Thanks for sharing - great pics as ever.

Really like the look of the rose gold model. Excellent colour combination

Nice review. Thanks for sharing. I like the blue one. The color just pops.

Hi Submarino how does the dial on the blue watch compare with the blue of the platinum version? I’m still surprised that AP made this SS version look so close to the platinum.

I quite like the RG brown, but its too close to my RG44. I don't go for the camo straps either, and I'd prefer an all brown strap. I think if AP are sensible they should offer that.

There is one, and an all blue and green strap.

I would love to see these on the solid colour straps.

This article led me to see the RG version in a whole new light. It looks very interesting.

The all blue strap is a brand new blue, IMO a nicer shade than the old one made for the Schumacher.

I typically am not a fan of camouflage but it works for all three of these watches.

AP had the brown and blue version at the Gleneagles golf event earlier in the month. The brown version looked way way better in the flesh than from the pictures. I have a Summer Edition that is so 'delicate' because of the bezel, but I think that this brown version with the brown ceramic bezel looks great.

I have a blue version coming and it is indeed a blue that pops, quite different from the platinum blues, somewhat more of an 'extreme' blue. I'm not sure about the camo strap though, but with the plain blue that it comes with or a white strap then I hope that this is going to be a daily wearer for me.

Has any one come across any photos of these on the solid colour straps? My (admittedly quick) google search turned up very few

Last pic in the article. Not great pic and not ‘live’ but gives an idea.

All I've seen are the same pics as the ones above, but I know that the blue strap is more royal blue than navy blue. I should have mine in a couple of weeks and will post pics with both the original straps and white also.

Saw the blue camo in person and it looked great.
Vibrant and bright.

Thank you - the blue is really growing on me and I’ll be keen to see the RG on the brown strap IRL
