Unforgettable Experience @ Marcus Of London

Paid a visit to Marcus of London to pick up my YG Blue ROC and the experience was SUPERB ! With unprecedented access to some fantastic pieces.

Can't say enough Ken. Great staff, especially Ash. Ask for her if you decide on inquiring. They are losing their AD in a week as AP is opening a London boutique and the pound is in the dumps good reason to pull the trigger.

Another Amazing fact. Marcus of The Marcus of London store was or maybe still is the biggest collector of APs. The RB2 RG is from his personal collection. The grand comp ROO was built for his store 1 of 3 pieces. This one is his. The contract he had with AP was so slanted in his stores favor that when AP announced an LE his store would receive the bulk of them eg the store got 15 Schumi Ti & 10 RG.

Yeah that would be my first pick, my favorite complication is the MR after all, and most certainly something I will never ever have

Wow get ready for something huge from Roger guys, anyways 99% of his incomings are just from another dimension: JLC Tryptique, 4 Grand comps from PP, Grubel Forsey, and on and on, but what will kill them all is the made to order piece, now that will be huge, and I am very happy that my getting a Voutilainen has inspired him, It will probably be THE coolest watch ever on TRF

No the Rubens is not the Grande comp with MR, etc, I think the one you are talking about had retail of about 800k to 1 million, read about it somewhere but not sure how much it was...

Really sucks that such a shop which has such amazing pieces is loosing their AD license because AP is opening boutique, I mean AP does special editions for that shop, so clearly not small players, how many shops did AP make special editions for? Guessing not many...

Roger was going down last year when AP were shutting their section down, but they also stock GF now so Roger should really try to get down this time or just phone it in.

... this one for example, but next to a tryptique not sure you can find a cooler tourbillon, even if there are 4 of them, but I predict that Roger will have 2 amazing incomings from now to Xmas, have hunch we will see 2 epic watches come in, along with other epic watches, just not Roger level epic
