Im curious why so much love for the RB2? Don't get me wrong, it's sweet as hell, and I'd sell BOTH my arms for the Platinum version (blue dial/strap). Though at $100k, I will have to settle for the also sweet as hell Navy Themes.
So, for the RB2, is it the movement, Ti case, looks, limited edition, or just a combo?

Get this

TSW · 1 August 2012, 06:46 AM

It's the coolest looking ROO period in my book

I'd take the Ti over this one any day of the week

Manofsteelpt · 1 August 2012, 07:03 AM

Thomas, that'd be all mine if I had the $$$$!!!!

gameson · 1 August 2012, 07:10 AM

Personally I don't see what the fuzz is all about on the RB2, on the looks, LE, or whatnot. If I am to get an AP ROO, my list would be the AP GP or AP Survivor over RB2 anyday

HL65 · 1 August 2012, 07:10 AM

I think it speaks for itself! Coolest ROO ever made IMHO.

Manofsteelpt · 1 August 2012, 08:08 AM

I agree Ken, very sweet... Just curious.

I do prefer that Platty version though!!!

craniotes · 1 August 2012, 08:24 AM

The RB II in titanium is my grail ROO.

Period.

Why? Just look at it!!!

Regards,
Adam

The GP is alson one of my favorite ROO's that I do want in my collection, IMO the Survivor is cool but a bit too much, and it also doesn't wear that comfortable.

Thanks--Platty is cool but the weight of the Ti is unreal--hardly feel it on!!
Super comfy and super cool!

easy answer .. because of the quality and the look.

EdChoi · 1 August 2012, 10:10 AM

I have yet to see one in person, I'm going to be in New York the rest of this week, hoping I can get to see one of these in person.

boursachi · 1 August 2012, 12:17 PM

Eddie, you will be AMAZED once you see it in real life. I have only seen it once, and I believe I uploaded a pic on here before but just in case here are 2 snaps.

To answer the question, all emotions aside: the ceramic bezel is just something that has to be experienced. As a BB wearer for the past 6 weeks or so (I think), it is just ridiculously 'better' as a 'daily' watch.

Yup, the Ti case is awesome with the weight (lack thereof) but also the tone/shade works SO WELL with the white inner bezel contrasting.

The chrono dials also being white does not "overwork" the watch, I noticed that when it was on my wrist. Never thought about it from pictures.

The crown is so cool, and the chrono pushers really round up the character.

So yes, it is the "limited" and "holy grail" factor; BUT as a watch, single components make it special for sure. I am biased towards the screws' design as well as a GPC owner and they sure they hollow, exposed look.

Really awesome watch.
I do not lust after one, and do not think I will ever be in the market, and personally that adds to the lure! :)

Want to see if we can negotiate a group discount, Thomas?

That would help as I just got a new house and also need a new car before any new watch purchase

PatekCollector · 2 August 2012, 08:53 AM

One of the best that AP ever made. Actually its the BEST!.

mb23 · 2 August 2012, 08:23 PM

I would definitely have to put this in the top 3 AP's ever!

Manofsteelpt · 2 August 2012, 08:49 PM

May be a dumb question... But is Ti lighter then Carbon?

adt · 2 August 2012, 10:10 PM

That's a big chunk of metal. Was Rubens Barrichello really that cool to have such a cool watch named after him?

HL65 · 3 August 2012, 06:23 AM
