nice watch though
Screw heads have defined alignment seat on top and are tightened from the bottom. .. That is a big part of the beauty of the design

In reality, (vs the photo rendering) the bottoms screw heads will Not line up.

Just like your watch will not perpetually read 10 past 10

ok , but they cant all line up with the exact amount of torque and be so perfect ,,, well , not in my world. i think they are actually what we used to call , book screws , now known as sexbolts, actually they really are called sexbolts.

ah ,,, thats the answer i was after ,,, thank god for that ,,,, i know that car makers do lots of funny things on car photo shoots , paint wheel arches black , fill the car with sandbags etc ,,, but no problems at all if they do really put them together properly in real life ,, its a bit like the older iwc ingineur dial that just had holes anywhere they were when the proper torque was applied.

Was chatting with AD yesterday and he eluded to the fact that the 42mm line up will feature some ceramic bez models, possibly replacing the RC versions. Also think there is a new Schumi coming too but not a ROO - should be interesting

New Schumi? That would be a blockbuster! Especially that Michael is in this very unfortunate state. However, I do think that AP should hold off any Schumi release until he gets better.
