My AP just ticks and does nothing interesting?

What do I need? I am not satisfied.

Nope not a chrono. I need action. I need a skeletonized double split or a blancpain carousel tourbillon. AP doesnt do it for me anymore. Its like chasing the first high you get after doing your first hit of drugs. Not interesting enough.

How about a Richard Mille? That outta break the bank

If you don't like your AP sell it and try a different brand or watch!

OK. So everything in this forum must be positive. Got it. Very healthy.

Doesn't always have to be positive, but I'm not quite getting the point of this thread.. You looking for advice or input? Or you just want to vent your frustration because you can't afford the highly complicated skeletonized $200k watch?

Nope, some members can be a little prickly when it comes to slating their preferred brands.
You don’t need 200K to have a play with the complications that bring more excitement for your viewing pleasure.

That’s not all – far from it – there’s loads more to look at and research interesting ones further.

most of your posts are on two topics. This thread and Patek. How about more threads about what you like. Otherwise you look like a troll

You get a pass on the Hublot comment though

This should be interesting enough...can’t really be appreciated unless it’s seen in motion.

You're talking about a feeling that's hard, if not downright impossible, to capture. It's hard to keep going up and up when prices do the same. Recall what got you into watches in the first place, and if that love is still there, you might rekindle something.

And before anyone even suggests it… motorboating a pair of Datographs would just be wrong on so many levels!
