I've had my share of issues with AP in the past, but this is one I couldn't pass up. I saw my main man Takuya had one in his inventory and couldn't pass it up. The condition is amazing and still under warranty. Thanh Do even threw in this awesome hat

This is a watch I've always wanted and as most of you know, it's not really that easy to get. I am absolutely thrilled with it. I was honestly not very happy with the SS Diver when I owned it (briefly) so I had some reservations, but I have to say, IMO this watch is on a different level.

Side Note: not the easiest watch to photograph, it's much much better in person.

Enjoy!

That's a great pick up. Very hard to find these days. Love the way AP does ceramic.

AK797 · 11 February 2018, 11:55 AM

Excellent pick up and that cap's a tough one to pull off outside of Miami Beach but you've got the right watch for it.

HK Islandboy · 11 February 2018, 12:08 PM

Congratulations! I absolutely love mine.

None of these have popped up for the past 6 months or so and I’m delighted to hear that a forum member picked this one up when it appeared.

Wear it in great health!

HK Islandboy · 11 February 2018, 01:23 PM

You’ve inspired me to wear mine today. Doing a bit of sock matching....

underpar31009 · 11 February 2018, 01:35 PM

The orange is amazing. Usually not my thing, to add in such a loud color, but it's executed perfectly in this case.

I'm pretty sure I have no business wearing this hat anywhere in the world, but yes, Miami Beach would be a good place to try it. Thank you my friend!

I really appreciate it that, thank you! I know it shouldn't matter that much, but landing a rare piece is always a nice cherry on top.

I think i'd have to agree. There are definitely some chorographs that are absolutely beautiful, but the diver is a better watch for me. Ceramic sets it off though for sure.

Bold statement. I can't concur YET, but this is definitely in the running.

Thank you very much! Been wanting this watch for a while, for sure. I will put something together in the next few days. I had to make a huge sacrifice in my collection to pull this off actually. So I lost a heavy hitter in my WG Daytona, but it's a watch I can always get back. This opportunity doesn't always come up on the other hand. Will get a pic together soon.
