Incongruous
I'll wait to see the final version, of course, but as others have pointed out, the case seems incongruous with the dial and hands.
The case=modern, almost architectural
The dial & hands=more classic and staid
I'll avoid saying too much about the date between 4 and 5 o'clock, other than that I hate it 
Cheers,

Interesting...
Seeing in the flesh is everything however it seems big and bulky, almost hybrid like between Sports and Dress ala Skydweller if you will. Nothing I see to make me reach into my wallet which is disappointing
then i m really sorry but i was misunderstood , i mean chaps at AP
try to find a new model what even can get close to the popularity of RO but it seems impossible.
not even a teardrop :-) TBH I think
the whole industry is suffering to find their new icons w/o serious success .
Keep the reveals coming.
Skeletonised lugs are sweet! Sweep seconds hand. Check! Arabic numerals. Check! Size. Hmmmm, not sure. Date aperture at 4:30. Hmmm, not sure. I'm eager to see more. M4
I think the case looks potentially very interesting. I'm a fan of scalloped or skeletonised lugs.
You can't knock them for trying to produce something new. It may be an instant hit, it may be a sleeper with a slow build or it could tank but everyone will have to agree them doing this makes it interesting for us. I do wonder whether or not they should ...
The case and dial/hands hands just looks a bit mismatched.
I guess there is a way you could blend classic with the more modern hollow design but from this first glimpse i just dosnt look rigth.
I can't wait to see this case. It looks great to me.
I LOVE the structural aspect of the construction.
MichaelC, if you love the structural aspect of that case
Come all the way to the dark side and get a De Bethune DB28 😀 Takes that design theme to an extreme and will look great in your watch box next to your Freak. Hope you’re having a great start to 2019! NickO
Case looks very interesting
but the dial is giving me JLC Polaris and VC FiftySix vibes - I hope it doesn't veer into 'generic sport watch' territory (not that I have anything against either of those watches).
Can't wait!
This is clearly going to be a very polarizing release from AP and I feel like we have been misled from the few drawings and leaks that we've seen. So far I've seen a perpetual calendar version, a chronograph version, and now what looks like a time and dat...
