Audemars Piguet

Because if you buy an AP....why not this one??...  

:-0 oh lord what have I started with.... Mission impossible?

13's the number. 13. Lucky 13.

Have you seen it in person and tried it on? A big contrast to the wear anywhere, do anything 15202.

Would love to see it live some day. And I will agree with you on the size of the 15202ST. It\'s more or less perfect. The design of the Royal Oak is killer. However I\'m not so sure about swimming with it and setting the time/date or simply winding it suc...

With some modifications ..... Quit stunning. ...  

Enough to sell my 15202? Probably not. But, if this AP is more your style,I say go for it!

but I do like that it\'s not a RO(O). Don\'t get me wrong; I love that design! Not only for what it all stands for but its just a beautifully made thing (bracelet/case/dial). This Tradition however (now) stands out because not being a RO(O)-model. But as ...  

And none are octagonal. Unfortunately, the only ones I can afford are octagonal! My favorite case from Audemars Piguet is the Millenary. Without exception. Here is a favorite I know you will enjoy as well: ...
