That is a gorgeous piece! I haven't seen too many worn APs, and this has so many awesome complications!

commented on Audemars piguet instead of Omega ! ·

Beautiful watch. How does it wear? I've heard so many complaints about the bracelet being uncomfortable and for us guys, catching our arm hairs. How's it working for you?

That watch is stunning! The blue and the complications are my favorite. I'm not surprised that they picked him, either. He's been in the watch scene as genuine collector/enthusiast for a while, and I also like that he wears his watches. And you're right, the vast majority of us will only see this watch via YouTube, but hey, at least we can see it!

That was my first time there. It was nice, but I agree with you. From now on I'm going mostly grey for what I want. I did the whole "AD Experience" with my GMT Master II, and that was jumping through hoops and buying stuff. I understand that brands want you to "buy" in, but this AD nonsense is stupid. I'd still buy from the Omega, Tudor, and Grand Seiko boutiques. If I'm going upstream Rolex +, grey it shall be.

What sort of business are you thinking about creating?

I'd also add something my dad told me. When I was buying my Harley Davidson, I couldn't choose between two similar models. I was looking at it quite analytically which is my natural inclination. He said, "Son, which one will make you smile every time you ride it?" I chose the right one and I did indeed smile for many many years.

Moral of the story, choose the one that makes you smile every time you wear it.
