The movement looks great. These photos give a more real feel to it. Thanks Paul for sharing.

Thank you all for the VERY kind words. It was a lot of begging and pleading, but as any good TRF'er, we came through to deliver these pics for you/us!

I'm still just amazed about the day and the honor of being one of the very first person to actually hold, inspect, have Mr. Papi actually demonstrate it to us--YES I have the video of the movement in action (will post when time allows--it's 2:30am here and I'm beat!).

I'm VERY glad most of you really appreciated being able to see it as much as I did. As to rollout time frame, it will be a 4 year roll out.

Thanks Paul

Incredible , I still prefer the sheer presence and look of the rg 44, it's perfection in my sea of ap's and watches. Don't you agree,

Ps, I'd think cer met would be better suited for this watch, if it's platinum, interesting choice

Sweet! LOVE the positive clicky sounds! It just looks and feels robust.

Thank you for bringing me as close as I am ever going to get to one of these!

Platinum, Titanium. Whatever it it, it is absolutely incredible. I have never considered an AP and will likely never be able to afford that AP but it sure is stunning.

Thanks for sharing your privileged access with us.

The video showed that the motion of two of the "levers" on the right hand side of the movement were "connected" or drawn by wires? Would there be any reliability issue with those wires after prolonged use?

Congrats, I prefer the classic ROO case design, but if you like the concept case it's a very cool watch

It's nothing compared to the amazing pics that Paul is posting which are good quality and of great pieces, but I saw these just now at AP, the 44mm ceramic was also in black dial but I preferred the anthracite one, enjoy the pics and sorry for the crappy quality

I should've rotated them before posting, sorry if they're sideways
