How many APs still remains in your collection?

Hi all, long time lurker here but just registered as a member. I'm a huge fan of AP and I understand buying/selling/consolidating our collection is a norm. So wondering how many APs still remains in your current collection?

I love my APs. Hoping to add one more this year. Not letting any go. They’re my favorites by far.

AP is by far my favorite watch brand. When I got my first one I also had 5 Rolexes.
I currently have 3 APs and 2 Rolexes. I am planning to buy more APs and potentially exit Rolex.

Not sold an AP and can’t see me selling one. I guess tastes change - Rolexes are what got me into watches, but I rarely wear one now. Not bought one for two years.

Same boat here. Rolexes got me into the hobby, but I rarely wear them now. Last Rolex purchase for myself was almost 2 years ago.


For the OP's question, 10 AP's currently in the collection including the wifey's.

I’ve never owned one, and it doesn’t help that they don’t have a boutique in Canada

This would be a nice pic

For some reason, I consider APs the most fun to wear. It’s hard to explain, because I can make the case a Swatch is fun too; but as a luxury brand with a notable history, they are daring and unique too, which is part of the fun. Subjective opinion of course.

Think can only do it with a collage. Looking forward to your picture of the full collection.

Went from 4 to 2. Don’t plan to subtract, don’t really plan to add either. Wife is at one and may add.

Got 20 pieces from AP House from 2020-2022 and happily sold 18 of them. Not a single regret.

Only 26622ti and 15551or blue but I will get rid of them eventually. I will replace with 16202or or 16202xt. And that’s pretty much it for my AP journey.

Only 1/3 of them got registered. I just monitor it closely and register it back every time. AP can still look into details and check it. Luckily, I didn't really get banned. Too pitiful that I sold 15202st way too early before its peak around Feb 2022. Otherwise, great profit for quite a number of watches.

26240st green - 225k
15407or - 270k
15416ce - 250k
15600ce - 95k
