/Boutique.

(1) Elements Mall AP Boutique
(2) Carlson Watches AD in Central
(3) Ocean Terminal AP Boutique

Gold overload - I love it!

alljunks · 22 August 2013, 06:46 AM

Great choice!!

ec00421 · 22 August 2013, 07:05 AM

TBH, I think 44mm RG ROO looks better than the Tourbillon

Soly20 · 22 August 2013, 07:14 AM

Love it. Congrats!

The tourbillon is on a short list of two items I have at the moment.

Mind you, I would change the carbon bezel for ceramic probably.

Great idea Roger, when I win the lottery, I'm going to copy you and do this too!

nick c · 23 August 2013, 02:34 AM

Awesome pices

GS93108 · 23 August 2013, 09:42 AM

Why? The ceramic is plain, the carbon has life.
However, there is no ceramic bezel anyway, so moot point, good luck finding any interchangeable parts.

Nice family shot though.

Plain or not, I prefer the resilience of ceramic for the bezel. AP will customise pieces for me, I am a very good customer.

GS93108 · 23 August 2013, 11:29 AM

Your watch your choice. But, if you get a good bezel with character I bet you'll never change, it would essentially be a downgrade. Lighting is everything, ceramic is one dimensional, the same in all lighting, carbon has a life of its own, plain to wow, all based on how the light catches it. Just my opinion, nothing more.

Bigbadbns · 22 August 2013, 09:41 AM

Like you i would pick this up if/when i win the lottery haha

Tried one on in Taipei and it's a beauty. Three of my buddies all have one and i think they're the first three or only three in Taipei to own this one.

Epwerkz · 22 August 2013, 01:47 PM

love the tourbillon RG

dnutz · 22 August 2013, 01:50 PM

you can do it Chang! Then I can borrow it... hahaha

GS93108 · 24 August 2013, 02:55 AM

Honestly, it really isn't plain at all, get it into the light and you'll love it. Equally it is reasonably robust. Good luck and I hope you strike a deal.

sea-dweller · 25 August 2013, 02:29 AM

Very nice!

iLLGT2 · 25 August 2013, 04:12 AM

NICE! At least you got wear out of your rubber clad.. I got one last week new dial and haven't wore it once because of my lust for the 44 :( lol

Congrats

TSW · 25 August 2013, 06:38 PM
