New to AP and would like some input

Hi guys, as the title of the thread suggests, I’m new to AP. I have always been a Rolex enthusiast but am feeling the need to venture out of my comfort zone and start to add a new dimension to my small collection. I have seen what I believe is a nice piece that isn’t to far from me and wanted to get the view of more knowledgeable AP enthusiast. I do like the look of the piece and I find it very comfortable to wear so that side of things is fine. But from a collectors point of view how does this piece stack up? Obviously re sail/ trade price is something to take into account as I have been known to switch things up regularly

I really like the anthracite model, my fave outside of the RG, Blowers have a 2017 for £26K so if you can get that for £24.5-5K that's a good deal for a great watch, expect they would offer £21-2K to buy it. Can always ask WF too what they would bid altho their prices are poor lately.

This stacks up very well. Both the old (this) and new ceramics are great watches. They are not making this watch anymore, so I would suggest go for it! Very good choice indeed. The new one with RG accents is cool option as well depending on your preference.

Thanks for getting back to me. I read a lot about panda’s. I’m guessing that’s a white dial with black chrono accents? With AP’s is there a colour-way that holds its value more?

After speaking to the current owner we have been discussing around the £23k mark, so that should be a deal well worth doing

Sounds pretty safe at that price.
