Congratulations.Enjoy.
For the past fortnight I’ve been wearing my everyday, as my office watch, and loving it more each day.
PS love your photos, much better than my poor efforts.

Just curious how you make your photographs. Mine are not good compared to yours. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guys, i wonder if i am the only one but.....

I see these be-a-utiful watches coming to the forum, and I am getting frustrated!!!
The weekly is my grail watch.

I really am glad for the guys getting the watches and hope they wear and enjoy them in good health but I do not think that I will ever will be able to buy this watch.

My relationship with both local dealers (The Hague and Amsterdam) is not good enough to get me higher up the waiting list anytime soon. The pre-owned market is so hyped the last year and the watch is so special that buying it pre-owned is a fantasy. The two Weeklys that did hit the market had a price tag of 80K+ in euro (90K US) and that is out of my reach. Also, I do not see the market slowing down coming years or some forummember here giving up his calatrava at msrp :P

Am I looking at this to negative? Am I the only one getting frustrated?

Its just being delivered. In a year or so you might be able to get one at retail. Anything new in SS from PP is crazy but I think this one will settle down at some point. Still a dress watch on a strap in spite of its complication. Market demand is SS sports. We will have to wait and see.

Who is this masked man?!!! 4th post and he’s the “weekly” monitor police! I jest!


In all seriousness, thanks. I hadn’t worn it for a few weeks and in a rush, I set it last night (a guess at the week, a stab in the dark). What source do you use to know the week?

AP's PC interactive user guide is a good source to use. Though AP PC does not have week 53, the dial stays at week 1 for 2 weeks the the next year to compensate for that.

Congrats! Big big fan. Something about it seems really fun while insanely practical. I'm hoping to just see one in person at my AD later this year, even though I'm not a buyer...yet.

Well it is a lovely piece and wears well so as always it will depend on supply and demand. Interesting only one piece on Chrono24 which I hope means owners are actually enjoying the piece.
