The black dial and silver dial ones aren't bad. Can't say I'm crazy about the bronze case and bracelet and the color coded dial doesn't do it for me.

(Drools all over the keyboard)
The RG Rubberclad is my favourite. Classy while being sporty. My dream AP, but too expensive for me. The RB I is rather mediocre and uninspired, looks like they drew that one up in a minute or so. Otherwise, I'm not a big fan of the SS Rubberclads, I prefer the Themes with stell bezel, even though it scratches easier, the Rubebrclads somehow look "cheap" to me, but I would gladly take one if the price was right. The RG Rubberclad defies all rules of being cheap. |

Thomas,
I see your selling the Easy Diver. You should consider putting your name in on a new AP Scuba or better yet the new LE AP Alinghi ROO. $5K holds a spot and your in line for a peice that will sell easily for 150% over retail after you've enjoyed it for awhile. The RG Rubberclad is a very heavy peice and is a must see. Pictures do not do it justice. |

Now, I've seen a RG ROO that had a dark honey croc gator strap on it, and that was impressive, not sure of the details, but it's the only AP i've seen that I liked. Apart from the T3 of course, and that one just because of the ridiculous size!

Sorry guys, but the only AP I like is the Royal Oak in steel/gold with the blue dial and TT bracelet.

Gotta agree. AP is one of the brands that I want to like and should like... but just can't because of their designs. But I respect them as a manufacture house.

![]() I still have my spot in the list for a Barrichello II at a Hong Kong AD, and my turn should come (3rd in line) in February 2007 or so. The question is, to pull the trigger, or not? This particular AD was very friendly (I left US$10,000 refundable with them), and offered to put me on the list, despite the fact I'm a new customer. I'll give them a ring tonight to see if they will get me on the list for the new Alinghi ROO, Scuba AFAIK is only at the boutique. |

Interestingly enough, I don't fancy the RG Barrichello, I prefer the JPM a lot more. The Ti Barrichello is the home run of this line.
Oh, and the new Alinghi ROO, are you referring to the Polaris? I had the chance to buy one in stock from the same AD with a 10% discount. (I could have bought it and sold it for $2,000 instant profit) |

I'm keeping the $10K deposit, as I want to see how the market for the Barrichello will do after it comes out in November. If it does well, I plan on eliminating something in my collection (the JLC will go), acquire the Barrichello, wear it for a while, and sell it off for a profit or at least my initial investment. |

So why the hell did you have to resurrect this 3-year old thread?
