Audemars Piguet

Sort of to test drive it and give it more interactive time to better formulate a proper assessment and overall an opinion This is the simplest CODE in WG and blue dial which is probably the most hard dial to capture It was really challenging to show the t...  

As I have plans to add the white gold black dial version to my collection it will be interesting for me to hear your final thoughts. Especially interested about the legibility of the hands against this strongly domed sapphire....

but it doesn t work .i m sorry

Very hard to swallow and see the value in that.

Haha you probably loose the friend but hey the watch ain’t bad haha How is it in the real metal, comfortable, still bit odd or not, do you get many spontaneous reactions from people you meet and who see the watch? Or is it all calmed down a bit

I red in a comment some time ago, a complain of somebody who say, always Audemars Royal Oak. My opinion is that the guy has right. Audemars is a bit of change afraid. The 11:59 as a dresser is welcome to their collection. But as i say Panerai. They also d... 

100% agree with your assessment so far! I think that the foundation of the watch (the case and movement) are actually really great! It is the dial and hands which are for me the the thing that makes me not like the watch but those are things which are rel... 

The case looks great but that dial and hands 🤔 maybe when they make a Salmon dial with slightly bigger blue hands and numerals 😉

A long seasoned AP enthusiast, good to read your thoughts on it.

The design is uninspiring, too plain and unoriginal. Not for me, thanks.
