I got an opportunity to get a BNIB AP Prepual Calendar model 25820ST. Any thights on this watch? how about the movement? It's a 2120/2802 caliber and beats at 19,800 vph...
Thoughts please???
Thanks!!!

I am sure it is a beautifully made watch in every respect. My personal problem with it is that I don't want anything that beats so slow. I hate to see the second hand struggling around the face. I know that eliminates a lot of very well respected watches. I have had a couple of slow beaters and excuse the pun, I just can't hack it.

Did anyone said GRAIL

One of my absolutely favorites and a Grail piece for me.

Maybe not a watch to be worned as a daily driver (Water resistant 20m)but definitive a watch that would look great in a bigger collection.
The 2120 movement is based on the JLC caliber 920 which would perform great even at a quite low vph.
The Vph is only of interest for me when talking chronos/regattas.

MSRP for this watch is 82,600€

The pics shows the SS version with reference numbers you sent me.

I guess this was the first one that popped up in my mind

That ones like twice as much as the regular dial. I pm'd u the wrong #, my fat fingers hit the "9" instead of the "0", the 9 indicates the sapphire dial. So, in essence, you're correct.
Anyways... Good watch still, minus the clear dial???

Talk about legibility nightmare

No doubt of the horology coolness though
