My AD came through
After 8 years 3 months and 8 days it finally arrived. Caught the moment when I have removed all of the stickers from the watch. ...
obviously you have to like the new iteration
as much as the previous one that you had ordered! where do you stand? IMO the new one is way superior, more refined
Fortunately, there are those who do not follow marketing
Unfortunately The White Dial is a bad copy of the discontinued. The serious thing is that I'm not the only one who thinks so. In fact, on the gray market, the rare discontinued pieces, full stickers full set, cost much more than the new models, much more....
can you elaborate? I am curious
let's put aside the APH versions and other 'specials' . I think there is a wide consensus that the updated version is superior aesthetically due to thinner sub dials, successful steel ring to the bezel etc the only downside I can see is the case profile t...
ok Big Guy, you got me
I only collect watches for 40 years and was actually laughing at the APH thing. sorry you missed my sarcasm
Big congrats on your new arrival. By coincidence I´m wearing mine along this week and weekend. I liked more the new version 126500 specially for its thinner ceramic bezel with steel surround.
I wish you´ll enjoy it so much and you feel that the long wait was well worth it. Best cordial regards, Abel ...
I went to
AD soon after the 116500 was introduced and got my name on the list in little notebook.
Congratulations, that's great.
I have to say that 8 years is nuts. My graduate degree(s) didn't even take that long and I thought those were a long wait. You have far more patience than I; that's rather admirable.
Congratulations!
Nice to know that some of us are as patient as you and even nicer that you have been rewarded for it. Enjoy the beauty in best of health.
Firsts: Congratulations and great show of patience
8 years. Wow! And were you in staying touch with the AD all those years? When you ordered, you assumed that you would get the 116500, and instead got the 126500. I am glad that you are happier with the newer one, and that's what matters. Wear it in good h...
I stayed in touch and got several other models to keep me occupied
Throughout the years. The culmination is this beauty. ...
Congratulations! Great score.
Wore mine yesterday and agree it’s much more refined than the previous(owned that also)! ...
Some, I have a tradition, that all my watches have to have the stickers on and I even get the shipping coffin!
They wear off by themselves or I remove them when it’s too ugly )) This one is almost gone except a very few
Congratulations
Lovely watch, I am sure you’ll enjoy it for many more than the 8 years you waited.
