I have to stop reading these AP posts!
There's just too much to love, and my pocketbook can't keep up!
Some initial thoughts:
- 42mm ROO is much more desirable to me than the 37mm. The dial of the 37mm seems a bit too squished. All the subdials are packed in there a little too tightly for my taste.
- I like the blue Grand Prix best of all the variations pictured. Red would be my second choice.
- I love the steel skeleton! I think it's my favorite of the new APs, along with the diver.
- I am surprised I like the 57th street men's edition as much as I do. The color contrast on the dial is very attractive!
Thanks for all the live shots, Jon!
Cheers,
Daos

PuristSPro's 2010 SIHH Live Reporting by Z3 Audemars Piguet 2010 Novelties Ok, you've been waiting for the press, and now you have seen the press and the specs, and here are the live ones! There are a lot of things going on this year, so I will keep the d...
Thanks z3 for the live AP pics
My two favorites are the stainless RO skeleton and EOT. Do you know if the skeleton is an LE or regular production model? Thanks again for such great work posting the live pics. Regards, ED-209 This message has been edited by ED209 on 2010-01-20 19:27:59
"regular production"...
Hi, Ed, it will be "regular production" as noted below, but like all skeletonized models, production will be very low. Put another way, if you see one immediately available, and you really like it, snap it up. You never know when it will be "immediately a...
RE: Regular production AP RO skeleton
Hi TM, Thanks for the words of wisdom. What to do? 15305 or 25820? Or 26603? hmmmm, decisions, decisions, decisions..... Regards, ED-209
Thanks for the AP pics Jonathan!
I'm curious to see how this smaller 37mm Offshore fits on the wrist. I actually might like this one better since the regular Offshore is on the borderline of being too large for my wrist because of the unbendable strap endlinks. The Offshore Grand Prix lo...
RO Skeleton for me!
Love it. Is it 39 mm or 42MM? Some more specs, production etc would be appreciated. Thanks for your outstanding reporting. C
It should be...
the same size as the standard non skeletonized 15300, which means about 40mm. Notice the case is a production case, not a prototype case. Obviously, this can change when it goes into full production. Production, like all skeletonized pieces, will be very ...
Production Vs Prototype?
Could you please explain this clearer TM. Sorry for my ignorance but could the case size/design change in production? C
Thanks TM
Also, are there some black pvd treated components on the inside? It looks either dark gray or black and was curious...? Thanks for your expertise.
best post until now....
... my next target is the Grand prix. Your pics helped a lot to have a better idea. My favourite is the Rg. If you have a pics of the left side of the watch, that would be very helpfull. Wonder how the thickness and the transitions from carbon to ceramic ...

Thanks!!!
I love the Rose Gold skeleton. I am just wondering if the movement is coated with pvd because it is a little black in the pictures. I just hope not too much people love the skeleton, it will be loooong wait! Francis
Nice watches. Thanks.
My favorites by far are the Royal Oak Equation of time and the Skeleton, very cool timepieces. Thanks for posting. Vte
AP Skeleton RO
Would someone care to comment on the finishing on the inside of the skeleton? It looks kinda dark gray/black? Black components? I like and am sure it looks way more beautiful in the flesh. Thanks for all the pics! Cory
The Skeleton is AWESOME.
It's not easy to read the time but, once again, who cares? Not me. 100% gorgeous. I'll post some pics tomorrow, just landed and very tired now. Vte
Nice photos
Thanks for the excelent photos. There are some very nice classical watches altough i dont understand the need for such a small ROO when there is the RO. But the grand prix, the ROO tourbillon the carbon millenary and also the survivor they remind me of th...
well done, Z3! Thanks!
I know how hard good pictures can be to get under those circumstances (my kudos to all who do such great work under stressing and less than ideal circumstances!) Cheers, TM
Great report Z3...
love the blue dialed ROO but price wise I really like the AP Diver....this and the JLC Navy Seals Diver are my 2 favourites of the show and look forward to seeing them both in the flesh. Great pics and thank you for your time in putting this together. You...
Thanks Z3,
For the report, the black millenary looks very nice, and the new skeleton is a beauty too. Best, Michel
Quick questions about RO Calendar and Skeleton
Is the movement in the RO Calendar the same base movement that was in the old 36mm RO Day/Date (sometimes also with moonphase)? Also does it have a quickset feature or does one still have to go backwards and forwards as on the old model to advance the day...
cal 2324/2810
Hi, Dino, The base movement is the same, just in a larger case. The basic movement is the same in the 15300 and 15305, just skeletonized, cal. 3120. I'm waiting for a clarification on the "finish" on the skeletonized movement. Cheers, TM
Thanks Thomas...
I suspected the movement in the RO Calander was from the old RO Day/Date & Moonphase, but I wasn't sure. Also thanks for clarifying that the movement in the new Skeleton RO is based on the 3210. Thanks you so much for the info on the movement in the new R...
Welcome; come by and visit more often!
And I've got some follow ups for the auto forum; just been swamped...
LOVE the 37mm ROOs!!!
I think they're super cool. I'll have to go see and try them on!! BUT for me, the Grand Prix are still the most amazing pieces!! Thanks for this report! S
