Very good Hal! Been there a couple of times and the service is second to none and very very friendly. You definitely captured the spirit.
The gent in the pictures sized my bracelet and he did a superb job indeed!

Hal the store looks beautiful! Amazing pieces in the pictorial--love that 26510ST!

I could see how one would feel quite amazing walking out of the AP Boutique with their purchase in hand...now if I could just come to paying retail

Thanks for posting. Absolutely love your blog.
The Royal Oak Extra-Thin Tourbillon is probably the most beautiful watch I've ever seen. Simple, elegant and complicated.

Great pics, as always, Hal. Thanks for sharing. AP gtg in Miami. That couldn't possibly be trouble, could it?

A great review and photos I feel I have missed out having never been to an AP boutique, something I will have to rectify

Awesome pics! I missed the opening by a day last month because they had some renovation delays... These pics make me want to go back!

The guy in the pics looks like the one who helped me with my short strap :).

Actually that's my background. I've been working in advertising and marketing for 18 years and editorial/publishing is now my passion. Wasn't really trying to sell anything, just sharing my passion on how I see horology and brands.
