As Crocodile Dundee famously said, "Now THAT'S a display back!"...  

and very cool! These push bottom design is sharp and way ahead of anyone at any price range that i can think of looking forward to seeing more from our scout team~ Cheers, Ed~

The way they did the bezel is interesting, I'm surprised they can do that design and not worry about stress cracks. Also the fusion of the two materials must be a technical challenge for waterproofing. Not only is this a cool design but a engineering wond... 

... gorgeous watch. They did it again... aaaaaghh... any idea of the price? K.

& colorful for formal dress, more importantly what cufflinks to match this bad boy!? same goes for all the MBFs :s cheers, Ed~ This message has been edited by lien on 2010-01-18 03:43:26

as Fomar so aptly wrote, it would go best with attire like this......  

Everything I did not like in the Alinghi has been fulfilled by this baby................I can easily see my self cruising in my red 599gtb or 458 Italia with this timekeeper on....................wake up....wake up ....lol.

perfect

With the left over money spent on the Grand Prix, I will atleast be able to pick the color red...  

karting certainly catch the grand prix spirit & perhaps its even more rare than the Zonda i m curious, what brand is it? cheers, Ed~

The sharp angles of the crown and chrono pusher buttons remind me of a particular kind of Lamborghini Reventon Sports Car. A very cool watch indeed that looks awesome on the wrist. I even like the strap! Thanks for the photos! This message has been edited... 

The design is absolutely flawless. Puts the previous LE models to shame.

... my heart goes for the RG. The titanium has that gold ring around the dial, reminds me of the BB, but in a sweeter way. The strap looks amazing and comfy. I wonder how it will resist water and sweat. But it looks very very nice, especially with the red... 

IMO, the watch is merely a mix of design elements ruining the entire piece perception. 1. Sorry guys, but subdials are just auwfull, no comments... 2. What's the reason to make upper level of bazel in SOFT forged carbon and low level in HARD ceramics??? M... 

the DNA of the RBII is very strong in that piece VERY strong but non the less this is as beautiful and more of a modernized version of the RBII This message has been edited by mabanomy1 on 2010-01-18 05:22:59

Should be a winner. JerryW

Is it a Grand Prix edition or Barrichello ? Love the watch, looking much better than my Bumblebee Thanks, Jet

It is definitely NOT called a Barrichello. Hey, the Bumblebee is pretty awesome too!!!

being an F1 fan...it will be a Grand Prix L.E. Date: Jan 03, 2010,13:12 PM well, let's try to have a go to the Contest: Date: Jan 03, 2010,14:23 PM - (view entire thread) 1. The 3 unique or unusual design elements: - unusual hour indices on main register ...

Hi Thomas, thanks for the plaudit. Anyhow, here to you my view: for point 3 my answer was the correct one (the first is always valid): see the hour of my posts... being an F1 fan...it will be a Grand Prix L.E. Date: Jan 03, 2010,13:12 PM well, let's try t... 

nice watch, but its a gigantic one , not that elegant gigantic feeling of MB&F for example, i know both are way different things to compare but god, this one is massively chunky, IF im to own one it would be a watch to put on my wrist once in a while not ... 

it's personal! Hi, I'm sure many people agree with you about the Offshore line in general; I can tell you many many more (relatively speaking, vis a vis to the number of people who actually have even heard of it) feel even more strongly about the MB&F - t... 

i truly support your opinion , and i would never claim that the designers nor the people who craft these artistic time pieces are doing so to fool in marketing games. by the way im a royal oak OFFSHORE lover never thought the basic watch is a chunk in it ... 

Thank you for your comments! TM

Personally, I found the ROO Grandprix to be a little too colorful for my taste. Maybe time will tells and it might probably grows on me Anyway, this model gives another chance to AP fans who does not get a chance to get hold of RB2.
