Audemars Piguet - NYC

Tried on some AP's today.

The chronos have a F. Piguet movement and the others are an in house movement.

Very comfortable.

That RG looks right against your skin. Unfortunately, RG does not look right against my skin tone...

I have to admit - the RG was amazing. So was the price tag: $59,000!

And they'll give a 5 yr warranty from the AD store instead of 2 outside.

I wondered about the play in the crown. Seems like when I tried to see the tightness of the movement when changing the hour, there was a lot of dead space before the hands would move.

Tried it on both the chrono an regular, both with the same play.

Seems like Rolex has a might tighter movement. Maybe not as pretty but def tighter.

Nice pics and selection.

Just a matter of if the boutique extra warranty is worth the serious extra money.

For me no.

Buy through an AP AD and get a 10 to 30 discount.
