Congratulations, Michael
The RBII is one of the great Offshores, perhaps King of the Hill since the End of Days.
When you regain speech, I hope you will share some of your thoughts on this great Offshore. I would love to see and read more about it. Until then, enjoy the heck out of that watch.
Best,
respo
OK, I get it.
It sure took a while, but I finally understand why so many people hail the Rubens Barrichello Offshore as one of the AP greats. I always liked it in photos, but never was tempted to jump on it. In fairness, I first saw a titanium RB2 in January (I know, s...
You are on a roll, my friend!
I am more a Montoya ( ROO ) guy, but I am very happy for you. I am very surprised that you found a NOS one! Divine surprise. Bravo! Nicolas.
The JPM will always be the first
I feel we have given that watch its due credit here. It was the one that really pushed the Offshore design to new heights, and we still sees its cues used on other pieces.
Thanks Noah.
Seeing it in the Museum case alongside the Survivor, GP, and T3 really clinched it for me.
Thanks Timlua...
I have a feeling if I were exposed to the piece earlier, I would have already had it.
Appreciate it Francois.
I guess I never wanted to embrace the rage over the RB2, but it is a killer piece on the wrist, which of course is so much more important than how it is in photos.
Congratulations, Michael

Will do, thanks Respo.
I'll enjoy it for a while to really let it sink in and come back to it for sure.
Really a comfortable piece.
I'll admit, it has been a while since I have worn an AP clasp. They work OK for me, but the wide straps and tang buckles are just so comfortable. One thing that surprises me is the heft of the piece. I was expecting it to be a little less with the titaniu...
Nice pick up Michael . . .
. . . it looks so sweet on the wrist. And the Survivor strap is a terrific mate for the watch. I'm a little envious, well actually a lot envious :-) Dan
Thanks Dan.
You can wear it when I am testing all of the Mastershops... too much force on caliber!! ;-)
It's a cool one for sure.
I'm having a hard time describing it; it's classic and cutting edge at the same time. Feels new but vintage. Thanks for the words doc.
I was rather late to the party on it Sal
But better to arrive late than never at all! Hope all is well your way.
Big Congrats!
Congratulations Michael. Take good care of that special baby! It is really unique and you deserve it! :-)
Very warm words, thanks RTO.
As you know, I have been working crazy hours the past year. It's not so easy to launch a new company in your "free time". I'm inching closer every day to where I want to be. The RB2 comes at a great time. It will be well cared for my Friend!
Congrats!
It's a pure class of timeless classic ROO! Wear it in good health, mate =) Regards, Alex
Great looking watch... Well done
I am happy on your newborn,,,, That feeling when a new addition join the stable is a great one Ian t it? Huge congratulations its a gorgeous watch. Mo
Thanks TFG.
The pattern on the Survivor strap matches great with the square perforations in the dial.
That is the one version I have seen...
In 2007, at the America's Cup in Valencia, Spain. It was awesome for sure. The owner had just received it and was not about to pass it around. Not an everyday day piece for my tastes, but stunning for sure. The RB2 is one LE edition where an argument coul...
Hi Michael, like you it's taken me a very long time to warm to this watch
But there is no doubt that it looks fantastic on your wrist. Shame Octavio didn't draw this watch for you!
Guess I super heated on it!
It's amazing. I don't like to make blanket statements or rash decisions, but I simply cannot deny how amazing this Offshore is. I much prefer the Survivor sketch Octavio made for me... I'll add the scan soon.
Beautiful Piece!
Michael, The watch is great looking. I particularly like the crown and chrono pushers. Congratulations! Dave
Thank you Dave.
The pushers and guard assembly are very cool on this model. As we see now with other models like the Schumacher, the design has stood the test of time.
Spanish GP 2008 - I met RB. Fantastic experience.
Brawn Team was staying at the hotel. Met up with them in the bar each night. I was wearing my AP RBII all week had had tucked the QC Cert for the watch in my wallet, just in case the impossible happened. RB was very friendly and happy at the F1 after-race...
Great stuff there Dan!
Cool moment for you, and an RB signed QC certificate?? Maybe the only one in the world!
