Grateful to be allocated one. Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

I was lucky to see one in the metal as a friend of mine is a lucky owner of this model too (he will most probably chime in with a pic soon here ) and WOW damn awesome!

Thanks Mike! I was indeed lucky to be allocated one. Will be treasured.

Thanks Raymond. I am with you.

Demand for some of these watches is way more than what manufacturers can/want to produce and are able to meaningfully allocate. Unlike wine - supply naturally limited - watches are man-made and we can also argue that supply is controlled, resulting in fal...

Francois Bennahmias has been nothing short of phenomenal as AP's CEO.

Always a pleasure brother 🙏
