My one and only AP

Frankly I can’t think of another model AP I would buy after owning this. Which other AP sports watch could come close? Tough act to follow or is there another AP I should be looking at?

Once you find the right one, it’s enough

Looks really great

That is indeed a strong contender! AP would have to unseat the watch itself with the next model and equal sized sub dials (and a next future future watch to bring the thin-ness back, lol).

I agree it hits all the marks, especially the panda. Hard to beat for the price and definitely a keeper! I prefer the 26331 over the newer model. The subdials and date window on the 26331 are better placed and it is thinner.

Panda is great! If I had to make a choice, I'd keep it over my 15500 grey dial. Panda + 15407 would be my ultimate steel chrono/three-hander RO collection for me (for the Jumbo I'll see what the 50th anniversary brings).

I’m waiting on my panda from the NYC boutique and can’t wait to get that call.
Absolutely gorgeous piece, enjoy it!!
