Gorgeous! Enjoy it in good health! Still think their date integration is second-to-none.

From Xavier's interview with EsperLuxe he said there will be an LE of 10 pieces of the Rattrapante around Xmas or early next year which will be a tribute to Karel Capek (hope I spelt the need correctly), who invented something probably has to do with robots in 1921 and then another large LE of possibly 77- 99 pieces next year.

Question now is what will be the changes/mods between the 3 different series.

Just my opinion ofcourse with regards to the robot

OK, looks like I exaggerated with my estimate. 300k is not that bad, though.

No auction fees at onlywatch so 240k is the final price.

Indeed this seems to be a glitch of the Christie's website that shows all the numbers including a non-existent buyer's premium.

I find it quite comfortable. Easy to size on your own and get a good fit with the included extra links. Easy to swap back and forth with a rubber or leather strap. Aesthetically it's a matter of taste. I personally like the polished C-shaped center links and the taper from case to clasp is spot on. The clasp itself is pretty low profile, closes securely, and has a smooth fit along the wrist. I'm looking forward to the adjustable clasp whenever that becomes available.

Saw this prototype salmon dial when visiting the Geneva boutique. What a stunner. Most likely the best dial so far.

No, its not normal because its a prototype. The bracelet is much looser than the one on my Antarctique.

Congrats! I think that at least half of the watches Czapek has ever sold are on this very forum.

Saying hello from Marco Island! I am loving this watch. It’s lived most of its life on the bracelet. Feels great on the rubber strap for beach and pool duty

Looks great! Your photos have me torn on which dial color to order.

I don’t think you can go wrong with your choice. I went with white as my other sport watches are all black dials.

Holding up just fine I wish I’d brought the bracelet and little strap changing tool with me to change up my look from daytime activities to dinner time.

White seems like a solid choice after seeing your pics. I was set on the upcoming light blue for a change of pace but am not sure if I'll tire of it. It also depends on the exact shade it ends up being once in production.

What they need is a quick-change dial system.

I have the light blue dial on order, I saw one in the flesh last week it’s spectacular. The model has a Royal oak feel imo. My retirement gift to myself if it is here by spring.
