Unfortunately I won’t be finding one of these under the tree this year (or likely ever!), but it was a delight to try one on at the AP boutique in HK.

It is a stunning combination of colours and contrasts - absolutely beautiful.

awesome watch

and then five minutes later...:

LOVE that reference!. Put a ceramic bezel on it and it would be my perfect watch.

That...and a 70% discount and I’m there!

Actually, the sandblasted titanium looks incredible and, while I’m with you on the ceramic bezel’s practicality, aesthetically I think the TI bezel works better.

SC11 · 22 December 2017, 03:29 AM

Agree the sandblasted Ti does look good.

edo · 22 December 2017, 03:35 AM

The plastic wrap hide a bit the perfect mix of blasted and polished surfaces... the movement in this one have a RM vibe and I like it better compared with already mentioned 26348IO Ali Bin Ali and Audemars Piguet For Material Good Royal Oak Tourbillon Chronograph Squelette...

Also to add the model I’m pictured wearing had already picked up a few marks which would be my only concern with the finish!

(Mind you it’s out of my league to be worrying about that)

pretty sure AP would do that if you bought it. I think Roger did something similar to his RG tourb.

Sandblasted Ti and a ceramic bezel might not look good though.

didn't think of that, but yes that would probably look great.

It was Arije so guessed there would be some movement, but didn’t bother asking as I most likely couldn’t afford the discount

Harrods offered to knock 1p off the Supersonnerie to Ash when he asked

yeah, i figured that was Harrods. No idea about Arjie. Good for them though for getting that watch.

SC11 · 22 December 2017, 04:20 AM

Arije didn’t have any of these on display it was only after we got sat down and chatting they got the goodies from out back

Those are great shots of the 26518st. It too is a stunner

tng11 · 22 December 2017, 07:56 AM

I need to try that one on at the HK boutique... going there in 3 days!

Hopefully they’ll have some nice pieces in!

So far this has been the pinnacle

conkers · 22 December 2017, 12:27 PM

when I examined this piece I didn’t think it would work too well with the ceramic bezel to be honest. I still have 4 months to wait for my special piece.
