Hi guys,
Searched the forum for some pics of this AP model, but no luck. Anybody has one? Experiences and pics would be greatly appreciated.
Thx

Attached a pic (because we love them :) from Luxist web site.

There doesn't seem to be much love for this model to be honest - but I love it.

Passionata · 15 May 2013, 04:36 AM

Very nice piece

Best

Have you tried : chrono24 ?

Griffi · 16 May 2013, 04:52 AM

Chrono site has some pics but was looking for experiences and wrist shots from forum members, not a preferred model I guess :(

psv · 16 May 2013, 04:54 AM

I quite like it, but it is not an overly popular model or hot seller. Most people prefer the classic models.

00pumpkin · 16 May 2013, 06:38 AM

I'm not a fan of the two subdials for a DD function. I much prefer a date window and the day written out in another window. Now, the DD moonphase is a different story.

I absolutely love the watch. I have never seen it in real life however. Funny that I only see the same pic recurring, which is exactly the one you have posted. I believe there are a few extra pics laying around on TZ that I came across a while back.

I love the round displays, and the idea of the function as well; after trying the 15400 and 41mm Chronos, I just cannot commit to the idea of a 39 DD unless I learn whether or not AP will go on to do it in 41. Common sense says they would.

To me, the 39mm chronos are nicer.
But the H&Ms, i.e. 15300 vs 15400, I would go with 41.
Thus the Day Date, and probably a Dual Time, will be very interesting in 41.

-Unless of course they make the Skeleton in 41, we can all go home then haha!-

PS: By the way the DD seems to be priced at a very reasonable, for AP's quality and the function, price. Seems to start around $13.5 before negotiations.

Griffi · 17 May 2013, 12:31 PM

Thx for replies guys.
Do you guys think that because of the case design, even a 39mm sits like a 42-43 mm watch?

Griffi · 26 May 2013, 06:58 AM

Well here it is :)

goog53 · 27 May 2013, 01:09 AM

Unique and Very Cool! Enjoy and wear in good health

My sentiments exactly, although at 36mm, many feel the watch is too small. Yeah, maybe. I still love it. My wrist is 7.5"

And to me, it wears like a 36mm, no optical illusions here. I admit, I still love an old Datejust. And among a few vintage pieces I have, 34mm-35mm are looking good to me too.

Nope. Not mine. Sold 2003, likely one of the last before the Bigger Is Better Fever struck.

mad_1974 · 27 May 2013, 09:17 AM

It's a really great watch. It came out in 2010. The only bummer is you can't see the movement through the case back. A TRF seller had one on the site no long ago.

jonnyz1245 · 27 May 2013, 09:37 AM

cool watch and something not seen to often.

Congrats and enjoy

Griffi · 27 May 2013, 09:41 AM

It is a 39 mm watch, but due to case and bracelet design it sits "not small" by todays standarts.

Changing day and date is just crazy though, you have to go back and forth between 21:30 and 2:00 to change both at the same time and only to 00:10 to change date. Basically not the most user friendly setup.

But love the watch, you do not see it that often...

You never see it! Period. LOL. Enjoy it. Love those pics.

mdoc52 · 18 June 2013, 12:08 PM

I was beginning to think I was the only person who owned one. I really love it. Definitely uncommon, which I also like. Setting it is a pain but hey.

Congrats on your great acquisition! Wear in good health!
