So makes sense

Hi!
Do you know if there’s a possibility that they going to release 222 in steel with dark grey color this year or next year?

One year for the blue dial seems correct to me.

Are they planning to release anthracite grey someday, instead of blue dial?
If so, could it be possible they release it in one year or so?
Really liked the ss release, but not totally convinced for blue dial

A short video by Adrian. The bracelet is really sweet and the edge of each link is chamfered. Side profile is very thin and the golden cross is a nice touch. Doubt I will ever get an allocation but I hope...

@raclaims, not surprised given your relationship with VC. Show us some side-by-side pic with the gold and steel!

Adrian Barker is such a shill. “Perfect” watch? What the hell does that mean? “They got it right”? How?

I don’t even think he saw one in the flesh, did he?

I think he should just drop the channel and sell his straps full time. I don’t get what his channel seeks to accomplish.

His start stop cadence is also really annoying. His bromance with the Bamford and Time & Tide guys even more annoying.

The guy literally says 0:13 in that he got "hands on" with the watch. Did you even watch the video before commenting? He's perfectly fine, and his videos with the Bamford/TT guys are some watch loving friends hanging out talking watches.

You certainly don't have to enjoy the content, but calling him a shill without anything to back it up just sounds dumb.

I have no spend history with a VC dealer so I will never get one at MSRP but if I had the opportunity Id get the SS one.

I really wish the made a ND version and I wish AP made a ND RO

Really unhappy about this. They don't have to go the route of Ro50 and segregate vip and regular clients this way.

Yes I'm jealous af got told I won't get one this year and I'm sad I won't get the 270 logo on. Does it make the watch less special without the logo? Of course it does, can't fool ourselves can we
