Michael Schumacher & Messi Special Edition ?
I keep hearing that AP will release two special edition models soon, Michael Schumacher & Messi Special Edition ?

Is that true ?

Hopefully not. AP has over done it with special editions in my opinion.

I'm less concerned about the SE/LE label and more interested in how it looks. I'd get it if I liked it.

Agreed. I don't care much about how many LE. If I like the look ! Then I'll try to buy it. Hopefully I got much cash left.

That's got to be a ROO.

As for the Messi, i like it, alot to be honest but i'd like to know if it has his sig or something similar on the caseback?

Had to laugh at this a little as some folk would call the RO and Hublot's exactly that.

I like the idea of using Royal Oak for special edition, however I am still not getting used with an AP RO without their tapisserie dial. Wondering how the caseback looks like, because what I expect is to have something special on the dial, at least on the '10' (apparently not).
