My favorite Audemars Piguet ROO Line... Schumacher

For a few weeks I've been helping my brother-in-law purchase a titanium Schumi and we finally received it last week. This past weekend I had the chance to actually see this piece in person and WOW. I've always been a fan of the photos I've seen online and in the different forums, but seeing it in the flesh was just amazing. Hands down the Schumi line is my favorite ROO ever. The details on this thing are just perfect... the hex screws, oversized chrono pushers, red date, razor hands, engravings on the plots, etc... just love everything about this watch, except the hefty price tag. My favorite one is the rose gold version followed by the titanium one. So sad this beauty is not mine!!!

Here are some photos I took while I enjoyed the piece for a few minutes.

I agree the Schumi is in a class of its own, pics don't do this piece justice.

I echo the comments. My favorite AP by a mile but unfortunately way out of reach for me. Congrats to your brother-in-law!
