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.

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...
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 ...
