Michael Schumacher AP Pics

Here are the official Schumacher piece pics.

I think they copied Jocke's idea of fitting a red date wheel!

Nice pictures, thanks for posting. I like the blue rubber one. Looks like a rose gold, platinum and titanium versions? Look to similar to the RB2.

Wow, blue one is nice and interesting looking. Gray is nice looking too, but sort of AP ordinary...

Wonder if the 7 in the date window is a reference to the number of world championships he won or his 2012 car number?

The stars are clearly reference od his World Champion titles... blue ones of his 1994 1995 titles, and red ones of 5 consecutive titles from 2000-2004...

Very nice but I don't like the stars on the flange.

Other than that, I love the red font on the calendar, red hands and the red accent on crown. Amazing!!!

Thanks for sharing.

i like that i don't like it, but it is a handsome watch for sure
would have preferred to go with a Germany theme, although black/red/yellow are already reserved on the GPC so i guess that was why they didn't go there
i love the date wheel and i dig the idea of the stars

sorry but i don't see it reaching RBII/GP status

At first I didn't like the look of any AP watch, and now I own a RO and it may be what I would consider the best watch I've owned. I'm still not keen on some of their more outlandish models (like these), but maybe I'll warm up someday like I did to AP in general.

Love both the blue and grey version!
The red hands and date wheel is tempting!


Anyway, I am still thinking why AP release these after the MSC had announced the retirement?
