What AP is a must have?

[masmannan]

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone who gives AP advice. It's really appreciated and it's helping with my addiction to APs.

I have in my small but growing collection:

AP Diver 3.5

Safari

Silver Themes (Panda) incoming.

I have a sweet spot for Rubberclads: black dial, white dial and 57.

The Royal Oaks look kind of small.

The MH looks a little dandy. I like it but I don't think it's me.

What says you guys?

Masmannan

Must have is personal, but nice is Montoya

Did you just actually type that just to type that?

That is a beauty Sardonix!!

My favourite AP is the 26402, but unfortunately there is no rep of this one

How's the quality of the gold plating on the montoya?

With great 3 APs already Masmannan you should try something quite different before you become addicted like a Mille CHOPARD or even an SMP OMEGA

I have a Montoya, and it is a very sweet watch.  I highly recommend one.

How's the quality of the gold plating on the montoya?

 

Assuming it uses a DLC gold finish as the makers claim it does, it should be better lasting than usual plating on other gold reps.

 

I recall someone doing a test on the gold finish, and it stood up quite well.

 

I too want a Montoya, but still waiting for it to be back in stock

 

Other than that, perhaps the new 15400 by BP makers that's already out or the two other makers who haven't released theirs yet

I would say the ROO Diver with Swiss ETA 2824-2 movement. I had one myself. It runs plus 2/24H but sold it because it was too big for my wrist. Stunning watch perfect quality case, strap and also the movement.
