Some quarters see AP as a one-trick pony, with nothing much else to show for outside of the RO.

And with the RO being such an antiquated and divisive design, it seems to be only a matter of time before it dies off.

You say that, but I think their skin tone really goes well with yellow gold.
We used to see Usain Bolt here during Melbourne Cup period, and he'd always be dressed super sharp with a yellow gold watch and a white suit.

Cannot buy new watch, new strap pun jadi la

I have a strap otw too, hopefully next week can reach.

New year, new round of price increase by AP.

Wonder who's next in line.

Hot damn that gold variant.

Before news of the 1861s discontinuation, 20% off was sort of the ballpark.

With this new variant, I'm guessing it'll start around 5-10%, to be adjusted depending on how demand pans out over the years?

With the 1861, you've got to remember that it's essentially the same watch that has been on the market for 10+ years.

Just realised they finally updated the millisecond markers to match the movement bph.

Was wondering why it felt a bit bare.

One of my favourite takes on the travel time complication.

Nice to see something different in the case for once.

Why not add a new box?

"Oh honey, look at all these empty slots."

New year, new shoes.

Thanks

Been wanting a sailcloth strap for some time now.
The iwc was previously on a leather strap and didn't wear it much - should see more sunlight now!

I bought it from some shop near Chinatown back in the days.

You can probably get it online easily these days - it's a Bergeon 6767F.

I've thought long about this one. Really like the thinness (I'm looking for a <10mm 3-hander), but probably feels a touch too futuristic for my tastes.

Also not cheap anymore these days!
Plus servicing was one of my concerns with these indie brands.

Absolutely haram

As a pleb, I can assure you the experience is consistent between both Rolex and Hermes

Gents, nobody put gun on your head ask you buy Rolex. You're free to vote with your feet. Plenty of other fish in the sea.

But if you die die also want to buy Rolex, unfortunately it is what it is. Hype begets hype. No need to hate on the salespeople who are only doing their job.

Kantoi already this brother

It takes a special kind of collector to pony up the dosh for an EW.

Got an incoming on the way, hopefully parcel doesn't get pinched.
