Audemars Piguet

as this is your first post i will welcome you to the forum

 

whether i will excuse your aggressive attitude and attempt to belittle my opinion remains to be seen.

as this is your first post you know nothing about me, nothing about my collection and nothing about the way this forum works. if you had read the forums rules then maybe you wouldnt have made this post which contravenes the friendly atmosphere we love so much.

it is your opinion that this is one of the finest timepieces on earth, it is my opinion that it looks like a $100 piece of ebay quartz trash. neither of us are wrong as you cannot be wrong by having an opinion, you can, however, be very wrong for criticising someone elses opinion.

your guess that i could not afford such a fine watch is totally incorrect, i have owned watches that are much more desirable than this, but on this forum it is irrelevant as we do not discuss price and make no definition between a well made watch costing under $1000 or over $100,000.

i dont actually have any quartz watches in my collection, just a large number of rare or interesting pieces.

if you intend to continue posting in this manner can i suggest you do it on another forum as it is not acceptable on this forum.

kind regards

a piece of cheap quartz tat that you can buy from the bay for $100 or less. its the ridiculous pusher guards that do it i think. sorry ofr the negative comments, but its got to be the worst ROO yet. Graham

All wrong...

I find it interesting that someone who is as clueless as you, thinking that this watch as a quartz movement has the balls (or should I say stupidity) to critique such a masterpiece of a watch. Watches are ART... ART by definition cannot be critiqued. You ...

Freedom of speech is a complicated thing is it not? Here you are yelling from the roof tops that you have the right to say anything but at the same time you cannot take it when someone responds to YOUR opinion. You might want to look at the mechanics of h...

I was lucky enough to see it in the flesh, tonight... Mixed feelings, my friends... I love the military look of this ROO, which is surprisingly comfortable, very comfortable to wear... The main problem for me is when you look at the 2 crownguards...They'r...

Someone got carried away with their new CAD/CAM capability. I like the "high tech" vulcanised rubber strap.... In this heat, my unvulcanised ones droop alarmingly! A note to Marketers: Perhaps when this material is applied to straps on more traditional wa... 

Dang, I thought it was a back up edged weapon...

Or perhaps something for the "hero" to use in a high tension escape scene where he/she needs to cut through a rope or similal item. Gaz

We shouldn't rule that out...

As a bonus the caseback doubles as a meat tenderiser. I plan to convert my chrono pushers to conical asap. I need the instantaneousness!

Love the new AP "Survivor" gives you the look and feel of authority, Cool military designs. Looking forward to buying one.

Turbo, no disrespect and please dont take this the wrong way as no offence is meant at all, but a watch cannot give you a feel of authority. if you need one to give you that feel then perhaps you need to take a step back and take stock of life. i personal...

I find it interesting how many people are stupid enough to believe that their own personal ideal of beauty somehow means something more than a simple brain fart. A fine watch is a piece of art... Very much like a painting or a musical creation... Saying t...

If freedom of speech allows some members here to insult great artists who bring us these watches then how is it that I am not allowed to make a stand for the artists they are so readily insult?

i wont rise to the bait as your comments arent worth replying too.

It is needless to be so agressive with one of our long time members.

 
By: amanico : February 24th, 2012-12:20
There is nothing wrong to disagree with someone else opinion, that is the richness of our forum. BUT being that agressive and direspectful with one of our ( long time, or not ) members is not something we tolerate. First and last warning. Best, Nicolas Th...
