My BT treats me very well. I'm very thankful for the relationship. 3 RO's for me, 1 for my wife, and 1 for my sister in law. Total of 5 pieces to our family. It has certainly been a great AP incoming year.

I'm hoping to get the Ceramic Openworked in 2023. Fingers crossed....

Thanks! As of right now, just the CE Openworked + another RO for the wife. I'm going to wait and see what new references they might release post 50th to add to my wishilist.

I'm hoping and praying at this point. It's my grail and I'm hoping I'm in their good graces to be allocated one. Meeting some of the AP whales this weekend at the event, I come to the realization of the competition I have to deal with. lol. Not too confident to be honest. We'll see how next year plays out.

I know the exact feeling you're describing!

Congrats on the Jumbo and I hope you're able to score the CE. It's an absolute work of art.

The competition going from top 10% to 1% is nothing compared to trying to go from 1% to .01%! Fierce! Thanks for the photos. Amazing.

To AHG, there’s always formula 3 before formula 1. Good luck and fortune on the journey!
