Why such drastic move? I'm pretty sure for someone to buy 20 watches within such a short timeframe to selling off almost everything in a even shorter time, some unpleasant incidents might have happened between you and your SA or did the quality/service of AP disappoint you in any way?

Love AP, but currently at zero as I sold my one Royal Oak in November. It was a bit too flashy for my personal use, but I still very much appreciate APs on others.

Only 1/3 of them got registered. I just monitor it closely and register it back every time. AP can still look into details and check it. Luckily, I didn't really get banned. Too pitiful that I sold 15202st way too early before its peak around Feb 2022. Otherwise, great profit for quite a number of watches.

26240st green - 225k
15407or - 270k
15416ce - 250k
15600ce - 95k

That’s the shadiest, most egotistical thing I’ve read on this forum yet. That means whomever bought those watches continues to get screwed by you as you re-register them under your name.

NGL - I smell BS on this but who knows. Maybe true. 20 Watches in two years is a crazy amount of allocations when the market had already started heating up 2020-2022. If you are indeed telling the truth then my hat's off.

Currently 5 APs in my collection. Hoping to add 2-3 more this year but will be more selective. Three of mine were from AD and two are from the gray market. Began collecting AP in 2023.

Can't figure out how to post a picture so just listed them below.

15510ST Blue - Gray Market
15210OR Blue - Retail
15510BC Ltd 100 - Gray Market
26424BC - Retail
26240OR Blue - Retail

Seems like those who are already in the AP journey, keeps looking to add more. And today's market is a good time to go ahead. Doubtful prices will go back to 2021-2022 hype but has the market bottomed out? Or still going down? I'm inclined towards market still has room to go further south.

Thank you all for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I purchased the bumblebee new in 2013 and that got me hooked.
