Wonderful report Oliver

What great coverage of the event.  I also agree with your sentiments about the piece.  I was expecting to see some Forged Carbon elements on the watch since it is an innovation of AP.  It does look like a Ti version of the GP LEs.   


I wish that it had different style pushers instead of just making them look like the GP.  A 2nd leather race themed strap option would have also been great instead of just having the rubber strap.  And of course having some Forged Carbon goodness doesn't hurt.  

The RG looks great with the contrasting Gold Case and Cermet bezel, but I would also pick the Ti version as the one to get.

Royal Oak Offshore Michael Schumacher - The event and the watches ...

Michael Schumacher was announced as an official ambassador for Audemars Piguet , about two years ago. Of course everybody expected a Michael Schumacher watch from the beginning, but it took quite some time to do the project. Yesterday it was officially pr...  

I share your opinion on the titanium, and...

And this MS in general... Honestly, I preferred the Montoya in titanium. Which included a nice series of racing details, yet. But I guess that it will find its fans. Best, and thanks for the very nice report, my friend. Nicolas.

Thanks a lot for the report Oliver!

Great pictures, especially in these poor light conditions. it is funny, I had a lunch with somebody from AP today who attended the event. So he described me the atmosphere and the event. Now, I have your report, it is perfect for me, even I missed the eve... 

Fantastic post, thank you

My personal favourite is also the titanium and my AD has given me first option on the one that they get.

Its a grand prix with rubber strap and cermet bezel

... Not bad, even though i would have like something more interesting in the dial. Titanium for me too. Goes with the concept of this type of watch. Nicer in the metal or photos are close to reality?

Thanks for sharing the event with us Oliver.

Interesting venue to say the least! It's a bit ironic that his former team mate Barichello beat him to the punch with his version a few years ago which IMO created a bigger impact and drew in more fans. I agree with you that AP & MS could have gone a ...

What an incredible launch event. I really appreciate your tremendous coverage of the event and of course the new watches. I certainly agree with many of your sentiments. From your photos, the titanium model does look most appealing to me. I'll look forwar... 

Love the watch, especially the platinum version....

I wish however, that AP would make this somewhat unique... the watch resembles the Grand Prix collection too closely for me.... Atleast the straps should have been tinkered with... Maybe resemble the treads on the intermediate tyres of an F1 car????

Wonderful report Oliver

Great photo report of the AP ROO MS event. Of the 3 versions, I like the platinum version with the blue colored accents and strap. Regards, ED-209
