Another Belated Incomer !! 48mm BEAST
Got this a few weeks ago, haven't gotten a chance to post it up !

For those who have seen it in person, you can appreciate the quality/details and finishing as with most AP's prob.. However, the ceramic really must be seen in person, the brushing of the case/bezel is unreal when the sun hits it

Wears really well despite its size

My wrist is like 7-7.2.. It's the STRANGEST THING! You see the Patek 5960 on my wrist? It's perfect, my wrist can wear anywhere from 39mm rolex to 48mm beast AP's, and they all look great.

I tried on the JLC 1931 tribute in which i'm about to pick up too, I LOVED IT !!!!

Patek spoiled me, making all of the other bigger watches feel like toy watches The JLC so classy, very thin, but again the length/profile fits my wrist very well oddly enough

Sure is pretty, but I'd need to lift weights just too be able to wear it. That thing is HUGE by any standard.

It sure is big, but lays flat on the wrist, and is pretty light ! It wears well ..

huge congrats! what an awesome piece
i actually saw this one before getting to try on a GP back then, and thought it was too big, but now and especially after the LBJ i see how incredible it is

you could be the only bigger fan of the GPC than i am lol so let me ask you this:
if you HAD to choose one, which?
