New watch - MK2 LRRP!!!
Received it this week after placing the order back in June.
Worth the wait and the quality is remarkable for the money.
It came on a SS bracelet but I ordered the orange Maratac NATO and it looks great IMO.
Quick specs: Swiss made 42mm automatic, saphire crystal, 300m WR, GMT function, ratcheted rotating bezel
Unbeatable for slightly over 1k.
Rolex and APs are #1 and 2 in my collection of course. This one is a lot of fun to wear though. Just wanted to share the new purchase.
Couple of pics...

Very nice. Congrats.

Quick question - does the bezel rotate 24 clicks around, or in smaller increments?

The bezel slides yet is nice and tight. No problem adjusting it and it always stays in place where you set it.

Are you sure Bill "stopped production" or did he just close ordering while he catches up on his back-logged orders?

Bill said this would be the final batch of this LRRP model . A new version is in the works though. Looking foward it.
He closed ordering on the Vantage model temporarily but recently reopened orders for 40 more pieces.
