Not sure if you've seen it yet, but wanted to mention that the new December issue of WatchTime is out and features the new extra-thin 39MM AP Royal Oak. Mine (magazine...unfortunately not an AP) just arrived in the mail. Great shot on the cover and a 15-page review including a disassembled view of the movement. Lots of other great info and articles...even has an article on Arnold's AP collection

ChristianN · 6 November 2012, 08:37 AM

Oooh sounds good, I hope the electronic version pops up on my ipad soon! Thanks for the heads up!

Submarino · 6 November 2012, 08:39 AM

Still waiting for my issue to arrive.

AmbSteve · 6 November 2012, 09:23 AM

It's definitely a thicker issue this time. They have a 59-page sports watch report...been sitting here enjoying the read. It caught me by surprise when I got home and saw it since it hadn't popped up on the site yet. A nice surprise though.

Hairdude1 · 6 November 2012, 10:09 AM

Very cool

B. Doggy · 6 November 2012, 10:37 AM

My issues always come late..

brkanand · 6 November 2012, 10:52 AM

I need to get it fast. Thanks for sharing. By the way, the only picture I have of watchtime is of this model.

I subscribed for the sole reason of getting it earlier than the news stand. Ugh. This is my first issue and have not gotten it yet either. Oh well.

Speed · 16 November 2012, 12:32 AM

Hmm.

Looks like the accuracy of the super thin AP on the cover leaves a lot to be desired. Spendy critter as well!

Haven't gotten the magazine yet. They discuss the accuracy of the Jumbo (15202) leaving a lot to be desired??

financeman · 16 November 2012, 01:48 AM

I need to go get mine from the stand. Haven't subscribed yet. I have heard before you can buy it quicker in store most of the time

RUpanerai · 16 November 2012, 01:54 AM

I know what Ill be looking for at lunch time. Correct, it does not hold time that well... =(

woodsworth · 16 November 2012, 01:54 AM

This month's edition was great- loved the AP 15202 article.

Arnold sure knows how to treat his APs!

Yep. That was one of the items which received the worst ratings...dont have the article in front of me but results were quite poor for a $22.5k SS watch.

Hard to justify the price if it does not keep time as well as my Sub!!

Trouble15 · 17 November 2012, 02:34 PM

Interesting, have to pick up the issue & give the AP article a read.

Monte Cristo · 17 November 2012, 03:04 PM

22k and its drawback is that it doesn't keep time.....WTF????

cdnyc · 18 November 2012, 01:48 AM

who really cares about timekeeping anyway?

incontrol · 18 November 2012, 02:42 AM

I have not seen the article yet but it would be hard to want a 20K watch that does not keep time well. A little bit of a downer to hear since this was at the top of my wish list!

QueueCumber · 18 November 2012, 07:17 AM

I just noticed that you can download the WatchTime magazines on Kindle. Thanks for posting about the electronic version!

Speed · 18 November 2012, 03:40 PM

Watchtime gave the watch a 4 out of 10 for Rate results. The greatest deviation of rate was 20 seconds per 24 hours.

Wonder how the 15300 stacks up? I have not given up on that watch - yet.

eric23 · 19 November 2012, 04:50 AM

I have not got mine yet but, now I am looking forward to it.
