Saw the watch in person last night, definitely better n the flesh, however not for me… I feel it should've been a one off piece, not a 600 piece LE for the consumers/collectors.
wore my 44 rose gold and people paid tons of compliments, quite funny, since it's a production piece. I never had as many comps with any of my other pieces, its truly gorgeous. Also saw the RG schumi too, and was stunning. |

not that I could wear a 48mm piece, but if they had gone with a darker shade of grey for the dial/strap it would have made a world of difference.
and why a titanium bezel when it could have been cermet |

So to answer the earlier question, the RM011 is an annual calendar flyback chrono movement, and is a very liquid market if you buy well when it comes to resale. A decent complication in my view, and not at a massive premium to a non-complicated model like a 10. It's fair to say though that the 10 is a slightly more manageable size - the 11 is pretty deep front to back.

With that being said, novelty 44 appeals to me more! It's much more classy/elegant yet still strikingly beautiful/sporty!! It's just perfection IMO Schumi rose gold was certainly beautiful, however the grey on gold thing isn't really a combo I love... I guess I don't love two tone (steel/gold) and maybe this reminds me of that a tad, hrm |

thanks martin - yes, i didnt meant 'biased' so much as i guess my question was a little moot since you obviously have one and not the other.
i agree with you on the tt effect |

I think they limited production to 600 instead of 1000 pcs like the Schumacher because they knew internally that the watch is ugly.
It will be interesting to see whether these watches will sell below sticker once they hit the market. I do however like that grey rubber strap and the croc strap that comes with the watch. |

The bj watch on the other hand is using the same movement that every ROO chronograph uses, doesn't it? Anyhow it's only a watch. Chill out man.

It's just life, evolution. I'm not a fan of LBJ piece however it wasn't too bad in person It doesn't reflect as a whole upon the brand and it's horological roots, was just trying to point that out after a few comments I saw from you. ![]() |
