Yes it does. Leave the English to the experts, you just stick to your expertise of spotting Hublots.

Was wondering why I couldn’t find this model on Chrono24 so jumped on here and searched... I cannot believe what I have just read. “Grey Ghost” indeed. WTF are AP doing with this? They have obviously made a mistake somewhere down the line, be it problems with grey ceramic, false advertising or whatever. It’s July already and I really want this watch...

Nice but I would probably consider another ROO if they make a 42 with the pushers of the 44's, just the bezel won't cut it for me to get one, but I do have another so...

No as I know... There is even no live shot of final production model as some members confirmed that it will feature vertical brush lines ceramic bezel...

Maybe we’re the ghosts and we’ll see it when we’re dead? How’s that for a twist.

No one could when watching it on live TV on a manager's moving wrist in a football game, other than guys who freeze frame pics of Hublots for some bizarre reason.

Any updates out there? I was originally told end of July by my local AD and the New York boutique, and now July has come and gone. Local AD has no clue when this thing will drop.

The rubber strap seems to be two-tone, hope its not from the same vendor that did the red/black strap as that looked and felt cheap.

PP is also delaying and taking their sweet time with the new Basels, looks like the Rolexitis of keep them starving is really contagious.

The first batch of this watch are coming in. AP boutique just sent me this pic. I haven't seen it yet in person.




But my initial impression is it's rather meh.....
