This one is something else!

Outstanding reporting buddy Hal! But what else can be expected from you :)

exiger77 · 19 January 2016, 09:25 AM

Thanks.

Very nice report.

Watcheroo · 19 January 2016, 04:43 PM

Easily my favorite release this year. The diver chronos are pretty darn nice as well!

FlyinM3 · 20 January 2016, 12:04 AM

Agree this is my favorite release for this year.
I'm starting to get the itch, but just not sure how the 41mm would look on my wrist. Need to pay a visit to the boutique soon to see how the dial size and lugs drop on my wrist.

Me too especially the RG one, though the 76K price tag is a little high IMO, but can't say I like the divers much, especially at 29K, they overestimated the appeal of the diver to put at these prices...

Beautiful watch!!
Thanks for the great report

GB-man · 20 January 2016, 02:37 AM

Love it. Great stuff Hal

Beautiful watch BUT I dont like the fact that the balance wheel at 8 stands out. A skeleton watch this beautiful would stand out and doesnt need it. I prefer the skeletonized parts all one color like the 15305 (HAL, THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE AMAZING REPORT AS ALWAYS)

It's a thing of beauty

Amazing piece of watchmaking, and looks fantastic.

However, it seems that no-one is commenting that the 30% increase in accuracy has come at a significant cost of 25% power reserve (60 hours down to 45 hours).

Good point... I also not sure how they measure a 30% increase in accuracy.

I actually agree. Just from published pics and youtube video, it appears that adding a golden bridge across the balance wheel kind of draws all the attention to that part of the watch and distract from the overall presentation of the overworks. However, I reserve final judgement until I can see the actual watch.

Amazing thanks for sharing this

I have always wanted an openworked RO but found the 39mm a bit outdated, still a beauty though. Now that the 41mm is out; I placed an order for the steel version. Should be available in a few months. Can't wait!

JPizzzle · 31 January 2016, 09:42 AM

Beautiful. Congrats in advance to those who score it.

Your's is way cooler Ben even though this one pops, now the day you will put it on a RG bracelet you will be my AP hero as you will be the guy who I know with the coolest AP collection

At 70% it's seeing pics of your CE diver which enabled me into getting mine, really…

WAIT a minute, am I reading right??? "case 5.51 mm in thickness"?????? 5.51???? How is that even possible? that's much less than the jumbo or a 5711

Do the two balance wheels rotate in opposite directions (in which case I suppose come kind of clutch or differential may be needed) or in the same direction in unison. If it is the latter, is the benefit primarily the extra rotational mass creating greater accuracy?
