What about the movement it's older like the Ruben II, is it stable?

I don't think you'll get a sec@12 that's stable to be honest. Better than previous yes, but they are all ticking time bombs

I have 6 sec@12 movements here, including one from the very first batch of these movements. all 6 work perfectly. I can not confirm that these are time bombs.

Damn nice. I'm hoping that's how my panda is as well. Just never know I guess.

The prototype of the Schumacher looks very promising, only some small/minor corrections, nothing serious, need to be done (datewheel e.g.).

Not sure about flaws that are noticed by me, not sure if the factory sees any need to correct these minor flaws.

I sit on the fence, money in my hands, readyto pullthe trigger themoment it appears!

Did Angus finally sent you a pic? This morning you questioned if it would be released and now you talk about DW flaws?
What happened?

.... for now we only saw black/white and white/black datewheels for ROO´s. THe red/black has to be newly printed and was not yet ready. I also suggested to adjust the font and size but I doubt the factory will listen.

What do you all think how long it takes from a prototype to a mass-product???

Let me just say, release date is unknown but won´t be in the next 3 weeks. The prototype is stunning, the watch is and will be a beauty and hot-seller.

BTW: we have not yet heard of any release date, we have not yet seen any spy-pics of the watch or anything that will convince us thatthe release will really happen!

This is turning out funny, in post 223 you are telling us that us that we have not even seen spy pics and now you are telling us that the watch
is stunning? Another big lol is the DW story. For sure it needs to be red and get reprinted, I think J12 knows.

Yes, you have not seen pics! Have you?
And yes, J12 knows about the datewheel, the correct one was just not ready to show in the prototype :D
Anyway .... the watch will be great.

Thanks but is it close meaning like bumble bee close way back when?

What I saw was pretty far along. It would be good for them to expose the work-in-progress for general critique to our nit-picking eyes. But it is their call. Meaning, J12's call.

I don't know their release schedule. They seem pretty busy with an ambitious launch program of many different models.
