I respect the technology but in terms of looks not one of the most attractive AP's I have seen.

Yes, this is the one in Bangkok. They were willing to give handsome discount if one were to negotiate. I didn't dare even asking..haha!

Thanks, that is really annoying as I was there last week and I could have paid them a visit! I don't suppose you noted the list price did you please? In my experience AP prices in Thailand are considerably higher than HK.

It's an incredible piece, that's incredibly heavy!
Tried it on at the Las Vegas boutique.

Thanks very helpful. Actually fairly similar to list in HK and US I believe.

It's a great looking watch, but the carbon bezel is not ideal for resilience IMHO.

Yeah for me it's the most beautiful also, just the weight might be a little too much...

I can respect the work that goes into creating such a complex timepiece, but man that thing is ugly. Just too cluttered for my tastes.
