I love (almost) everything about it...
...the one and only update I would wish for is to make it manual wind.
If I'm honest with myself when I look to purchase a nice chronograph, it's not for the ease of daily use via an automatic movement and to 'time things'. It's for the enjoyment of, and interaction with the watch and viewing the intricacies of the movement. And this is a watch I wouldn't mind winding every day. I understand the appeal of an automatic movement with a date or calendar function, but not a chronograph.
But I nitpick as it's a beautiful watch that I would love to own.
Kind regards,
Dan

There is an older post on this...
...but I will agree that a manual wind would have been more 'true' to a sporty chronograph and would probably have made the watch thinner. 38mm also would have been nice. Maybe a bit more contrast between the dial and the hour/minute hands? And for this p...
Manual movement would have been better
The fact that AP chose an automatic movement highlights to me that they have become, at heart, focused on sport watches. It’s a great dial, in my opinion, but the dimensions and movement seem inconsistent with a vintage chronograph. I guess that’s why I g...
