Hi AP fans, I was like a kid in candy store when I visited the boutique !
Stylish for sure 50th anniversary The black ceramic RO chrono (26240CE) was a big (and pleasant) surprise to see in the metal. Very powerful looking and is a statement piece. Vincent (sales manager for the boutique) reminded me that each AP ceramic watch ...
You must be a VIP...
...I was at the AP boutique in Manhattan pre-Covid and they barely gave me the time of day, let alone brought out any watches. Too bad as I really like many of their offerings...
Nowadays an appointment must be booked beforehand.
Often I ride shotgun with my friends who are AP VIPsš
As mentioned in my reply above, I
ride shotgun with AP VIPs so that I can see more APs and drool š¤¤
The black ceramic chrono looks simply ridiculous.
Way too large, way too crude. I donāt know what AP is doing with their rich heritage and first class savoir faireā¦. On a positive note, the Oscar piece looks stunning.
Agreed - and when sales people trot out ābut think about how itās madeā rather than āisnāt it drop dead gorgeousā you know youāre probably not getting something many will appreciateā¦
The Oscar piece is well executed for something that could look trashy.
To clarify, sales manager brought out this watch
and told me this is a newly released and rare piece. I said it looked great ! He then reminded me about one piece of ceramic was used to make it.
FYI, I have a small wrist, hence why this piece looks very big in the photo š¤£
Why do you think this watch is ridiculous and way to crude ?
To me, a watch this size is too large for 90% of all wrists. To make it all black amplifies the size perception further.
The person most likely to buy such a watch is one that probably couldnāt care less about all the AP magic inside but one that screams look at me Iāve got an AP and Iām f***ing important. Sorry for the rant, I donāt mean to be disrespectful to anyone who l...
Exquisite
The code with diamonds is not my style. This being said, I adore the code and it has grown very much on me. I do very much desire one, however first I have to get a 15500 and speaking on Royal Oaks - the PC is just heavenly!
Yes, the PC is special, heft and looks š!
Best of luck with your adventure with the 15500 and hope to see your wrist shots soon šŖ
Appreciate the kind words mate!
Hereās hoping! I mean, they have allocate one for me now - I hope! Anyway, I would drool all over these pieces like a kid in a candy store
That all ceramic ROC looks great!
I always enjoy your boutique visits and photo sets Thank you!
