Picture says a thousand words...

Just taken today and want to share.

Beautiful pic Ben - I'm not that interested in the 42s and 44s, but if I ever got a larger size AP it would be that watch - you're such an enabler!!

The finishing is beautiful when reflecting light.
The finishing looks best on stainless steel follow by black ceramic then white ceramic. The beautiful finishing is not visible on white ceramic due to almost no reflection off white ceramic.

That is such a beautiful shot of a great piece. Your photos are always so awesome Ben, I wish I could take photos like that.

speedfighter · 2 May 2016, 03:16 AM

That really is nice!!!

sea-dweller · 2 May 2016, 03:18 AM

Very nice!

AK797 · 2 May 2016, 03:46 AM

Looks more like a sculpture than a watch, just insane marquetry.

kneedeep · 2 May 2016, 05:54 AM

Fabulous. Sometimes I just can't keep myself from admiring all the angles, polishes and numerous geometric shapes visible on my 15300. Truly a piece of wearable art.

HL65 · 2 May 2016, 06:05 AM

Fantastic shot Ben!

I wish. Just beautiful.

jschmidtdmd · 2 May 2016, 09:32 AM

Great shot, and great watch!

kechy · 2 May 2016, 09:48 AM

Seriously, benlee, you do such a stellar job at working the light and capturing that amazing finish!

GB-man · 2 May 2016, 10:58 AM

Great shot of a real stunner ben! Hard to beat the 15707CE in the right light

Patton250 · 2 May 2016, 11:03 AM

How scratch proof is the ceramic on that beauty?

Very unlikely you will scratch it Brett but chipping is possible along the crisp edges of the bezel. By all accounts it can be worn just like a rolex but if you do really give it a serious knock the recourse is more expensive.

When I had mine I didn't have any issues and I took it everywhere

Mine didn't scratch but something happened at a place it shouldn't and without any shock, it was sent to AP Le Brassus, mightq be that the case cracked, will know more later, in any case for me it is a defect as not a single shock happened on it...

Le Chef · 3 May 2016, 12:44 AM

With all due respect it's hard to capture the real beauty of the finishing in a photograph however good it is.

Handle an AP yourself and as you slowly turn it round you begin to see how the light plays of the different surfaces and how that detail of design was all intentional, not accidental.

Som watch enthusiasts don't "get" AP simply because they've never had the opportunity to handle one. It's a shame as getting one in your hands makes a huge difference in appreciation.
