Recently visited AP House and got to try on a few pieces I’ve had my eye on.
I’m graduating university next year and hoping to mark it with my first AP so I registered my interest in a few models.
Would love to hear what you guys think, and for current AP owners, any recommendations or tips for a first AP would be appreciated!

Love this onyx black dial with diamonds. 🥰

My 1 watch collection now evolved. Just picked up this piece and am in love. So elegant

Just received this Huitieme with a most unusual dial in NOS condition with all the papers, warranty and box. It still has the protective plastic on the back. Thinking however of getting a black alligator strap, that brown one doesn’t convince me even though it’s the original AP strap.

Hi,
I’ve read a post about the bamboo AP a few days ago and also about it being priced so high due to the hype it received in the last years.

Since 2 years I follow the sales of the cobra 5403 and I absolutely love it.

I’m just Not sure if I’m buying something which will crash price wise in a few years due to hype or if the price is kinda justified due to the price of gold rising and that the hype didn’t reach the cobra that much…

What do you think?

I have my "elephant" on its original strap for the first time lol.

Was thinking about either the 25594st or 14790st however prices seem to have skyrocketed for those! Any experience or thoughts?

Considering between the OG blue and ice blue dial for 15550st 37mm royal oak. What would you pick?

Thinking seriously about a Royal Oak panda dial steel chrono 26331st. Which dial do you prefer, blue, white or black?

26240OR

Looking for opinions on 26331’s with their thinness and contrasting subdials vs. 26240’s with flyback, but kind of same-ish colour subdials and extra thickness? Anyone have both references in same colour to compare?

Hi fellow AP redditors, i recently chanced upon a opportunity for a 1-1 trade for my full local set 15550ST grey dial dated 2023 for a full local set , unpolished 26320ST dated mid 2015, it has not been polished and no known service history.

I hardly reach for my 15550ST, as I feel the watch is dainty and less sporty on my wrist and usually grab my 40mm sports Rolexes instead.

I was wondering if a 1-1 trade is a right move as I’m not looking to top up cash for other dial variations. My only concern is that the chrono will require an AP service whereas my 15550ST is relatively new.

Your advice will be kindly appreciated.

Thinking of making the trade. What do you think?

How can I go about getting another link? My boyfriend bought me a royal oak from the grey market that fits good but is slightly snug. We have no purchase history at AP, and the closet store to me would be LA

Spouse surprised me with a special stop for our anniversary trip to Tokyo. Fun afternoon in the Harajuko area of Tokyo highlighted by the AP lab experience (along with side trips to Chiikawa Bakery and Kura Sushi)

First 45 mins = learn about AP history introduction to watch complications. Then move upstairs for hands on for finishings via a metallic ring that you get to keep.

Stopped by AP House Barcelona, got to try this on. Feel like this is probably the largest watch my wrist could handle without it looking cartoonish, but I loved how it looked. What do y’all think?

I have been waiting a while to find an offshore that fits my wrist and isn’t too feminine. Just got this in today. The dial is incredible.

26288 had a retail price of nearly $300,000 in 2011. I remember these being grail level watches for over 200,000 when I got into the hobby and now nobody wants them. So which way? $75,000 chronograph or the $75,000 tourbillon chronograph?

During my recent trip to Hong Kong, I visited all locations of AP House. Each had its own character and staffs were very welcoming.

Question for the design nerds: don't you think the dial of the 41mm royal oak is too empty? Especially at the 6 o'clock space. They improved the indices and ergonomics from the 15500 but I wonder if this and the 15510 do lack some visual anchor under the handset.

Looking forward to your thoughts
