Got my watchtime last night

Good Day All,

I got my copy of WatchTime last night.

That Jumbo has such a nice movement in it. I kind of want one
now

If you like AP you should pick up a copy they take a part the Jumbo, it's real cool

I hope to try one on next week when I am in Toronto.


Take care,

Eric

There is a WatchTime iPad app that allows you to purchase digital issues. I don't think the Jumbo review is online yet.

The 2012 Jumbo is stunning, I only wish they would have kept the old rotor blade.

Well-written review.

My only concern was the poorly rated accuracy of the watch. Not what I would expect from a $22.5K SS watch.

Gorgeous!
And yes, I still have no idea why AP would change the old style rotor.

Don't think there is a problem for the accuracy. It doesn't even has the seconds hand.

If that bothers you, I'm thinking about getting the RG version!
