Speaking of 39mm he is right about setting it every 100 years... but speaking of 41mm it is every 6 years because of the wrong 52 weeks indicator...

Hope that next QP movement that is coming will not have week indicator or they add perpetuality on that complication too with 53 weeks...

“original JM Tuscany dial”…has he also co-opted the original Tuscany?

I’m sending him a list of the rest of my my collection he missed so he can keep co-signing

Regardless of how negative you are (or choose to be) on AP collabs, the John Mayer halo etc... JM is truly one of the most engaging/entertaining speakers out there. An astoundingly natural ability to draw the listener in...

This is true, the depth of his interest and genuine passion for various dimensions of horology (eg historical significance, mechanical nuances, etc) comes through and engages me. No other celebrity collector has had that effect.
Note that I don’t have an issue with the new JM collab (which I bet he actually substantially contributed to), but I definitely have a distaste for historical pieces being attached to modern celebrities. But it’s not that big a deal in the end. It comes down to the factual merits of each piece, I believe.

It really is, yes. When I initially saw it I thought it was meant to be a re-issue of sorts, like the Remasters :) But then I see it being called a JM collab, to which I thought “this isn’t very innovative.” I love your original Tuscany dial the most, and platinum, but this newer piece is different enough and unquestionably beautiful.

Certainly better than any Travis Scott or Marvel collab

IMO the best collab AP has done in recent times.

So funny how watch lovers can have so much hate for another watch lover just because he has the access and funds to purchase his dream watches like they wish they could.

Ohhhh trust me I want the new real JM collab. Honestly my fave color is blue so this is amazing. I see one of the members has one here and posted it a few days ago in the What AP are you wearing section.
I can’t wait to see them side by side. New vs old dials. 39mm vs 41mm WG vs Platinum movement vs movement

Any whiff of such hate would be unfortunate…thankfully there’s none of that on this forum, unless the thread was misinterpreted. Plenty of watch lovers and collectors here on the forum whom we celebrate and appreciate for their graciousness in share their pieces and insights. Beyond that, I’d like to think everyone on the forum is content and accepting of what each has.

None of the 39mm models except the anniversary one have the week complication so the 30/31 28/29 February counting will be wrong once in a 100 years, so hypoteticaly if it is always winded and not serviced it will need zero or one reset during your lifetime.

The added week complication on 41mm models with wrong 52 weeks will need to be reset every 6 years because of 53 week ajustment and it completly kills the "perpetuality"... Patek and some other brands did this complication right...

But hey who cares about this... it is all how hot d drop iz and nmbr of likes on insta

I would like to hear from someone that has not needed to reset or service their QP for 6 years and were so put off by it, that they yelled...stupid AP...I wish this didn't have a week indicator and was a PP!

The week indicidator is one of the best things about the AP QP. It provides such a great visualization of where we are at in the year and how much time is left to ccomplish those things we set at to do at the beginning of the year.

If AP got rid of it....their QP would lose much of the magic for me.

Speaking that way... oh and why have that stupid leap year indicator,who keeps running his watch 4 years and can't make that ajustment every four years...

We speak about horology, complications so the week one with 52 is stupid and does not belong to a hh piece....

On other hand it is a preference if you like or no the week complication... and if you have it on such a piece made it also perpetual...
