Schumi all the way. Better looking watch IMHO

Schumi for me. A more unique watch IMO. I also like the blue and red accents.

Agree with you when comparing these two specific watches. The Shumi in Tita is too muted for my taste. I owned the Shumi in Plat and sold it. The new anthracite sparkled/popped more when I tried it on recently. It's a gorgeous watch.

I would take the Anthracite as I feel that the pushers are wider on the Schumi and may dig into the wrist with normal movement

Well I'm not a fan of chrono watches, but if I had to have one of these I think I would go with the schumi, but none of these 2 would be on my list, even if they were in 42mm which is more the size I would want, like Ken said if to go 44mm the RG is the one I prefer

Out of those two....Shumi, simply because it's a more special piece. But I love the gold Barichello, if we are talking F1 themed pieces from AP

Agree! Schumi is more sophisticated in design and looks better with all the details. The new ceramic 44mm is superb but Schumi is at a different level

It's been fun reading all the responses here. I really liked the anthracite 44mm in person, but I agree as some of the wise men above stated, the sticker price seems high and difficult to swallow when the rose gold is right there. Maybe in a few years....

The Schumi is also a great looking watch, original and limited so quite appealing.
