Hey guys would love to hear your opinions! And any pics if you have...

Here are my thoughts....

in my opinion the RB II Rose is the best looking AP Offshore limited edition watch. I think the detail of the dial and the black sub dials on the white dial gives it an edge over the Montoya. had a look at all the new 3 GP's and personally I am a little disappointed after seeing them in the flesh. The dials seem a little too busy, its a close call but maybe The Rose Gold version of the 3 looks the best.. And the transparent case-back is a nice plus on the range. The Carbon fibre one has had a lot of hype and advertising but I don't know why they made 1750 pieces instead of 1000 as normal... I think it makes it less exclusive...

I do think so far nothing has been able to match the look and pure elegance of the RB II rose.... Please share your thoughts!

Although it's a non chrono ROO.Or the alinghi one

IMO, the multiplication of LE kills Exclusivity, so I won't take it as a good criteria at the moment of the decision.

My favourite LE ROO is the Orchard Road.

Tantalum case, rubber bezel, grey dial and 8 in red, all these details make a great watch.

Not too exuberant, sporty yet elegant.

By far, my favourite...

After the RO concept, in 2002...That one is a GRAIL!

Hi, PP,

There are actually pics of all the pieces Nicolas mentioned in the original AP forum...

a great topic....

however I suggest that opinions come with photos in order for those of us
who are not very familiar with all the editions to be able to judge too...



thanks

cheers

though I agree, the Bartorelli Scuba is a very nice looking piece, and unusual in the use of brass (or was it bronze?)

I happen to think this is a timeless classic as well -

Orchard Road

Here is picture of the beauty.  Had to snap a pic of it after read this thread.  the bezel patina hasnt really changed ever since it was delivered.  Enjoy!

Thanks, Dan

Great photo of your Bartorelli.  Is there some type of clear coating on the bronze bezel to protect it from oxidizing?

and hence maybe thats why the patina hasnt gotten more greenish

The Red 8 is splendid, and adds some life to this gorgeous and sober version of the ROO.

Best,

Nicolas

The EOD is THE one for me. I also like the RB II in titanium. There are MANY ltd ed ROO that I like but these two are my favorites by far.

Here are some pics to show what I mean... 2 x pics of the Barachillo II Rose Gold and 1 x pic Grand Prix Rose Gold and the Carbon 1 x pic Grand Prix Rose Gold and Platinum

no two ways about it...

1) T3

2) TA

3) Orchard Rd

IMO, the best ever sport AP is the Concept in alacrit.  The second is the Survivor - nice combination of reflective and matte black - Ti case and shiny ceramic really work. Also it's comfortable to wear...

Like some others mentioned, the Barrichello II is the best looking LE. In my opinion, it's followed by 2010 Grand Prix in RG, & the Don Ramon de la Cruz.

and that too in the same order..

Not a big fan of the RB3 - its a bit over the top!

so my vote goes to the RB2

but based on a fair amount of wrist time, it may go down as one of the all time greats...
