Just to clarify - those pictures are a Complication 29, not a 19.

I agree that it is an amazing piece - I'd love one, but gold lists in the mid $40K range and platinum over $70K (before the increases).

250 gold, and 100 platinum produced.

I've handled the gold, it's amazing, but not at that money!!

Ok and I have seen the plat... and i do like that.... though as many people have pointed and will point out you wont know the difference from steel on first glance....

No with regards to the waiting time for tis particular piece is anything from 8 months to year epending on you choices..... atleast this is true in uk...

Thanx for the correction Roffesian :) indeed these are complication 29 which are way more expensive than the 19

I am targeting the complication 19 platinum with bronze or blue dial, my AD if offering it for around $11,200. Now as far as i understood the bezel is only platinum, not the whole case! could any one confirm on that?

For "only" $11,200 I'd be absolutely certain that it'll only be the bezel that's platinum. Still a lovely watch though. Go for it! :thumbsup:

Correct - still a nice piece though. The regular Mark VI looks too much like a Legende to me, but the complications are nice.

One of the coolest features of the Regular Mark VI is that the Chronograph seconds and minutes are both center mounted.. makes it much easier to use/read. Don't think the complications 19 and 29 have that setup, but they have plenty other stuff going on that makes them nice.

First time, I saw the Complication 19 (also the 29) at the basel fair 2007. I asked, if I could keep it on my wrist (which I could not), but ordered it immediately for personal use (gives a better price). I received it in the first week of may, and, except for a diving holiday, I did not wear another watch since. Its just perfect.

I tried on the Complication 19, and the AD offered it to me at around $13K including taxes. This is based on the prices before price increase since it is stock they had before it.
