I felt the same way until I saw a RO in real life, then I owned one within a few weeks. Amazing amount of hand performed craftsmanship goes into these watches , unlike the machine work done on most modern watches.

I like both brands. Only AP is in different league.

Yes, the video is impressive, but why can't they design a good-looking watch?

30,000+ Platinum Daytonas made last year by Rolex? Exclude the overwhelming seller that is all variant DJ we are left with 400,000 watches. This covers all versions of Sub/SD, GMTc, Daydate I/II, Explorer, Milgauss, Yachtmasters, Skydwellers and the entire Cellini line. We've crunched the numbers on several occasions over the years and the 116520 SS Daytona comes in at around 8-10,000. The ubiquitous SS Subdate would be 30-40,000. Rolex has a fairly wide model range so individual models can easily fall in the sub-10,000 sales p.a. I reckon the "Platona" sales to be in the 3-4,000 volume. Lower than the SS, version, TT version and the WG / YG / RG variants. No fact as such, just logic and reason. |

Why do you always have to bash other brands?

Better yet why troll other forums if you only like Rolex. Look at his signature line. You would think he would stick to Rolex forum only instead of insulting others and acting like a troll.

Some people can't help themselves and have troll like nature. It is fine not to like a watch as there are many I don't care for. It is another to insult people and troll in sub forums when you clearly have nothing nice to say. That is the difference between class and tact and those lacking.

The other thing you MIGHT want to keep in mind, our mods can see right through your BS, and sooner or later you will find yourself on permanent vacation. That would not hurt any of our feelings So I bid you farewell and will look for you on the Rolex forum. Because believe it or not, most of us here actually can appreciate it as a brand. |

Curious? Learn
If you're curious about AP - or any other top quality watch brand like Breguet, Lange, JLC, Journe, Patek, Vacheron, etc. then it's worth doing some homework on some of the specialist sites dedicated to those brands and learning what makes them so special.
Ignore the naysayers until you've satisfied your curiosity by actually seeing those watches close up and handling them. Then decide. If you still can't value what they offer, then you've saved yourself a bundle of cash and can happily continue with Rolex. |

Have to agree and these types of posts now are getting quite out of hand so subject is closed.
