Wow, you never cease to amaze us! Congratulations.

What are the two indicators at the top for? The one on the right goes through 53?
The one on be left (which I originally thought it would be a retrograde second indicator, seems to go beyond 60 and it has a red zone...), is it a PR?

"Congratulations" doesn't seem adequate.

Power reserve on the left and torque indicator on the right.

Incredible watch Roger. I particularly like the honeycomb baseplate! Gorgeous and unique

Thank you everyone. The honeycomb is very interesting for sure and I need to take some photos of the back but unfortunately it has been raining in NY since I arrived so can't get some good daylight shots outside yet.

Will be curious as to your thoughts on NTPT, as I recall initially you were not wild about the material, but think it has grown on you.

Look forward to seeing it on velcro

Good point Paul. My earlier comment was mainly that I didn't think NTPT worked well with the "busier" movements like the 11 but it works better with the simpler movements.

I can't argue with that...then again the 022 could be made of anything and it would be spectacular

Brilliant! You should mix the velcro straps and put red on one side and grey on the other.

Question - What's the function of the pusher on the left of the case? Cheers.

That is a quick advance for the second time zone disc.

OMG Roger what an epic incoming - a great new toy for your collection. Those Kevlar straps rock with NTPT, can't wait to see more pics when you get chance 🥂

Great to meet you and congratulations again! It's an incredible watch, and suits you wonderfully; a 2 meter tall man needs a watch of similar stature!

Thanks everyone. Sorry for the lack of decent shots but promise to do some over the next few days when I have a little time.

And some more including some sides shots showing that legendary wrap the wrist design that makes RM watches in my view the most comfortable watches available.

Very cool Roger, are you comfortable wearing these pieces with a suit?
