Thanks for posting - missing the tapisserie but you'd really have to see in the metal. [nt]
No message body
So what do you think of the final version of the RD2 perpetual calendar
Interesting the change of the dial going without the signature Tapisserie pattern ...
Thanks!
Serious executive decision making on the dial for what is likely going to be a better watch in the metal.
Total nonsense marketing
It makes no difference to legibility. The tapisserie is only on negative space. More likely they ran into clearance tolerance issues in the total stack height in production and use this as the excuse. Rapwatch
Not bad...will be excited to see this one. BUT...
...would prefer to see the leap year indicator move in a clock-wise direction. Which leads me to wonder, does the day/night indicator move clock-wise? If not, it’s a bit of a blunder.
Agree. Understand about legibility but It's like they're not exerting effort to build the watch.
Just like the plain dial of the CODE series.
An obvious cop out
The original quantime perpetual calendar had no issues applying tapisserire dial with so called legibility issues
Check out @horoloupe on IG I believe it could be the first delivery of the RD2
He posted a video check it out
If you're going to mirror polish it....
why not just make the bezel tungsten carbide so that it isn't a scratch magnet? -Dean
If they ever make this in carbon fiber...
...would that help the scratch issue? Am sure it will add cost.
An answer to a question nobody was asking...
The idea behind this watch was great, making it the THINNEST perpetual on the market today, but why? Why did it have to be the thinnest? Why did they need to stretch the case to 41mm? Why couldn't they have just slimmed the case down to the size of the 15...
I have to say...
...I prefer the waffle dial more so. It has more glimmer and beautiful to stare at than a flat dial.
