I stumbled across this photo earlier of my old office. I bought my first AP in 2001, a silver rubberlcad. I could not imagine how many AP logos are throughout my house, whether they be on a watch or a book or a clock or a shirt or.... its a lot. Been a fun ride, and I always dream of my next AP.

This is a great question, Cap.

I am on the 15202 WG list, but who knows if or when that ever happens. Maybe a steel perpetual Royal Oak, maybe a if a new dial comes along that excites me. I really want that case in my collection.

Incredible story!!

I still recall when I purchased my first AP - a Chrono Steel Offshore in 2003 - trying to differentiate myself over many of the Daytona owners Spent a good amount of money refinishing and servicing it and then exited it after some sticker shock! Then afterwards went through waves of excitement when audacity kicked in the collection (carbon fiber and F1 and full ceramic) and exited when a little too much commercialisation came in (special editions with different colour palettes). Have you experie

Yes, I definitely had cycles like that.

The 15202ST proved to be then killer of AP for me. So simple, so perfect. Having recently acquired a full ceramic GP skeleton watch, I would die for a full ceramic AP perpetual... but wow, they highly value this material! Am little steep for me.
