I got an email from Aspen about the Last edition and the 38. The last edition is baby blue ceramic and states last edition on the case back.

The new 55 Americas are on IG....white and red, both NTPT.

I'll post some photos from aspen.

Not too wild about the white and agree with edo, Nadal is king of NTPT

Interesting, I thought long and hard about it before buying.

The 35 with the floating dial/movement and corner points creates a stunning (front) visual for me.

And the solid piece of NTPT behind the movement makes it just pop--especially in the sun.

For me I like the complete see through of the 55. Maybe I'm in the minority.
Thanks for all the images. I sort of like the blue ceramic 11.

With the 55 you can put different coloured stickers on your wrist every day and completely change the look of the watch! A new unique piece every day! LOL!

Agree - also not keen on looking at my hairy wrist through a clear case back!

35 ticks all the boxes for me - it's a stunner 👍

Where are the other 9 of them?

Love how the case alone takes 430 hours to mill another 350 hours of polishing of major parts--like any $2m watch . THAT is what you call a unique piece.

Roger this one makes me rethink wanting to see the back.:

Well if you have a non hairy wrist then bubba, if you have abundant black thick hairs the Nadal is much nicer, I'm not joking, imagine looking at your watch and seeing black hairs in the picture

Have you seen any of the new Bubba's pop up in Europe? My AD is getting one in a few weeks (supposedly).

That is gorgeous. Unfortunately I'd never spend $2M on it.
