would love to see pictures once you get it. Not a fan of the dial, but interesting none-the-less

I ordered mine as well.

I know for sure the factory did it right and looked for some amazing details....well they had a WIS AP collector to assist them

I will do a review onece I received my piece, cheers

[mossanti]

cool Please do some reviews...they look nice!

Shame the bezel is all in one colour.... I guess the wis collector T forgot it should be a bit darker inside :)

I was wondering the same thing. I remember there were 2 versions and was wondering whether that was because it is the other version. I know Theo will know.

some better pics from the original:

Tour Auto:

Driver Boutique Edition (should be out soon according to Dr. Theo)

What a beauties!

[Yannou]

My QC pics...

[Guest Sql_pl]

Nice but what can be done about that bezel?

[edgematic1]

sure it's not the lighting?

[Yannou]

sure it's not the lighting?

I hope

[Guest Sql_pl]

Nope, it clearly is darker inside.

[alanytical]

I think it's the lighting, or shading, and the way light reflects off of the sand blasted finish that is causing the inner bezel to look darker in that picture. It is certainly not two tone metal.

[edgematic1]

Yes, that's my opinion as well...

[alanytical]

Here's a better comparison.

Ok, I hope I am wrong then.

[fitipaldi]

wow, good search alanytical!! you're indeed an analytical man!! heheh

Edit: This tour auto rep strap would be nice in the Silver Themes...

The darker bezel is just the lightning, I have seen a gen TA 2010 3 months ago at an AD, the angle you look on the bezel shows it in different shades of silver.....thats the reason why AP is sticking to the wonderful mega tap. dials!

And just to share some more information for all:

Tour Auto 2010 (LE of 60 pieces) red accents, TA caseback

National Classic Tour (LE of 40 pieces) red accents, NCT caseback

Drivers Boutique Edition with orange accents (no limitation number), has the new, 2010 caseback!

Get this AP as your Xmas present....this rep is great and very nicely done with an eye on detail.

Theo

P.S.: ...and just to convince my friend M. that the darker bezel is a trick of light (Drivers Edition)...

[Yannou]

Just got mine today and great rep

first bad pics about it.

The quality of this AP is very high. I never tried the GEN so it's only a personal opinion...

The dial is not black but dark grey which is very nice. The rehaut is beautifull.

The bezel is sandblasted...no doubt

The strap : I don't know if I will change it for a hornback with red stitch..

Will need a double AR treatment

The lume is pretty good and I will test it tonight...

So now the pics took with my poor iphone...

[MADRED7]

Yannou,

your words encourage me....glad you like it.

I know that the factory put a lot of effort in this piece and they really took the time to get the small details right!

Congrats on this piece.....don´t change the strap, it needs to be this racer-style strap, looks awesome and fits to the style of the complete set.

Looking forward to some high-res pics....my watch will take some days longer and I will do a complete review after I received it,

cheers all.

Theo

P.S.: Thanks Josh....you did a great job!!!

[fitipaldi]

the watch looks awesome!! could you take some more pics of the strap please??

thanks

[Yannou]

thanks

for you

[fitipaldi]

Thank you very much Yannou!!! I was thinking to install this strap on a Silver themes...

[MADRED7]

Merci Yannou,

overall the watch is different to my usual ROO´s....so that was a good reason to purchase it.

Theo

P.S.: The strap of the SINGAPORE GP would also look nice on the TA2010

[Yannou]

but be carefull as it seems to be fragil...I just broke mine today...
