I tried that one on in Le Brassus--amazing piece.

What's holding you back?

I like the complication but think the dial is too busy for me. Prefer the simple RO.

If you didn't know any better, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a Far East job that cost $150.
It's said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but, even if true, that's still bloody horrendous looking.

One man's meat is another man's poison...or....it'd be boring if we all liked the same thing(s).
No worries Paul, some of us are just a bit more discerning than others.

Never tell another TRF his watch looks like crap; it is in poor taste. It also makes you look bad as well. Just say nothing...

I love AP's where the "guts" hang out the front!

That watch is BA - IMO.

Perry sure I had it on in Vegas at the Boutique - Platinum too right?

Just feels sick on the wrist!

Get it if you can!

That's called doubling down on rudeness. it's better to be nice than it is to be right.

You really need to show some tact. It is fine to have a differing opinion but your posts are quite rude.

Whatever the opposite of "good form" is, this response is it.

Stunner! What's the price jump from this to a laptimer? Or is it more a question of availability?

I'd rock it... IF I had the $200k or so, lol. Till then, my regular 44mm ROO will have to do.

Very cool watch. I find it timeless in a modern sort of way.

I like it! If you do too, that that's what counts. And, we shouldn't worry about those that don't know better, the point is we do!

I saw it in Paris, looks awesome but they told it was a very hard piece to sell because of the huge weight, but if you can handle it I prefer it much more than laptimer….

It is certainly a looker! I would wear it if I could stand the weight.

Love the watch although I would prefer the Red gold on this particular model... Way out of my league though :-)
