It is difficult to judge the quality of finishing from photos
Don't get me wrong, your photos are great. But is the level of movement finishing here the same as say the Parmigiani openworked watch? Honestly, I don't think so. I had that watch in my hands a few months ago and was blown away. Maybe not a fair comparison given the production numbers (Parmigiani producing so few watches in a year compared to AP).
Personally, I have never bought an AP for the level of movement finish. Case finish, yes. The first time I held a Royal Oak in my hand and studied the incredible lines and finishes, I was utterly seduced (that is an hommage to a dear member we don't see here these days, but established PuristS know this X Man!). But movement finishing, not as much.
These pieces are tremendous and can be well enjoyed for what they are. Technology with the Double Balance, phenomenal openworking and design on both.
