That's a lot of jewels...

...and it's a truly lovely watch. I just wished they had used a manual movement that fit the case better...
Yup. Including the DD chronograph module it has more than 400 parts.

I've never fathomed the lament "wish this was an automatic/manual." If I wanted a watch with a particular movement, I'd get it: quartz, spring drive, manual, automatic or solar. Am curious to learn why it took AP so long to produce its own automatic calib...

The inward-sloped bezel gives the dial a nice, compact appearance. Its pronounced numerals and hands don't feel squeezed for space at all, and apart from a wee nibble of the 8 the registers don't eat at the numerals either. It's all quite well done.
My RG says hi

Brings you back to the art deco era of the '20s. Noticed the end of the "4" horizontal line is crossed and my RGM 801E has the same "4" design. Does anyone know where this look of the 4 came from? or is it just a flourish, shared with RGM (stunning guillo...
Looks brand new.

Sorry I missed replying here, I recall seeing the post and thought I had! I love this JA case. And a 2 subdial watch is very much to my liking.
