Great write-up Paul! This was awesome and so in depth. Also, tell them to make a 42mm Ceramic ROO for girly men like me with tiny wrists LOL!

You didn't buy El? Is it the same concept body shape as the previous concept models? If so, it only fits the very largest of wrists probably. Won't work for me.

It's not exactly like the previous models. This one is wider more horizontal. It wears a bit large but not too much to be honest. It is quite a piece. A bit on the high price side for me for what it is. Also 221pcs not that limited IMO

The Schumi V2 I agree is amazing but 221 is NOT a limited edition piece for $250k in my opinion. They said it's a 5 year rollout as well--ouch!

Interesting thanks. I think the self-winding tourbillon (50 pieces) I just posted is more appealing.

This is amazing. I am making the trek in a month and a half and simply cannot wait to see these facilities and hopefully share some of the same experiences!

Wow why haven't I seen this thread before. Paul I must say that the photos are awesome. I am only recently getting into the AP world. I will be getting a Diver soon. I see you are located in the Austin area. I frequent the Domain a lot and I would love to meet up sometime so I could check out your awesome collection and talk watches. They look great in the photos and all but Ive yet to see a ROO Chrono in person let alone in the gold tone. I hear they are heavy. Again great photos, thanks for sharing your experience. I know there is a get together thread but it seems pretty dead for the Texas area.
