Great watch and great setup on the GTR...my ex GTR was a Switzer P800.

Rode in an Alpha 12 recently and it was not too shabby...

how fast is AMS Alpha 10, I know Alpha 12 beat UR Gallardos.

Thank you so much for that reply. I absolutely LOVE it when I hear or read about how AP inspires some owners as much as they do myself.

Very true on the sports car design and application. It really does feel like it on those Racing Inspired APs - which is NOT the same of what I could say regarding many brands which aim to make or market their watches to the same measure.
I totally forgot about the LE to 500. That is indeed a huge selling factor. I for one have thought the same recently and hope I can share soon.
I very much agree as well on the Ceramet and Carbon combination offering a rather different appeal than the black ceramic.

I for one have experienced the beauty and practicality and aesthetically pleasing ownership of a FC/Ceramic (in the BB); however I would love to see more of the Ceramet bezel be used on "graded" metals, such as Ti which it has in the LE Schumi, but yet to see in a normal production SS - I think.

By the way, the ceramet is supposedly as robust - if not more - than the black ceramic; correct?
There is no compromise there whatsoever?

It's supposed to be not as brittle as ceramic but slightly less scratch resistant. It's always a give-take equation.

I'm giving my Jarno some love today. Trulli!

That sounded sort of funky....
