Ken that AP is a beauty. But for me, it's my Meteorite Daytona. Bright light vs. a low ambient light...

All beautiful pictures gentlemen! Mike (kilyung) your piece is tough as nails and captures the spirit of our hobby perfectly! For me my favorite piece has to be my 116718, no matter what my hand always gravitates toward that piece!

Maybe one day my 14060M will supplant this watch as my favorite, but I've owned the MM300 longer and I still love it most.
