Audemars Piguet

 

Whilst visiting my AD this morning, predominantly to inquire about the new 15202 (which I was hoping would be my next AP) and why it is taking so long to arrive, I was surprised by the sudden appearance of the M. Schumacher. Not the actual man himself but the new ROO bearing his name.

 

Frankly speaking, I had grown a little tired of the many versions of the ROO and when the AD said the first two have just arrived and proceeded to show them to me, I was a bit skeptical. One was in Pt. and the other in RG. I inspected and tried them both on and the RG seem to resonate more with me.

 

 I wasn’t in the market for another ROO, having had a few in the past but I was tempted, to say the least. It did look awesome in the metal! What did I do? I left the AD and went round to the corner cafe to sit quietly to have a cup of coffee……………… to calm my nerves and to ponder. However, even to my own surprise, I returned within the hour! So much for resisting!

 

 

Some pics.(pls. excuse the poor quality)

 

 

 

Thanks for looking and have a great start to the week!

There is nothing better than seeing the watches in the real and making his own opinion!

I need your sympathy. My banker or wife will probably kill me!

Note to self: never, never walk into an AD to kill time.

To kill him before he does.

And in this sense, you did well.

Best, my friend.

PIcking up mine after the race in Interlagos. When I am around your way again we will have to take a dual wrist shot of the RG Schumis!

Best,

Henry

Looking forward to it.   You are right about the RG!

That really looks awsome on you. The watch looks so much better on the wrist than in the promo photos!

is comfy and even conforms to my humble wrist. The finishing and the material is the best I've seen on a ROO yet.

Thank you.

Congrats Fernando

seeing the (beautifull) wrist pics, do you have a small wrist ?

I have (6,5), and I'm not sure if it suits a rather small wrist like mine  .... but I need to take the decision to go for the Ti or stay away from it ...

my wrist is smallish like yours, the watch does not appear out of proportion with the rest of my body. The soft rubber strap with the tang buckle will give you a snug fit and that is very important as the watch will not wear like a bracelet or hang loose. The Ti version is probably the most sort after. You should try it first if you have the chance.

Thanks & welcome!

Fernando

I personally think the RG is the most beautifull, but I have to cut my expenses   so I would go for the Ti.

we don't have a boutique in Belgium that has it, I need to go to Paris to see the watch ....  but I'm pretty short in time right now

I can order it, but delivery should be somewhere in the beginning of next year.

I don't know what I should do, but your pictures are tempting me...

any advice is welcome !!!

 

btw , sorry for my bad english writing ...

Don't worry, your English is fine.

Congratulations.

One thing is for sure, the consensus is that this piece is really spectacular in person.  Looking forward to handling one myself.

The RG watch has something very luminous. Each version has a great harmony of colours.

Congrats!

Great pick up with the RG Schumi!  I think the Cermet Bezel goes best with the RG case.  

Been out of touch for a while.  Will you be tempted by this one?

How very a pro pos, Fernando! A fast decision for a watch dedicated to a fast driver.

I enjoyed your pictures immensely.

Congrats and thanks for sharing,

All the best,

Alex
