That wasn’t my question...

I’m simply asking if you have tried this watch on in a Boutique.

This one is also growing on me.

I strongly plan to add the time only version to my collection. I definitely love the case/sapphire construction : none of the other "big" players has anything comparable. Next time I will be in Paris I will visit the boutique to see the watch in person. S...

Interesting...

At least that’s resolved something.
I was in NY for a wedding this summer...

and took the opportunity to hit a lot of watch shops, both large and small (private). On a whim me and my wife went into the AP boutique in Manhattan (upper east side I think). Once past the understandable security it was an unpleasant experience. We were...
I appreciate your insightful reply.

And I am very happy to hear about your experience at the AP Boutique. That is exactly how it should be. I am not an AP employee, in no way compensated by them for what I write. Yes, it is a favorite brand of mine, and I have collected them for years. That...
I think AP should receive 10 out of 10 for a bold and brave design...

...in an effort to move away from the Royal Oak and flex their avant-garde design muscles. It's a shame people offering negative comments and feedback can't be more diplomatic and just try and grasp how difficult and challenging coming up with a new watch...
Thanks Michael

I hope this piece is the first step in the evolution of the Royal Oak becoming part of a company's range of watches rather than being recognised as it's only one.
My posting wasn’t addressed towards you!

And yes my comments might be not as constructive as they could but that’s what’s needed – a big clap in the face. Most people either live in a bubble while being brand whores eating them out of their hands or they bash the shit out of things. I‘m the guy ...
Dear Pour le Merite ...

Would it not be better to try and discuss this watch in a way that is In the spirit of our community in tone and dialogue.
What’s brave and bold about this design?
By: NickO : January 25th, 2020-15:09
I, personally, just don’t see it. To me, brave and bold design is De Bethune, URWERK, Harry Winston Opus Collection, MB&F etc. These guys all blaze new trails in design and break some glass along the way. I just don’t see that here at all. I think whe...
No argument from me Nick. All opinions are welcomed here.

I have taken no position on what the pre-launch marketing was. You guys can debate that until your faces are blue for all I care. I started this thread, my post states interest in the case. Whether or not my opinion of this watch in terms of its impact ma...
Before the 40th anniversary nobody cared about the 15202
By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : January 26th, 2020-05:20
There was the Off-shore, the best seller who kept AP alive through the years. Then, speculators and resellers began to collect as many as they could and AP reduced the supply. Then anyone wanted the iconic Royal oak, with ridiculous price increases for 14...
It is a collection with potential imho...

The work on the case is great and I like this new generation of movements. I'm less convinced by the two glass approach and some details on the dial. But I'm sure that things will be improved. And I would like to remember that nobody was buying a Jules Au...
My thoughts on the Code 11:59 - I think it will be a future classic
By: socabaptist : January 26th, 2020-16:36
The case is amazing, the dials for the most are great with the lacquer. The movements are top notch and the sapphire is beautiful. The problem is the hands and the indicies. Fortunately that's the easiest part to change. This with some minor adjustment is...
