Adding a review: Had a quick visit at the Zuerich AP house yesterday. Gigantic and very impressive space in a former bank office in the heart of Zuerich. While my initial email contact was met with a somewhat Germanic level of politeness, the visit itself couldn't have been better (other than maybe having more unusual demo models available). It's interesting that the demo model selection is really pretty uniform across all the European and US boutiques. It's mostly in the Asian boutiques I have seen a large variety of limited editions and high end models.

Had a very pleasant chat with a friendly SA, a water and some chocolate, and confirmed that the steel bracelet from the 42mm ROO does not fit the Diver. The quick change mechanism looks like it almost matches, but in the end doesn't latch. Disappointing, as I would immediately jump on a green Diver with the bracelet (AP, are you listening?).

If you are wondering why the QP doubled in price over the last years, look no further than the $60k wallpaper in the Zuerich house bathroom
