Today's new acquisition:

Next to my 233:

rpryan55 · 11 August 2010, 12:19 PM

Oh man, are those two beautiful timepieces! That AP is too friggin' cool for words - I've never seen that exact model, and haven't seen a lot of those on straps. That one is really stunning - I love the black dials - along with the red accents they really make that watch pop. Congrats!

wisguy · 11 August 2010, 12:21 PM

Wow man, that's a serious watch!

Someday I'll be able to afford one...

bodybump · 11 August 2010, 12:31 PM

sleddog · 11 August 2010, 01:23 PM

hennabav · 11 August 2010, 02:31 PM

Congrats Max!!...you did well for yourself. AP are one of my most favorite watches. Classic and sporty looking pieces. Enjoy it and wear in good health!!

sushisummo · 11 August 2010, 03:37 PM

Awesome AP and 233..........congrats

Joey_V · 11 August 2010, 04:04 PM

Man that's a nice watch.

So does it wear smaller than the 233?

Where did you buy it? An AD here in Chicago?

Jackxv · 11 August 2010, 07:40 PM

Very nice watch!!

I wouldn't buy it (even if I had the funds) but I definitely understand this is superb quality.

Yea, it wears smaller than the 233 in my opinion. It's a little heaver, but overall wears smaller. I got it from an out of state AD, I don't buy anything in Illinois because I don't want to get hit w/the sales tax. The only AD in Illinois for AP is Swiss Fine Timing, though a couple of the jeweler's row shops carry AP. I'll try pieces on locally, but it's just not worth paying the sales tax, especially when you are talking a watch as expensive as an AP.

Congratulations again, Steve. Beautiful addition, and a spectacular pair!

JF23 · 12 August 2010, 03:18 AM

Great pair!

L-16610 · 12 August 2010, 05:17 AM

what a nice watch
I hope to own an Audemars one day

Brooks · 12 August 2010, 11:16 AM

very nice. Did the AD offer any type of % off MSRP?

Max · 12 August 2010, 11:58 AM

Yea, I would never pay MSRP for a watch. If you're a good negotiator, you should be able to get pretty close to what grey dealers are selling for.
