Hi AP fans, Thanks to sales manager Vincent at the boutique at IFC, I got to see these 2 amazing pieces of ROs !
The openworked Ref. 16204XT.OO.1240XT.01 (caliber 7124) is made of titanium (with Bulk Metallic Glass or “BMG” accents) and is such a HEAVY hitter, yet SO SO LIGHT ! The workmanship is very fine under a loupe. The color is also interesting because it is j...

+1 to the first three responses.
Although the RO makes one of my favorite PCs, I don’t like the open worked treatment. As stated above it does appear a bit hard to read. Having said this the BMG looks like a really cool material for the case.
