Couldn't agree more. NO one does WG like AP, it is truly mesmerizing in person and makes the ST look incredibly dull in comparison.

Incredibly dull is a bit strong, but side-by-side the difference is indeed striking.

AP confirmed to me during a Masterclass that they Rhodium plate their WG watches, so it should be a more brilliant white than companies that use grey gold. Haven't really heard of anyone having to re-plate their watch though

Seeing AP embrassing youtube influencers and betting on keeping secondary market prices as high as possible manipulating the market I would not be surprised if they gave on to LB agreeing on a listed price to set the bar high and keep the lie going.

That would effectively make it worse. You’re leveraging the goodwill of your friend, not a random sales person, to pocket cash. Guess some people won’t get free tickets for life shows anymore.
