Icon20 Piguet Champagne!
I am going to start this thread by saying Manuela, Thomas and Ken are three of the top Audemar enablers I have ever spoken too! Last week I received an email from Manuela providing me with more info on the 57th Street and Trulli on top of that behind the scenes Thomas has been pointing me towards the 57th My horology mentor steelerfan65 comes into the picture because of the elusive golden tresure called the Barrichello With my quest for two Rolex pieces on my short and long list almost coming to fruition I must keep my eye on my journey but it sure is hard when there are too many great toys out there Enjoy the pics from another trip to the house of Audemar

RB2 Ti in a different league IMHO. I like the others of course with the Legacy standing out amongst the rest. Happy hunting my friend!

Sam i didn't know that you were looking at the RB2 as well

But with the wrist pics you posted, The 57th and the BB looks phenomenal on you. if we only could see the bada$$ RB2 on your wrist too

Having looked at the pics over and over... i must say the BB are the winner imo

Thomas I was not looking for the RB2, however, I got some messages from Ken stating that I should forget everything on my list and venture into something more elusive! I believe the last message I got from him stated something to the effects of go hard or go home!

I've found Manuela to be extremely helpful the times I've been up to the 57th street store. I think the trulli looks amazing...the legacy is fantastic as well but given the size, is a little too much on my wrist.

Hi Sam
Thanks for sharing those excellent wrist shots! Looks like we're both in the hunt for some great AP's. Manuela's been emailing me about my pieces as welll only if she knew that she's becoming quite famous here on TRF

I love the trulli and the bee. RB2 is definitely in a different league as Ken has stated but then again the price point is not even close. Good luck on your hunt and who knows, might bump into you the next time I'm going to see Manuela

Btw, forget about those AP's. What a t-shirt you got on!!! Love it.

The RB2 and Legend are tops in my mind. Unfortunately, the new Jumbo is singing loudest to me for now. That BB looks great on you Sam!
