4 ROO Tourbillons. Which is your favourite?
Which one do you like? Sadly I didn't have my platinum one with me only the RG.

Must say I've never seen one in the wild but from the pics I'd say RG followed closely by Ti.

All really nice and surprised now much I like the white

White all day. You have enough of the rest.

Will be perfect for Thailand weekend getaways.

OR...maybe time to branch out from AP...

On this occasion, three of them belong to the store! Not tempted by any of them really, happy with my choice of tweaked 26288 and 26388.

None… but then you’ll know that already.
Paul’s correct, you could be exploring more than just what AP has to offer.

The white ti one is interesting - it is seriously light but for some reason these days I prefer my APs heavy.

Not necessarily the double Tourbillon models for the RD, although they can be had for less than your Concept AP Tourbillons.

Just a thought, that’s all.

Good suggestions but I can't take the resale pain of independents/more specialist brands after some gruesome experiences! Greubel Forsey is my only current folly in that category.

The one on the right, I saw the one on the left in real, TI right? And compared to the PT and RG I don't like it, color of numerals especially. So one on the right for me. Will you surprise us again and get all 4 my friend?

Same for me, KV will surely be my one and only folly in this regard, but there are many which are amazing, just can't take the huge resale bath, one is enough, but not a single more...
