Your name should be “Bonkers” because your incomings are always the best kind of crazy. Thank you for sharing your photos and experience.

Lovely piece, of course, but in my eyes the strap really let's it down.

Interesting. I really love the alcantara. But I have blue rubber on pin buckle and shiny navy croc for when I want to change so covering all the bases.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Yes I had to put in some serious groundwork with the big boss to get the go ahead! Plus also buy about 50 pieces over the last 5 years!

Gorgeous Roger, absolutely stunning, many congratulations! I think similar to any new releases from SIHH, you need to showcase it and take it on a world tour!

And not ‘run of the mill’ pieces at that!

I asked if they would exchange the SS case/bracelet on my 15407st for ceramic....

More chance of finding rocking horse poo!

I would like to see your watch on a custom GP with dark blue leather and contrasting blue alcantara

Personal taste of course but I feel the straps on the ROO looks better with added texture be it the grooves in the rubber strap or even more so the contrasting materials and ridges that make up the GP strap.

I couldn't agree more. I really like the GP strap I now have on my RG44. Its not for hot weather though - its like having a thick leather jacket wrapped around your wrist!
