Incoming SIHH novelty!

Wasted no time snapping this one up. I predict this will be a huge success for AP. Much better in the flesh than most of the photos I had seen. Also offered the titanium at the time of purchase but waiting a little on that one.

Roger that looks awesome

Though I prefered the anthracite dial but these live pics have given me second thoughts, how are the blue accents think I would of prefered red.

I have to say Sam, the blue really works well in the flesh - very subtle indeed. I had the previous ceramic version with anthracite dial and I definitely prefer this one.

Great photos Roger, I liked it anyway but now it's clear to see that there is a lot more going on than just black ceramic.

I will probably get the ti as well but happy to wait a little. Grey dial sight contrasting sub dials looks better to my mind than the old ceramic with anthracite dial.

These pictures are great. I think I am indifferent between this one and the anthracite. It seems this was only pops in a lot of light like in your third picture.

It just seems dull otherwise. I think I might the right choice selling my anthracite and putting a deposit on the new RG. RG just pops in any light.

I feel like if they did a bright blue like they did on that old version of the diver that would have been awesome. Or a silver like the sub dials on the Ti. Actually a black dial, with anthracite sub dials and accents probably would have been awesome.
