I wish you guys were in NYC right now. You AP gurus would be losing your minds right now! Thomas I was just chopping it up with your boy Mr. Francois-Henry Bennahamias discussing the elusive Jay-Z piece we discussed

Some additional pics from tonight... Was pretty cool rubbing elbows with some watch enthusiast. I didn't stay long enough to get the free Hodinkee swag, however, it was a nice time out...

I'm sure this would be a great night out Sam, and if I were local, I'd be there!
Thanks for posting a special event that I'm sure many would wish to attend.

Sharing an appreciation of watches with like minded folk is/and has been in my experience, always a time to remember!

Hahahaha! You told me to ask them, I just happened to be chatting with Francois when I received your text. When he got off the phone with you he said what you have is still a piece of AP history.

That would have been surreal if you were there sir and no worries about sharing, I would have posted more pics of the timepieces, however, my mobile phone camera was not cooperating with the special lighting...

HAGWE everyone!
