That’s a fair point

Totally agreed that probably the most of us wouldn’t buy one of these ultra TOP of the line AP concept LEs whether we love them or not . The ones we are really looking forward to are the regular production pieces and the more accessible LEs like the GP, Schumacher, or the QE2 etc which are all fantastic pieces and probably Less outlandish. I say again - I actually really love the new case and pushers of the 25th anniversary Tourbillon and I hope perhaps they incorporate into next years SiHH 2018 production models .. #fingerscrossed

Still my favourite APs

After seeing the 25th anniversary editions - namely the tourbys and the polarising views of AP fans , I am very content with my personal favourite AP pieces that struck the perfect balance between pushing the envelope for design and materials whilst keepi...  

i definitely need more clues..... [nt]

always tempted by an AP......never pulled the trigger.

Love the way the red pops out of the dial

The new models are not yet being correctly understood for what they are, and why they are.

People are replying like SIHH has just ended and this is everything. It would be nice to allow some time for things to play out, but of course we live in a world of instant judgement. Regarding your two, lovely pieces, for sure.

I agree 100% Michael

It's only just the beginning and I love what I have seen so far!

Well, even past what else may or may not come out...

The re-edition Offshore and Anniversary Offshore are being judged on the wrong merits. My opinion of course.

Fair enough

As a Long time ap fan, I am certainly hoping that the other releases for sihh2018 will redeem itself . I don’t want to drink the “AP - koolaid” and hold back my sentiments when I see something I don’t like or if something unsatisfactory has occurred in te... 

Your 2 are awesome, no denying it.

We welcome all opinions here. If everyone criticizes AP, I personally won't lose any sleep. But the fact is, many comments are judging the Anniversary Tourbillon as if it is the new regular collection Offshore line, or how the future of all Offshores will... 

That’s a fair point

It is fun to think back to those years... we were treated to a wicked new Offshore LE on a regular basis.

Alinghi Polaris, Juan Pablo Montoya, Rubens Barrichello II, Alinghi Team Chronograph, Survivor, Grand Prix, LeBron, Schumacher... it was a continuous ride. Yet, some complained "why so many LEs", and now the opposite "when is AP going to do something cool...
