Nice setting. Makes me want to go back to NYC...... I agree that Jules Audemars line should not be missed or dismissed because generally I like them more than ROO line... Will report if/when similar event are to be held in Tokyo. Thanks again. Ken

I must have just missed you, and sorry I did. Thank you very much for the report, and I hope all is well!

all is well, I hope the same for you. When I arrived Rick said that you had just left. We must have missed each other by a few minutes! There is always the next time.......God willing! Tony

Thanks for posting the photos and commentary on the event. I really love the photos of the 15300's movement. So nice to see it naked. respo

the 15300 movement looked outside of the case as well. It certainly was a nice treat when the watchmaker allowed me to photograph his work. I was fortunate enough to have nice lighting under his bench when I took those shots considering how dark the rest ... 

What a great time Tony. The food, watches, friends, guests and the information learned was just incredible. The AP staff couldn't have been nicer. François, the ever gracious host, was great as usual (although I'm still convinced he owes us a shot at $50k... 

nice seeing you there! I do agree with you, it is certainly a much nicer experience walking into a retail store and feeling like your welcomed. Tony

Love the naked movement shots. Both RO QP look stunning. Thanks for sharing. Best, Goh
