Just got my first Audemars Piquet. So far liking it a lot. Only thing about the watch I don't like is the double fold clasp. It's difficult to undo and pinches my wrist some times.

It has the newer 3126/3840 movement. Anybody know why AP made this movement with 3Hz frequency instead of the old 2326/2840 movement's 4Hz? Doesn't this sacrifice accuracy for the sake of longer reserve power?

That dial is sooooooo nice. Waffle goodness.

Playing around with my camera to capture some of the details. I like the polished edge to contrast against overall brushed finish.

cwwhk · 14 February 2011, 03:23 AM

I have read some people don't like the sunken look of the date window with internal cyclops, but I rather like it. Much cleaner look than cyclops on the crystal.

cwwhk · 14 February 2011, 03:27 AM

I wish AP had rounded the inside edge of the clasp so it does not dig into my wrist some times.

TSW · 14 February 2011, 03:56 AM

Awsome pics buddy

Just curious, did it say 3126 on the paperwork? I haven't seen a blue-dialed Themes with this movement. Must be the last of the production. Beautiful watch!

Thanks. Yes paperwork says ref 26170ST and 3126 movement. It was an impulse buy when I went to get a Sub C LV. So later when I did a bit of research on AP ROO it confused me because on the official web site it shows the blue Themes with the old ref 25721ST and 2326 movement. So I guess my watch must be from the last batch. It's a shame AP discontinued the blue Themes for 2011 as I really like it.

Strange how the dial makes or breaks a watch. I never lusted after the other ROOs I have seen before, but this one was love at first sight.

dddrees · 19 February 2011, 09:16 PM

Very nice, and Great PICs.
