That white IWC looks identical to my IWC Top Gun except the color scheme............

sometimes the temptation of the look gets to you! i know!
god bless bro

haha you're right
the JLC is still topping the list, but you can't blame me for timing my decision and waiting for SIHH '11 to be over
hopefully after the Basel show in March things will become even clearer

as for same manufacturer, you're right .. BUT, you can't really blame me for loving AP can you
the ROO is something that i know exactly what i will be getting with, and i love that

as for the "similar watches" comment
i beg to differ
true, they are of the same line BUT:

a. different materials (mine is SS, this is a combo of carb/cer/ti)
b. design is different, do not underestimate the chrono pushers and what they do to the look .. check out pics of it next to a rubber-pusher model to compare!
c. the 2011 black ROO meets my requirement of red accents
d. as i have asked myself, i need to figure out what i want more: the SHAPE or the "LOOK" - i need a black-overall-look for a watch

i am sure you can understand, given your Bumblebee acquisition

Yes, I wanted a all black watch and the BumbleBee ticked all boxes, It looks very special with the carbon and yellow highlights.

I changed my mind on the PP though, still didnt find a "watch" I would want badly. Will wait and see, for now I will enjoy what I have.

i tried the Bumblebee at the boutique a couple of weeks ago, it was AWESOME!
but i cannot stop thinking about its practicality with the wardrobe .. does it ever clash with what you wear?
did you get it in the summer? how does it fare with a white deshdasha for example?

i am confident it looks great with any casual wear (jeans/tshirt) regardless of colour or whatever .. but i am rediscovering my love for deshdashas

sorry to hear about the PP
but do not worry, enshala the time WILL come bro

It is mostly black it wont look too in your face like a RG ROO for example, it goes well but nothing beats a Rolex GMT 2 with the Desdasha.

Looking at the watches you picked, my suggestion of an IWC pilot 7 -day reserve was a poor choice because yours all have busy faces. I think the yacht club is an awesome watch, and a bit better MSRP to swallow than perpetual. Also, if you are going with a rrattrapante this panerai is amazing!
