For what it's worth, I agree but as it's not offered no point in dwelling on it and a frankenwatch would be prohibitively expensive to put together.

List was $50k. I figure the new model will be north of $70k. I may have to pick up a JLC Tourbilllon instead at that price.

Much obliged, Alexander.

Those Royal Oak tourbillons are absolutely awesome. Aesthetically, definitely an improvement on the old bumper automatic Royal Oak tourbillons. These handwind tourbillons look so much better, with the nice, sloping bridges.

Got the price for the Diver today..........roughly 36k where i live ouch

[Yoda]

Thomas, just seen picture above of diver, does it have a ss case back or a blacked out one like on my bee?

That is a non-starter for a 3Hz diver on a rubber strap.

A price hike later this year would be expected.

I am surprised they haven't updated their main in-house movements to 4Hz as most of the industry has.

Hi, the AP AD in Toronto is Royal De Versailles, located in downtown Toronto on Bloor Street. They are quite helpful and salesperson I talked to was passionate about watches, which is always great to see. If you want more info you can email me.

Thanks James! My friend just bought a new submariner from them and also had great things to say about their service and support.

It is "Royal De Versailles", I hear they have a lot in stock

[LAJM]

"La Swiss" in both Montreal and Vancouver also are AP AD. The one in Vancouver a few weeks ago only had blue dial 15300 available but could order in the other two colours.

Hi Larry, Do they stock a lot of AP in the Vancover location?

Thats just a short flight from my town.

[capote]

This is the best looking open worked I have seen. I'm usually not a big fan of this kind of things, but what is not to love on this one?
