Hahaha I know. I rejected 3 prior to it though. The 120 was the main issue I'm down £510 for a watch that isn't correctly aligned, winds me up!

If disalignement with 0.02mm bothers you, should never buy an ap diver. If the alignment is acceptable there is no drama, it can't be pefect. From about 20 watches seen in this thread i don't know if even 5 of them has PERFECT alignment. Mine is not perfect too, but i'm happy cos it's at least acceptable. In the rep world perfect should be a taboo word, the things should be acceptable, they cannot be perfect.

It's like finding the perfect wife. There's always something wrong, but you love her no matter what 
Its amazing what detail you can overlook. I received my Schumacher on Friday and its a stunning watch, a beautifully engineered piece. However I noticed that the AUDEMARS PIGUET printing below the silver AP logo is simply not there - its been missed off! I re-checked the qc pics and amazingly, I'd entirely not noticed it, I guess too intent on making sure the fine detail was all ok. Bizarrely, though, I actually don't mind as I think the dial, which is already busy, looks better with out it, the simple refined silver AP logo just filling the void nicely. I will try to post a pic or two later.
I'm just amazed I missed it, particularly as I generally have strong attention for detail. But, as I say, I actually prefer it without the printing, the solo silver AP logo looking very nice indeed. Also on the positive side when the crown is screwed in tight the red AP disc is straight, which is a rare bonus!
Really like these 44 ROOs, such that I will probably move my two 42mm CF Divers on, as I doubt I will be wearing them much in the future.
I have the opposite in my QC pics, lettering in but logo out (it seems to be there just not in silver)!
Ordered this baby from Pure-time tre days ago. It got shipped yesterday here is some of the QC pics. I will update with a wrist shot as soon it arrives:thumbsup:

So does anyone for sure know the rose gold will be produced? Or has it all been speculation? I am not one for gold watches usually but damn the MS is sexy in yellow.

Just received a couple days ago, and wow seriously a piece you can only fully appreciate in real life! the pics just don't do it justice (especially the QC pics).
The contrast between the brushed and polished surfaces are stunning.
I'm surprised how much of this watch was actually taken from other ROOs (crown and pushers), and the strap is not unique either. I would have thought being a Limited Edition Michael Schumacher it would have been more unique.
Wondering if a strap could be made of the F1 racing suit material, then it would have a more "special" connection to F1 as well, now to find samples of this fabric...
