I think that's a different situation altogether because this will mean an entire new line of watches for AP. Those watches you posted are unique pieces that wont necessarily receive official press releases as they're probably done for individual customers or in the 27-02's case could possibly be Richard Mille having unused 27-02 movements lying around that they decided shove into 35-01 cases. I don't think those watches would ever make it into the public eye other than through outlets like instagram or here on The Purists, which as a collector is truly amazing we get to see stuff that we wouldn't ever see otherwise.

Pretty Annoying
By: HorologyMiami : June 6th, 2018-10:57
This post really rubbed me wrong way. Is AP really letting people with a small instagram following post their latest and greatest creations with captions like that? Don't get me wrong the watch looks AMAZING! BUT I want to learn as much about it as I can ...
Well, I am the AP Moderator and this is how I learned about it too.

In the old days I might receive a release or notice ahead of time. This is the world we live in, ultra fast communication and everything happens through social media. Obviously, the brand is not concerned with only partial information being available. If ...

I understand, but I also believe that as the moderator for AP on a forum with a fairly large following (that's actually recognized by Audemars Piguet) that you probably would have been more careful with the wording of such a post rather than using emoji's...
Regardless

Regardless of how it was released, I think we can say that this is a very exciting piece. The Self Winding Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon () is rarely seen but the forged carbon execution was just fantastic (I don't love the rose gold ones with the white d...
Please don't assume that Francois was reluctant. It's not fair.

Francois invited me to a manufacture tour last week. When I first met him, I was adamant that they needed to change their concept in order to make it more wearable. He said that I was not the only one, and they were working hard on it, because at the end ...
LOL, classic Francois! You are welcomed to post here, horoloupe.

As I replied, I take no offense whatsoever. I have a busy work life, and a Family to look after, so I am all for you guys running with any bona fide information AP gives you. I only object when people post erroneous information or misleading information, ...

On a serious note though you are right and not just AP all the last few pics I posted on the RM forum from the same source IG I guess this could be the new norm

I’m with you HorologyMiami
By: renerod : June 6th, 2018-12:19
I get mad with my nieces because they don’t know how to write or spell correctly, and all of a sudden the youngsters substituted written language with emojis!!! 😜😫😔 But sadly like MichaelC said, I believe that with the explosion of social media and super ...
I agree with you (I posted the photo)
By: horoloupe : June 9th, 2018-22:51
Please read what I replied to HorologyMiami in his previous comments, but what I have to say is that Instagram is a more informal, casual form of mass communication where emojis are rampant and better express emotions with less characters. No one wants to...
Yes, I guess that happens
By: renerod : June 11th, 2018-16:08
When we take a piece of information disregarding the context. Anyway I hope my post was not aggressive and only expressed my opinion of what I would like to see/read at PuristsPro. Best. René
Let me tell you more about this watch.
By: horoloupe : June 9th, 2018-22:39
In my defence, I was filled with too many emotions to properly come up with a caption. I have been waiting for a comfortable, properly fitting concept for too long, and was ecstatic when Francois put it on my wrist. I apologize if my caption isn't to ever...
Haha it's a pocket shot.
By: horoloupe : June 9th, 2018-22:53
Check out a photo I posted 2 days ago. It's a photo of the concept in white (It's available in red, white, and baby blue), and it's right side up. Again, my instagram is: horoloupe
Brilliant.

The best from AP, and I am in total agreement regarding the way it was premiered but per Michael - c'est la vie.... Cheers, Filip

Dear Riddler, you’re right...
By: mywrongwrist : June 8th, 2018-12:42
.... I ‘m happy with the life God decides me to have, I own a humble 30 something collection, but trust me before I wrote my previous post I really decided to get rid of most of it I ‘m tired to see what watch collecting is becoming... I will take only so...
Thanks Riddler!
