I prefer the perpetual calendar 11.59.

Got mine today! It's stunning. The detail of the case, intricacies of the polishing, the smoked blue dial and double alligator strap. It can dress up or down and is super modern.

I think they're attractive, but I'm not a dress watch guy. My "dressiest" watch is an older platinum dial Yachtmaster. That said, the 11.59 is somewhat sporty for a dress watch & I do like the looks of the perpetual, although I'd still probably choose another maker if I were to get a dress watch.

I think what makes it great is that you can dress down or up. Wearing with a Tshirt now and looks great. Wore it earlier with a suit and also looked great.

Congrats! Looks great on your wrist.
Love this also with the Kevlar straps, you may want to check those for an even more sporty look

Thanks! Kevlar strap is definitely on my list when I hit the boutique up again. They had none in stock today.

I think the code is pretty nice. But i wouldn't drop that amount of cash for an overall ordinary watch.

I am a fan.
Here is my second Code. It is not your typical AP experience.
But I do think it is a very classy dress watch.

At the price point, there are many great options. For that, I would look at pre owned for some value. My two cents

Even with the new dial colours, it’s still an ugly watch.

Soooo many other superb choices for a dress watch.

I would not say it’s ugly.
Just that to some user, the lugs is like over hang and not hugging the wrist nicely .

It’s a great watch case imho

Purple is heat but IMO you need the chrono for it to look less like a department store s

I think they did a great job with the movement, the case and the domed crystal but the dial IMO looks very cheap, in the first models at least, like a fashion brand watch. I dont like the numbers, but I hope they fix the dial in the future.

I’ve been strongly contemplating the red time only, ever since I saw it at the boutique a few months ago. Just waiting for a different piece to come in and then I’ll scoop one up.

I think it is a lovely watch, have seen it in Dallas and NYC (both great stores and staff). It is a bit too thick for me as a dress watch. On the other hand, it is a bit unconventional for a dress watch, so maybe more fun.

Good luck, Frank

Can't really get into it vs what's available from the competition at that price point. I'd take a Saxonia from ALS all day.

I love this watch especially in chronograph. The only con to this watch is the 4:30 date window, my opinion is that breaks up the symmetry of the watch. If a watch has a date I prefer it to be 3, 6, top center maybe even 9 o clock. Overall it is a beautiful piece with excellent craftsmanship.
