Ha! I wanted the Las Vegas edition with diamonds. An ex talked me into the blue.

Already owned it twice but always happy to own it if one comes up as it is a great watch.

Interestingly i was in an AD today and I reckon the Montoya that I was wearing is actually heavier than the 44mm "Novelty" Platinum despite it's smaller size.

I need to get all four on the scales.

Not saying you need to sell. I would sell it because I don't like it lol. I'd use that money for an RM or concept AP instead.

What an odd thing to feel compelled to tell someone. I'll never understand that about this place.

Got me thinking Roger - are you going for the ROO Platinum Tourbillon Chronograph which you were contemplating a while ago?

Forum is for discussing opinions. Someone may like it, someone may not. That's life. That being said, can't wait to see his new addition, since either way he always has great pieces.

I'd be interested to see maybe that new tourbillon chronograph ROO 44mm.

beer · 19 March 2017, 07:58 AM

i dont know the names but i like the one with the carbon fibre bezel

brettpaul · 19 March 2017, 08:15 AM

RB is my favorite of those three, but if you could get the Schumi back......

Hairdude1 · 19 March 2017, 08:17 AM

What a trio Roger!

That's fair enough but have you seen one in the flesh? I think if you wore one it might grow on you. The platinum case details and blue dial with special pattern is amazing. I own RMs but I will not buy a Concept as they don't fit me properly.

I can't be too specific I am afraid but I suspect it will get your thumbs up. Sadly it is about 12 months away.

What is wrong with the fit? You mean the size? Or the strap?

12 months??? That's way too far from now. Just tell us what it is lol. You can't say you have incoming then say it's 12 months away.

Er, Roger can!

Because it will be truly epic! Let's just say he has a proven track record when it comes to this sort of thing.

It doesn't have the case curvature to wrap my wrist correctly so there are huge gaps under the lugs.

Regarding my incoming It is a unique commission so takes a long time to make.

Notwithstanding this I will likely have another special incoming to report in a few days but it won't be in the AP section!

Patek?

Interesting about the case curvature you are mentioning. The carbon one and lap timer are my favorite concepts. But on a video review I was watching on the carbon concept, the guy specifically said how this would fits better because now there are not any more gaps due to the case design.

Have you tried that one?

Here is a good review on it.

I have stopped buying Pateks. The incoming is something else that I think may be a first for TRF!

The Lap Timer is a slightly better fit than the other Concepts but still not comfortable enough for me and the Supersonnerie also doesn't fit. By fitting rubber straps and using a very tight notch on a pin buckle (not deployant) it is just about wearable but that isn't good enough at that price level.

How about the carbon concept that I posted video of? Why did you stop buying pateks?

jschmidtdmd · 20 March 2017, 12:42 PM

I would really like to try on the GMT Tourb Concept......that one has had my eye for quite awhile.

I agree with Rodger about the fit of the Laptimer. It's an amazing watch, but it's just too big and doesn't fit right for me.

I don't particularly like that design I am afraid.

I don't think I need to rake over old coals on my Patek decision, as it serves no purpose. It is a great brand and I wish them well. I have retained my 5970P for the moment and am selling my 5270R.

benlee · 20 March 2017, 10:41 PM

Is there a discernable visual difference between AP SS and AP Platinum in ROOs? Given how well AP can polish SS. Just curious....

Look forward to that special incoming!
