☠️ Official Openworked Appreciation Thread ☠️

Not going to limit this to any specific AP reference as without a shadow of doubt they make some of the best openworked pieces out there...

Show us your hand finished works of art!

Beautiful!

I feel that this ST version is even harder to get than the OR version, with a longer waiting time.

A few more models, AD lighting isn’t the best at times but none the less beautiful pieces

Thank you, consider my camera skills amateur at best but working at it!

Must say it’s got to be the hardest watch I’ve had to capture, trying to get the movement to not look washed out and a decent amount of contrast all while avoiding crystal reflections is challenging.

Not much difference between Rolex and AP? Do these people mean in the same way there’s not much difference between a BMW and a Ferrari?

TBH I’ve not gone over the whole of that topic, sure it’s on the Daytona Vs Royal Oak one?

Anyways I do find people can get very defensive of a brand they hold close to their heart, I get that but in my mind you can’t compare AP to Rolex really!

I have both and will continue to but the answer to which is better will be down to the question asked.

Will add though if I was asked which brand I prefer it’s AP without a shadow of doubt but thats my personal choice.

For me, if compare finishing, there is no comparison between AP and Rolex. AP is in another league altogether.

What a great thread. What are the wrist sizes sporting 15407, 15305 and 25829? I have a 7.25 wrist and curious if 15407 or 15305 is a better fit..
