Awesome!

conkers · 6 March 2017, 04:46 PM

RB2 feels a bit small next to it!

yoast · 6 March 2017, 04:56 PM

Congrats!

bayerische · 6 March 2017, 05:52 PM

Wow!

justdate · 6 March 2017, 07:22 PM

WOW what a beast!

lapince · 6 March 2017, 07:47 PM

Congrats Roger, yes the RB2 looks small in comparison

gummy · 6 March 2017, 08:02 PM

Congrats!

Speechless...and I can imagine the wrist presence is unmatched.

Cool piece

conkers · 6 March 2017, 08:06 PM

Thanks everyone! May try it on an electric blue rubber strap to match the dial centre. The original strap is alcantara based and is super comfy but a little bland.

OmegaJJH · 6 March 2017, 08:46 PM

Wonderful Roger!

I think it looks fantastic on that strap though.

1William · 6 March 2017, 09:44 PM

Very nice.

I like the GP strap. The watch face itself is loud so not bad to have a muted but very comfortable strap. This is my favorite platinum AP. Well... next to the 15202 openwork platinum. Do you have that one too? lol

edo · 6 March 2017, 11:16 PM

They really made attention for every detail on the GP series (and every other F1/auto based AP)...

And this is a rarely seen platinum version... I think blue will suit better than the white strap...

benlee · 6 March 2017, 11:28 PM

Congrats Roger. Looks great indeed but honestly speaking, I am not that hot for the FC bezel. Still prefer the Schumi Pt ROO by a mile. Of all the AP watches, that one looks most impressive on you.

So when you are buying that back? I will never be able to put up wearing a Pt ROO but I can take nice pics of it.

masterserg · 6 March 2017, 11:38 PM

Wowza! That is insane! I am already picturing it with the ceramic bezel! Congrats! Hope you keep it :)

csi-n · 6 March 2017, 11:58 PM

Congrats! It looks like an incredible piece, enjoy.

conkers · 7 March 2017, 12:17 AM

Thanks everyone. I actually think it works really well with the Carbon bezel and looks much better in the flesh than in pictures. No need to change to ceramic until the Carbon starts to show signs of wear. 75 pieces only so a rare bird. Strap options being evaluated further at the SIHH viewing tomorrow. Lots of positive comments on the white. Will have a better sense of future incomings at the viewing (already bought my top pick the novelty 44mm ceramic but haven't seen the others apart from the titanium 44mm. Sadly they won't have the fully platinum 42mm Offshore.

Cant find a Platinum Schumacher to buy back sadly Ben. If you hear of one.......

WAK4 · 7 March 2017, 12:38 AM

Wow, nice! Don't think I've ever seen pics other than the AP marketing ones. Big congrats!

brettpaul · 7 March 2017, 01:01 AM

Amazing watch Roger - think the electric blue strap will look great too (I'm a blue guy at heart)!!

texex91 · 7 March 2017, 01:02 AM

Fantastic duo there Roger!

Congrats!

singe89 · 7 March 2017, 01:56 AM

two amazing APs!!!!

sea-dweller · 7 March 2017, 02:53 AM

Looks great!

Lordofrolex · 7 March 2017, 03:05 AM

Cru Jones · 7 March 2017, 03:10 AM

boom!!

yes, electric blue would POP! but, that white lets the dial and watch head shine. tough call.

gunrnnr · 7 March 2017, 03:15 AM

Roger that is KILLER!!! I agree with you, love the FC bezel contrast on the GP! Wear it in the best of health my friend!!!

Manofsteelpt · 7 March 2017, 05:34 AM

Awesome pick up, Roger! How's that one compared to your old Pt Shumi?

Hairdude1 · 7 March 2017, 08:54 AM

Awesome Roger

Thanks everyone.

I actually prefer the look of this to the Schumacher Platinum although certain elements of the latter are fantastic like the cermet bezel. The blue of the pt Schumacher I find a little bland I have to say and the watch overall in my view needs a bit more colour to detract from the grey/blue-grey overload. having said that I would probably buy it back if I found one.

conkers · 7 March 2017, 10:20 AM

One strap option:

jschmidtdmd · 7 March 2017, 01:37 PM

I have never seen the FC bezel in person....I have to, because there is no way these photos are right!

It doesn't photograph well and when the Carbon bezels get worn they look awful! The edges get rubbed off. This one is as new fortunately! But when it does show signs of wear the ceramic replacement is always an option.
