looks excellent (and much better than APs stock pictures).

Congrats bro. Share some pics when it’s on the wrist.

Congrats, the dial does indeed seem to glow from within.

Checked out all except the grey dial 43 yesterday.
The RG is a beauty but the smoked dial / taupe is the pick of the lot IMO. It’s a beautiful dial which has so much depth as compared to the others. Looks brilliant in the sunlight. The black strap may look even better than the one which comes installed. Very tempted.

Wow...thought these were coming out in Sept. Congrats!
Wish they have an all-ceramic 43. |

Indeed. Perhaps they caught up after the pandemic production delays last year.
So... No excuses, AP. Get things cranking out, please! You're leaving far too much money on the table. |

Just visited the boutique here in HK and tried the smoked dial iteration:
Unfortunately I was not allowed to remove the plastic protector. The thickness however is something I have to get used to. Next to my 15500 |

SA tells me it’s very similar to the 44mm titanium grey dial and blue subdial version.

The ‘watch condom’ sure is irritating. Tough to see with that thick plastic on.

When AP makes another forged carbon offshore I'll sell my ROO to get one.
So far the only ROO I like is the new tourbillon one. Alas it has to be over 200k...... I'm not sure why that one is more expensive than the concept black panther. That is ridiculous to me. |

It’s because it’s a Tourbillon Chrono whereas the BP Concept was only a Tourbillon. AP time only tourbs usually run between 150-200 depending on the model and materials, whereas Tourbillon Chronos always 250+ |

The fumed dial is getting a lot of attention.. But it’s the titanium bezel 26420ti which really speaks to me. Decided and put down my deposit. Now it’s just one call away …

AP New 43 Royal Oak Offshore
I’d go so far as to say that 99% of the members on this forum who’ve been posting here for 5 years or more buy watches for the enjoyment of the watch, not because they see it as an investment. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’ve always noticed with this sub section of the forum how in the main it’s all about AP and the watches themselves, not prices. On many watch forums and especially Rolex FB pages the majority of questions seem to be ‘what’s the best watch investment?’ or the even worse question of ‘should I buy this watch?’ Frustrating how the watch market has gone. |

I’ve seen a few of the above light brown/smoked dials on various forums now but not seen a blue, grey or black dial. Has anyone got one yet?

Supposedly there should be a 'Be Yourself' release from June/July, so that may shake things up a bit too, perhaps with some more vibrant colours. If that happens then I'll definitely make a trip to AP House for a viewing. |
