Inc is my fav so far. The white one. I haven't seen white before. Blue is pretty also but 3 times$

I mean the perpetual calendar is my favorite. I have been looking (aka dreaming) about the 7 day Portuguese for awhile, IWC ftw. Not a big fan of the pilot u listed, the big pilot, those are the sex.

thanks mate, may you enjoy it in great health! 
the JLC is still topping the list, but some contenders have popped up recently and i need to clear my head and think about the following:
1. do i want a new-to-me SHAPE of a watch? i.e. squarish
2. or do i wish to acquire the MATERIAL? since it is a Ti (which i do not own any of) - and here it is competing with other VERY attractive prospects (ceramic/carbon)
3. or is it the COLOR i am after? namely, a dominantly black overall look
4. as MeanMachine pointed out, do i want the world chrono, or a sapphire caseback?
so without further adieu gentlemen, yes, i am talking about this badass: the new AP ROO

ABK and woppum,
the legacy is way out of my budget, and i both don't like and cannot (religion) wear gold
still, i love the legacy in the pics!
not so crazy about the left side of the watch though
PLUS i dig the dashes instead of the arabic numerals (i own a Panda and wish for as much difference as possible)
cool to see the case in ceramic, but i would rather have the mixture of carbon/ceramic/titanium if i opt for the black 2011 ROO

oh and btw:
1. what do you guys make of AP's decision to let go of the folding clasp on the 2011 models? i personally cannot understand it + not a fan at all (even before trying it, i already know)
2. can the 2011 models (white steel + black carbon/ceramic) be fitted with the straps of previous years?
i.e. can you get the "older" rubber strap with folding clasp and install it on the 2011 models?
*this is assuming that the 2011 strap itself cannot be fitted with the folding clasp*
