Ah yes! It looks quite different between the top and middle photos. It is a great piece.

Wow, just surprised you don't have the Schumacher in PT, really love that one. But that is a crazy bunch of watches ok just read that you regret selling it, I regret not getting the TI when they were at around 42-45eur...

Wouldn't that be the icing on the cake there!

Yes Roger, it's really missing from the AP PT collection, need to get one back for sure.

Thank you for being willing to share pics. That collection in insane!

Can you comment on how you think the ALS (it's a Datograph, right?) ranks with the other watches you've owned? What is your opinion of ALS as a brand in general?

Double Split and Datograph Perpetual in platinum. I think they are amongst the best watches I have owned and find the quality and finishing above most other brands. The Datograph Perpetual has legibility issues with my worsening eyesight as the fonts are incredibly small. The Double Split is arguably the finest looking movement out there. Sadly as with most other brands resale is an issue, which is important to me.

Congrats man. You probably have the most crazy collection I have seen.

Are you a stock broker? I need to do what you do for work. :)

Not for disclosure on a public forum sorry. As I mention I have moved on from managing specific portfolios. You can PM me if you want further information.

Very, Very nice, Roger!

I just tried on the new ROO pt and it's lovely. 15mm in height, awesome sport watch. Great heft!

Have you tried the Royal Oak tourbillon in pt? That's glorious as well.

TRF would be really boring sometimes if we didn't have Roger, I really mean it, most crazy incomings and can't wait for the special piece, already know 80% of what it is, sure of the brand and a few of the complications, no he didn't tell me, but easy to guess, quite happy to have been the deciding factor behind it with my modest KV 1/1...

I'm pretty sure we'll be seeing a Hublot LaConkers.
