Thank you MichaelC..
Means a lot to hear that from you! I'm sure you saw even more impressive pieces from AP - and glad to hear great minds think alike. I'm also dreaming for that Starwheel - I understand it's very hard to get - but perhaps there may be other satellite complications in the future?
Anyway, appreciate your thoughts always!!!
Cheers

My first Concept!
Hi all, Really really over the moon on this one! Just picked up the new split second GMT concept, an incredible piece I\'ve been savoring for a while. To be frank, following the release of the Black Panther I was hopeful to see new models in the new case ...
Ha! No...
And I won't try to wear cuffs so tight ever with this watch. Many thanks!! Peter
Not so nicely...
Doesn't slide under like a Patek with a 240 movement but it fits nonetheless Cheers Peter ...
Thanks much!
I recall you reviewed a 44mm concept in the past - oddly, the GMT Split has a thickness of 17mm and the GMT Tourbillon is at 16mm and change - yet the Split feels much more wearable. Must be the shorter lugs and the curved bezel/crystal on the Split vs th...
Thank you!!!
Mega mega mega for sure. Appreciate the note - still in a dream state! Peter
I does look nice...
But just the piece of mind for scratches would be fabulous. Maybe more difficult given that there are curved edges (it's not a flat bezel)... Peter
Thank you!! Big watch...
Maybe with the size it feels a little like Panerai, but with the curvature and titanium more RM Cheers Peter
Well said 😉
Huge congrats! One doesn't see an animal like this every day... well done!
Ha! Cuffs likely going to be destroyed.
A bit of bling and some haute horologerie - playing with the smooth split and the GMT function is a real blast Peter
Yes a beast but smaller than the previous Concept 44mm...
And certainly I prefer this Concept model over the character themed Concepts with different superheroes and beasts I also heard fully sold out for the Marvel models! Peter
Thanks! Super technical...
Some updated photos for fun. Changing the strap was super easy ...
My favorite AP....
With them I've always felt go big or go home . The Concept is spectacularly cool, sincere congratulations! Cheers, Filip
Cool - go big or go home...
And oddly somewhat practical. Parking meters, cooking time, and time zones. Yes an iPhone would be more accurate - but it's so cool going fully analog Cheers Peter
You are not playing around, are you?! This is absolutely incredible🔥🔥🔥😍
I’m curious why you went for this one instead of other concept models?
The wearability...
I dabbled with getting the 44mm concept - but I felt the case lugs were too wide, leaving a sizable strap overhang and spacing beyond the wrist. So, after trying the Black Panther I was thrilled to see the possibility of a smaller Concept, and immediately...
Agreed, notable difference between the 44 and 43.
Your 43mm fits perfectly around the wrist👌🏽…plus it is so much better looking than the ceramic pieces, IMHO. This is a technical marvel and beast.
Thank you! Definitely futuristic...
And the micro details are outstanding. Love the play of brushed and polished micro surfaces on the case, the different use of materials on the wings and pushers, and of course the skeletonization of the movement. Very reminiscent of the RM011-05 movement ...
Congratulations! I am sure you get lost in that dial and all the technicalities.
Love seeing it on a wrist that can fit the watch hahaha I tried a different concept on a while ago and definitely did not suit its lug length.
Indeed! Still a lot to explore...
This is the absolute limit for me in terms of wrist presence. As shared earlier, there was a major difference in the profile and fit of this 43mm Split Second Concept vs the 44mm Concept GMT Tourbi vs the 42mm Black Panther. One of the things I love is th...
Thank you very much!!
Looking forward to putting this on for the summer holidays Appreciate it, Peter
Underrated but ever so comfortable!
Behind the nearly surgical and industrial angles is the beauty and comfort of a curved case back and curved bezel and crystal. Just fabulous - and hope they make more Concepts with this design methodology, Cheers Peter
That’s fantastic, Peter!
Many congratulations. It looks great. With the curved case it looks very comfortable too. All the best, Jon
Appreciate it...
There are very few natural straight lines on the body - so a few curves makes the case more integrated and organic on my Wrist Many thanks, Peter
Amazing Concept.
Congratulations. Very impressive watch. The old style GMT Concept does not follow the wrist very well. Your watch looks great and I assume comfortable. The quick change straps are very practical. Maybe a white strap could look very cool for the summer.
Indeed - white strap would be excellent!
I don't think they have it yet - but there are some pretty unique straps that were included. I don't know the quick change system in the offshores but the system on the Concept is super easy. Just a press of a button for the strap and a flick of a lever f...
Great colors.
Thank you for the picture, the red and the yellow are nice options and the straps are designed beautifully. The 'quick change' system finally makes strap changes practical.
No words for this one!
But huge congratulations Peter! I wish I could have seen it during my recent visit. One of AP"s best new pieces in years. I greatly admire the watches you choose to add. I would happily select them all the same!
Thank you MichaelC..

Booooaaaaaaah!!!!
What an extraordinary watch, Peter! Many congrats!!!!! Bravo! A watch from AP I would also like to own... It has for me the perfect mix of practicability, modernity and over all an enormous wrist presence. You wear it extremely well. Enjoy it to the max! ...
Thanks!!!
