Given similar deign aesthetics, but very different color schemes and materials, which one would you get?

Soly20 · 4 August 2013, 03:32 AM

Schumi. The GP is beautiful but Schumi Ti has a fresher look. Plus I am not the biggest fan of the FC bezel.

kilyung · 4 August 2013, 03:39 AM

FC as a case material is great but I'm not a FC bezel fan.

Is this based on any real info? I'd love to swap out the FC bezel on the GP for ceramic and think that would be the ultimate watch. The bezel just gets banged up way too much and the edges get dulled VERY quickly. I asked the boutique if it was possible to order the Schumi bezel and put it on, but they said no :(

Instant watch boner. When!? The RG GP with ceramic would be a better version of a classic!

You will see some pics of it in 7 weeks or so

This is very interesting. Would've definitely thought it would've been close.....looks like a whitewash

Hkexpat183 · 7 August 2013, 09:11 PM

Ti Schumi hands down. I don't like the rainbow color of the GP dial. If you are interested in the FC GP, drop me a PM. I know a grey dealer in HK that has one that is desperate to sell.

Epwerkz · 8 August 2013, 02:47 AM

The GP is awesome watch..eventhough the resale value is declining.. as for schumi, well newer fresher model..

Actually going up…

Anyway Grand Prix over anything for me (within reason) of course… RBII I even sold after GP

Schumi is sexy but not at those prices IMO

You sold an RBII over a GPC, now I know you are mental!

Have to agree with this one unless you got $45k plus on the RB2 and made some cash on it I would never trade RB2 for a GP.

YOU GUYS JUST ARE HYPE MEN

Seriously, I buy what I love. Nothing moves me like my Grand Prix, sorry, point blank… And my AP collection is pretty large right now, oh well.

Glad we all have different options, to please each others different tastes

TSW · 8 August 2013, 04:07 AM

Going with GP on this one

eric23 · 8 August 2013, 07:28 AM

I think I would go with the GP but both are really nice!

s14roller · 8 August 2013, 07:42 AM

Hard one, both awesome for diff reasons. I will say the GP's dial is stunning in person. One is very raw, one is more elegant.

mspeed76 · 8 August 2013, 07:48 AM

it also has to be mentioned the significant price differential.. about 10k

GP is more sporty/cool, more contrast on the dial, and lighter

the FC bezel isnt great but can be replaced for $533

MSti toned down design and colors but amazing bezel and i agree more elegant

conclusion: get both! lol

FeelingTheBlues · 8 August 2013, 08:15 AM

Schumi has my vote, I like the Grand Prix but I prefer the sober look of the titanium chronograph.

h999r · 8 August 2013, 08:22 AM

Love the GP

AshAP · 8 August 2013, 08:40 AM

I had first refusal on ti MS. When I tried it on all I saw was grey that made my skin look some deathly shade, all in all not good for me. Probably look awesome with a tan though.....for two weeks of the year.

QueueCumber · 8 August 2013, 10:48 PM

The GP is too asymmetrically busy with the color scheme for my OCD. I also love the color of the Ti and was amazed at how great it looks at my wrist. I went into the boutique to buy a RG Schumi and was so impressed with the Ti that I ended up buying both!

shahaaditya92 · 8 August 2013, 10:53 PM

Was thinking, to sober down the GP (if that's even possible) to put it on the Black Alcantra strap of the RG GP. It won't make a drastic difference yes, but I think at time the small things could really change your perception of the look.

Also the Msc is gorgeous, but maybe a bit too grey? Maybe need to take another look at Marcus.....

Also is the Ti especially prone to scratches?

Uh, no. Especially vs SS. Very tough and light.

I don't think to Schumi Ti is too grey. Pictures tend to look flat but the piece is very alive and dynamic in person. I fell in love with it!

That's funny. I livened up (or I suppose intoxicated would be the proper antonym) my RG GP with the red-lined FC GP strap!
