The boutique Manager made a good point that in the long run when the line expands to ADs; the blue will be boutique only so if tied that is the way to go. I also think with how aggressive the side profile and 41mm dial, the white gold is more discrete and elegant.

I will admit; the blue is ugly in photos and with shrink wrap on it. It does look amazing in the flesh. I think the special concave glass really doesn’t help with angles.

Also had a chance to play with a life size AP movement - so much fun and folks the rotor isn’t all gold (I asked). Also tried on a random diver: yeah 42mm offshore too big.

Like you said above, the Code 11.59 looks much better in person. The 11.59 does not photograph well at all. I would suggest anyone trying it on at the boutique to step outside or near the window in order to explore the watch with natural light. It does look different under natural light, at least the legibility or the rose gold with black dial.

Saw it in the flesh today. Blue chrono is the best of the bunch and doesn't look too bad. Movement is awesome, can't wait for it to appear in the RO chrono. Its the 3 handers that look too plain and the marketing too pushy, its getting a negative reaction from people.

If AP do this with a blue panda dial I’ll definitely buy one.
