Not for me I'm afraid.

I find that all APs are overpriced for what they are. They are trying to create a Patek / Lange like image (in terms of exclusivity, not look) without the substance to back it up.

The ROOs are nice watches, but lousy value in my opinion.

:yeahthat I also like the look of the ROOs, but the 7750 based movement is a real downer for me on something that expensive.

Same here, but I like their watches with complications.

Good decision,
Mine hasn't left my wrist since it arrived, and I see no end in sight. 150% satisfaction. :D

That made me chuckle!

Just be a man taffy and accept that the damn thing was made for you.

I don't like Rolex and I like this watch - and if I like it, then it must be good - no debate allowed :wink: :nana:

Oh for Pete's sake, stop looking at it. Just accept it. I'm willing to bet that if you sell it, you will miss it. Nothing feels like this watch, it has a look and mechanical feel that I've never experienced in any other watch. You'll end up buying another.

The GMT, while nice, lacks the amazing ratcheting bezel (GMT has 24 clicks instead of 120) and the clasp. It also doesn't say 3900 friggen meters on the dial!
