Out with the old, in with the new......

So, a few changes to the AP collection:

- The 57th Street has gone to a new home, a lovely gentleman who was a pleasure to deal with.
- The Novelty Rose Gold has gone to a different home, again a very nice chap who was also a pleasure to deal with.
- The Legacy has made its way to yet another abode, the beast will be missed!

I have some interesting bits on order, if AP ever decide to confirm, but in the meantime, I treated myself to this:

I love the RGGP. I tried on a normal GP a couple of months ago but it was just too light for me...

Agree completely, the normal is a lovely watch but I need more "heft".

Tried to find a platinum GP but very difficult to source in Asia.

Beautiful! It also looks great with the black alcantara strap with the red lining. It makes it a bit sportier (if possible), and helps pick up some of the red on the watch's face. Of course, you could put that watch on a dirty rope or some moldy twine and it'd still be a showstopper.

Roger, Congrats! that is a beauty! enjoy. btw I saw a platinum Schumi in the AP store @ Elements few weeks back. not sure if you are interested or not. chatted with the store manager for a bit, and it seems the price is negotiable.
