Actually, part of the reason why I said this is best pic ever is because this is the first time I was able to see and appreciate the blue sparkle of the aventurine portion!

Again, the large dark discs cover up most of dial, which I wish showed more aventurine beauty…but I at least saw some thanks to you. I’m sure in person it’s even better too.👌🏽

Dreaming...

Of a Starwheel!! One of the best releases ever. Praying to the allocation gods for good karma Cheers Peter ...  

This is the most convincing picture I’ve seen of this piece so far!

It really looks perfect on your wrist. I still find the large wheels a bit overwhelming, but your wrist shot shows how balanced and cool the watch can look as a whole.👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

Thanks! It looks special in person...

And seems incredibly versatile as sport or chic or technical - the photo didn't do a perfect job of showing the aventurine highlights - but I think it's another detail that makes this watch special! Cheers Peter

Ahh yes!!

It also has a diverse mix of skeletonized finishes on the dial. And a black ceramic mid-case and crown! All quite harmonious. I think without the ceramic and without the aventurine it would be a very different and sober look. Cheers Peter

Agree

I tried it at the Ap event … I wish it was mine

How will it end? ;)

Not this year chief…

Political & Economic situation in Pakistan is really bad . Interest rates 25% and devaluation of the currency almost 60 percent year to year basis

Ouch. Too bad.

Indeed...

 
 By: pfang56 : May 19th, 2023-00:53
Thanks for the well wishes on allocation. It seems to be a unicorn piece - but one worth a wait or a wish or a dream! Will we see you with one soon? Cheers Peter

Thanks!

Good luck to all of us and our wishlists...thank god they don't arrive all at the same time or I will be eating Ramen for a year! Peter

I might be already there 😅

I have just declined one, which I've been waiting for a while, but the timing is not right... too many "calls" this quarter!

Feeling the pain!

I think I'm a "1 watch offered at a time" man now I guess when it rains it pours... Peter

historic complication

cased in an innovative format makes for a beautiful combination.

Yes!

We did discuss this before here...but after Remaster 01 I was totally hoping for a Starwheel or a 5516 Remaster. And lo and behold, the Starwheel appears...just incredible. I quite enjoy the canvas of the CODE and enjoy the dynamism the seconds hand provi... 

The Remaster is a looker...

 
 By: mdg : May 19th, 2023-01:34
...until you see how fat it is. Why didn't AP put in a manual movement? And at retail it is very pricey...

+++1!

If this is the model you have your heart set on, I wish you the very best in acquiring one! 👍🏻

 
 By: NickO : May 18th, 2023-23:53
For me, this design is a little overwhelming as there’s a lot going on! I find the original AP Star Wheel to be more balanced and more classically elegant. I guess that makes me a vote for old school and you a vote for new school. Vive la difference, mon ...  

Well, nothing beats the original.

 
 By: pfang56 : May 19th, 2023-00:58
And the incredible dial on the OG coupled with the clear discs and the fabulous font make the original even more special. I know if I don't succeed in allocation then I will probably get the vintage piece anyway...or maybe both!!! Cheers Peter

it looks great on you and I hope you get one allocated ! 👏

This said is a bit of a sad state of affairs that a client has to pray for an allocation. This is why I no longer buy APs

Sadly it's become so consistent across the board...

 
 By: pfang56 : May 19th, 2023-01:12
When there are even more incredible pieces released by manufacturers, playing with desirability and supply. I feel many times I'm playing with months to years of waitlists across several brands and sometimes being surprised (the Ceramic Beast) and being d... 

you are 100% right! 👏

I still feel lucky to own 3 APs including the 39mm openwork rose gold ! but to me the key was the buying experience. I acquired all these watches by ADs and it was really such a pleasure to try on pieces and buy then. This was around 2017-8. Not everythin... 

 
 By: synthetic : May 19th, 2023-01:39
Supply and demand I guess. But can anyone tell me what time it is on that watch face? I’m stumped.

11:00

Indeed...a true multi-dimensionality

 
 By: pfang56 : May 19th, 2023-14:52
And a mix of materials, surfaces, functions, and movement. I love my Urwerk but this one really strikes at my heart! Peter

I think it is definitely one of the best models...

 
 By: pfang56 : May 19th, 2023-14:54
If luck appears with the allocation - I'm super happy - but I'm already pleased with my PC Peter ...  

I have a feeling the call will come...

 
 By: MichaelC : May 21st, 2023-15:15
I am very excited to see this one in person. Hopefully this summer. Good luck to you dear Peter!
