Got to try on a TI Schumacher yesterday

What a beautiful watch. It was rather large but didn't look so big on my wrist. Felt much lighter than my Daytona. Makes me want to find a RB2 in Ti. The red date wheel really sets off the dial along with the mirror polished sides of the bezel. The only part I didnt care for is that it has a buckle and the rubber strap was so wide.

Why don't they make a deployment buckle for these new 44s?

Also what is the rotor material made from? My relative that owns it thinks its platinum but wasn't sure. It looked too dark to be platinum to me.







Here it is dwarfing my Daytona.

The rotor is 22 ct gold still but has had an anthracite galvanic treatment, which is a rather long winded way of saying that it should look like gold but because they fucked about with it it's black instead.

HAHA seriously! They should have just left it gold !

I like how the rotor is on my grand prix, makes it more unique

Anyway Schumi is a great piece but way too much IMO
