Recent Mad Prices not just on Watches...

This AP cap sold for $300 in Sep, now they want $600 for this last one. Insania.

I actually like most AP swag. The hats though, i wouldn't pay £10 for one.

I agree, they aren't ideal. I'd prefer it with just a more subtle and design friendly AP logo. Should be dark green with silver logo.

Ha! They’re free if you attend an AP golf day or other AP event. You’d have to be a mug to pay $600 and totally desperate to let everyone know that you like AP.

The caps are awesome and very nice quality as long as you get them for free or for a reasonable price.

Ignore the guys above with all their "issues".

I got one free from a friend. Nice hat. Just AP on the front and Audemars Piguet in smaller font on the back. Navy blue.

Actually asked for one from the NYC boutique when I bought my ROC recently. Didn’t get one. Nada.

I’ve had zilch over the years with Rolex and always wanted one of their rolls, they are nice

AP gave me a nice goodie bag when we had the AP GTG, and a loupe for my birth.

We received this Grand Xoopar Boy at SIHH. I had no idea what it was - but its a bluetooth enabled speaker and is great for playing stuff off the phone. My daughter borrowed it for a party last night and my wife is going to nab it for work next week!

An unusual gift but done with APs usual high level of imagination and presentation (it came in a lovely box).

thats actually very cool. Im a speaker and a general audio snob though, so i doubt i would use it as a speaker. Pretty cool to put on a desk for decoration though.

Much better than the dancing flower circa 1980's

i really hope it was not that nasty dirty one in the waiting room that you kept wanting to steal. Hopefully it was a fresh one.
