Reflections on AP - photo thread
One of the things I like the most about AP finishing is the ability of it to reflect the ambient light and environment off its many polished surfaces. Each time I look at it, it shows a unique picture back.

A few pics to show the effect I mean.

Off the sapphire yes, but the case detailing probably not! If you have some photos would be great to see.

I will admit, I am a huge fan of the watch design !

I think it’s a double reflection somehow distorted by the embedded cyclops, a very cool visual effect.

Here's my two 42s..love the design..but finishing wise and the ability to reflect light, it's ain't really much above other premium watch brand.

Perfect how the different angles catch multiple light effects

As Henry Ford said - whether you think you can, or think you can’t. You’re right.

I think you will !
