Day 2 and Decision Made on the Michael Schumacher Offshore LE

Last night literally was a sleepless night for me. It's just a watch but had me tossing and turning. I feel very fortunate to be able to purchase this and also fortunate to have the AP NY boutique staff treat me like family. It's a great feeling. In all seriousness I have been able to shop at many great shops but their staff is the best worldwide. No exaggeration. This is my 6th watch from them and it just gets better every time.

Which do I go with? Titanium or Rose Gold? My favorite color for a dial is grey so both win that. But my all time favorite combo is Rose Gold and Grey. I have a DeBethune DB22 and a A.Lange Timezone both with that combo. It's just stunning. Now with the ceremet on the Rose it just pops. This rose looks even better than the traditional Rose color AP uses. I am sure it's the same formula but the Ceremet does the trick.

So went to the boutique again with my Titanium on.

Some Nice Limited Offerings. 57th Street Ladies, 2012 Tour Auto, Trulli and Buemi.

Tried the Rose on again.

Back to the Titanium

Pondered a bit on which one

Couldn't Resist. This is IT FOR ME!

Comparison but really no chance in my mind. Rose Gold Ceremet Schumacher Limited to 500 Pieces Worldwide.

Thank you Johnny, Manuella, Yvette, Will and Jasmine. You guys are freaking rock stars.

Please excuse the iphone5 pics. Too much lighting in the boutique.

:) Still have to wait for delivery since the one there was spoken for. I guess I wasn't fast enough. :)

Awesome Henry!! I felt you were leaning that way.

My comments earlier were sincere; there is something ultra cool about the black subdials, trimmed in RG, on grey, with that silverized minute track. Could not be happier for you!! In case I don't get to see it before, make sure you bring it to the APAC 20...

Omg APAC. I can caddy...

Nonsense! I have only played once since :-(

Still battling this elbow problem. Hope to get 2 or 3 practice rounds in before next summer! We have a title to defend my Friend :-) BTW, kind of off topic, I would love your thoughts on the new Messi LEs if you handled them. I'm diggin' your cermet on RG...

Hahaha stop downplaying your skills!...

Hahaha stop downplaying your skills! Messi? It is a really nice looking watch. Bezel pops like crazy but I might be the minority here. I don't like any of the 41mm ROs. I think the text is too large and for the royal oaks they should all remain 39mm and k...

Congratulations

It's a fantastic watch. The rose gold version is very narrowly my favourite over the titanium. If money was no object then it's the one I'd go for. It's a great looking watch and comparisons to the GP probably explain why I like it so much. I think it tak...

I will start a thread on the ROCs separately.

I appreciate your thoughts and share them as well; we'll explore this more in a few days. I am guilty of getting us off topic on your thread! Still so excited for a Purist to already have this new Royal Oak Offshore Schumacher LE on the way :-)

Not the best picture Michael

but here is a 36mm, 39mm and 42mm. Feel free to use for your reference post. ...

WOW

By: ThisFlyGuy : October 19th, 2012-22:05

congrats on the new purchase...probably one of the first on the forum with it?

Barrichello+, love the color combinations. I dislike the overused word but I can't resist...AWESOME! Jeff

Thanks Jeffrey. nt

Can you take a side by side with a barrichello?

By: pfang56 : October 20th, 2012-08:25

Would be interested to get your thoughts comparing the schumi vs. the barrichello.

I can do that when the piece arrives. Thanks. nt

Congratulations!

I also think it is hard to choose between the RG and the Ti versions. I just think the RG and the Cermet look great together as the Gold and Grey/silver bezel have great contrast. It was also Schumi's choice to wear at the Press Launch. :) I'm sure you wi...
