New Czapeks
Looks like 2 new Antarctiques, both with adventurine dials. Not 100% clear the difference, and the website doesn't seem to explain it that well (well, at least it's hard to tell without a careful read....I couldn't really find an explanation).
I believe one has a white sparkly adventurine dial, and the other one is sort of mult-colored sparkly??? They look nice though. Comes in the "regular" 40.5mm case and the "S" sized 38.5mm. Everything else looks pretty similar to the base Antarctique. |

I still can’t help but feel I’d rather just buy a used Royal Oak when I see these.

Full disclaimer, I haven't tried on the new 15510, which I understand to be thinner than its recent predecessors... Though its double the cost of a Czapek. |

Sexy.
40.5mm with diamond markers is pretty cool IMO.

I’m slightly confused here on pricing. Isn’t a day date diamond dial like 6k more. Is czapek charging 20k more? Whoa

Some people are not into the RO aesthetic. I am one of those people. There's something about the way AP has overdone the RO in all its various forms that has been kind of a turn off, at least to me.
The Black Panther, the Spider Man, the Equalizer models, and the Offshores in general....it's a bit too much. Apologies for owners, but there is a bit of a a-hole factor with ROs nowadays. |

Oh, I figured out that the Flying Diamonds are the same as the Polar Sky except with diamond with diamond indicies and the ability to bling it out more that way.
