Luthier 1 Posted January 7, 2010 Got my B/Day gift from Mary today, 2 days later, than actual B/Day, due to overloaded post offices during holidays. But better later, than never. Also I found nice set of leather punches - round, oval and oblong. Sweeeeetttt... Well... this mofo is HUGE!!! Bezel is 45mm, overal (with pushers guards) - 50mm. And it's damn HEAVY. And gorgeous. Looks great on my wrist, I think. Overall quality is very good, very crispy dial and subdials, very good prints, excellent engravings, and beautiful strap with double AP clasp. Rose gold, red and black. Great combination. Here's the pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sconehead 5 Posted January 7, 2010 I'm not into AP's Luth but it certainly looks well made. Good to hear you've got more strap making gear, can't wait to see your creations...you thinking of making/selling to the membership? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good to hear you've got more strap making gear, can't wait to see your creations...you thinking of making/selling to the membership? Will start after NAMM Show. Sure, I'll sell it to our members, to whom else? How else I can pay back for such a great attention and unconditional love, that I get here? :lol: I'm with sconehead - not into APs but looks well made! Can you post pics of the hole punches?

Luthier 1 Posted January 7, 2010 Cool. Looks like the quartz version? If you like the AP quartz, you might like this one, as well: http://www.replica-watch-guide.net/forum/i...?showtopic=3550 Thanks, Gio, it's really great watch, I just don't like these pushers guards, it reming me iron's handles. Yes, mine is Quartz, because this AP with A7750 cas quite unstable seconds @12, and I don't need a watch for $600 be dead in a few days. Also, I don't wear a watch every day, so, need to wind and set up the time, if it's auto. I need to buy watchwinder, just had no time for it yet. So, Quartz definitely a good choice for my needs. I have about 45 reps, and 3-4 of them are Quartz. @Kinky - No, I don't need a booth there, I have enough orders without any advertisements. I just want to meet friends from all over the World there, maybe jam too. @Greg - THANKS!!! Better later, than never. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
