However, generally of late there's been fewer releases that appeal to me and I am concerned (for my taste anyway) the direction the brand is going.

Chris you’ve got some killer pieces so it’s only natural that less new releases will appeal since you’ve already got the best of what has previously been available.

+1 Couldn't agree more

I have this patek and it's amazing...little hard to read the time for my eyes but it's a stunner

+1 again, My perpetual calendars are the only AP's I kept in my collection and IMO one of the best watches in production for the money. I've been put off by their latest releases and all their camo nonsense so my interest in the brand has also gone down significantly.

I think we can all agree whoever is approving the names for these new releases should be taken out behind the shed and hit with a shovel.

You should easily be able to bundle this with something really nice.. the harsh discount is almost heartbreaking on the secondary market ... such a cool watch

There’s only one Patek AD that I have a relationship with and they’ve already promised me a 5726, is that what you mean by something really nice? In the near future I honestly don’t think I want/need any more Pateks beyond that even though there are others that I really like.

Feel the same. My favorite dial for sure.

Wonder if at some point down the road the Hong Kong dials will be at a premium?

I really like it at about half the price.

Interesting idea but don’t like the color scheme. The two tone looks old fashioned.

[KJBrandal]

I guess to everyone their own, id much rather have a Royal Oak or Code Chrono

[Ichiran]

To be fair, I would need to see an actual piece in the metal to comment.
