Hi, does anyone know when was the 25860st first released and when was it replaced by the 26300st?
Thanks |

If memory serves me correct AP introduced the 25860 in -97 and it was replaced in 2008 by the 26300.

I think the newer version uses a different casing overall and bracelet as well. If I am mistaken the movement was also updated to a newer calibre.

The only difference between the two is that the screws on the 26300 extend thru like they do on the ROOs and on the 25860 they don't.
Case size, movement dials are all the same.

Thanks for the info Thomas, I was wondering about it for some time. I think AP should've given the 26300 more time.
