The AP Barn Find

It's not often that I go to estate sales for watch hunting. I'm not much of a vintage guy and my knowledge of what's worth taking a risk on and what's not is mediocre at best.

But on a quiet and sunny Sunday afternoon, I passed a big house with an estate sale sign outside and decided to pop my head in. Sometimes you can surprise yourself.

Behold, the Audemars Piguet Barn Find in black ceramic and gold.

You may now express your jealousy.

😂

That is all.

I wonder what smells better "Audemars Piguet Bougie Parfumee" or Eau de Omega?

It oozes through from my phone to yours 😂

You realize now that you have forever foreclosed my chance of getting an AP. That was my shot. 😭

Well, an AP is an AP

·

Smells like “wealth”!

Ooh, very fancy, I love it!

·

The Horological Society of New York has a signature scent now too. What does time smell like?

I felt for you. Not much but there was a pang.

This felt like a giveaway with a watch purchase from the AD. The question is....where's the watch that came with the candle.l?

If I were a more devious person (and this was 2021), I would 100% seen just how much money I could have extracted from someone for an AP candle.

Smell like Genius Gerald Genta has got to appeal to someone.

One of the wealthiest individuals I know, smells strongly of leather, Old Spice and a distinct undertone of Cope wintergreen 😂.

Oilfield/rancher/wind energy/been-there-done-it type. Only AP I've seen out in the wild too.

Bought it for fun when he visited NYC once. Never asked how he did that, next time we have coffee I might see what the story is. I'm guessing at a certain net worth, most don't say no to you.

Dailies his SKX009 on an aftermarket jubilee, and will talk your ear off about obscure Seiko SQ references he should have bought when he was stationed in Japan 😂.

That’s awesome. I hope one day to smell of leather and old spice. 🍻

But does it smell as good as it looks? 😂

Better.

But nowhere good as the vibes it gives off, reminding you that you are actually a person of incredibly discerning taste and class.

Well played! Not what I was expecting.
