Wow, HUGE congratulations Roger.
And, thank you ever so much for the kind words! You have been more than tremendous and a pleasure to deal with.

I love the GP in all three variants, and think it is currently overlooked. Perhaps it will take one or two more LEs (after the Schumacher) for the community to settle in and come to a consensus.
I know this is how it was for me regarding the Jarno Trulli for one example!

Please keep the wristshots coming!

Yes, I shouldn't have my view tainted by one bad experience! One thing is for sure though, I just can't carry a 42mm ROO any more. Gentleman Driver next to depart.

Thanks for this, I may go and check it out, but I have bought the Platinum Novelty recently, and I am inclined to see how the Schumacher residuals hold up before taking the plunge. As aforementioned, would love to check out a GP Platinum but can't find one, and can't find a RBII in Platinum either.

Very nice. On another forum someone got AP to change the datewheel to black & it really suited this piece.

Congratulations again.

Interesting, but knowing the HK AP Service Centre prices, that wouldn't be a cheap option, and they will probably say no anyway!

I've seen it done on a Bee and GP. As I understand it, if you do it during service it's just the cost of the wheel so not bad.

Thanks. But will presumably take 5 months then. I don't normally keep my watches for 5 months!

Can they get rid of that splash of yellow? It's the only thing I don't like.
