Good question. It is the 2912 and 2933 (RG and PT respectively) which I believe is a manufacture movement. But I think manufacture for AP means Le Brassus or APRP so I am not sure I know!

Either one is a winner!

In your collection I will choose the RG to add diversity on all platinum APs you have... Otherwise I would always choose the Pt.

I don't think AP has the same problems with the carbon bezel as they use to. Honestly though for this price, I'm going AP concepts. Laptimer, carbon, sonnerier (probably spelled that wrong).

Don't you have enough platinum watches by now? lol

Having seen many of your pieces throughout your posts i wouldn't have thought you would pick this piece.
I saw the PT in real, and it is amazing, much nicer than on pics, didn't likenthebqtI, the colors were strange, but didn't see RG, but PT is awesome...

No just logical deduction. You said one of these two, and then said that ceramic bezel was a must, so in all logic it's the PT

Looks great, so I'll say RG with that new vertical brush ceramic bezel.

I much prefer the RG, but I'd have a black rubber strap on it. Given the option, I also would probably change the bezel to ceramic, although I'd need to see the current FC one in real life first, as it does look quite interesting in the pic.

my guess is that is the incoming right there... he did check to see if the FC would be able to switch with ceramic.

Oh yeah, I missed that part, so my PT guess according to the ce bezel goes out the drain... I kinda like the RG case, but prefer the PT movement and dial a little, but both are amazing...

Then why play around, 26571BC is calling your name. Or RG version.

Just a stop gap until the 1/1 shows.

Come on Roger...
