Where ever you go you’ll find a purist family member
That’s priceless my friend
All I have to say is WOW the first concept that I actually really like

Pretty Annoying
This post really rubbed me wrong way. Is AP really letting people with a small instagram following post their latest and greatest creations with captions like that? Don't get me wrong the watch looks AMAZING! BUT I want to learn as much about it as I can ...
Well, I am the AP Moderator and this is how I learned about it too.
In the old days I might receive a release or notice ahead of time. This is the world we live in, ultra fast communication and everything happens through social media. Obviously, the brand is not concerned with only partial information being available. If ...
MC your the best and next time I will share it with you first to post
Long live our Moderators
You are kind, but it is not necessary. In the old days, preferred, but now... post away!
I can't keep up with all the AP nuts worldwide, by all means post as you wish. Thanks Mo.
Le Brassus
I understand, but I also believe that as the moderator for AP on a forum with a fairly large following (that's actually recognized by Audemars Piguet) that you probably would have been more careful with the wording of such a post rather than using emoji's...
Certainly, and we all have our own style. I try to post all pertinent details, and emojis with a new watch are not my thing.
You highlight a point which has become difficult for me. At PuristSPro, one of the very first rules I was given from Thomas Mao was that we always respect embargoes. We do not post a story, not even 1 minute early (can't say this about other competing web...
Regardless
Regardless of how it was released, I think we can say that this is a very exciting piece. The Self Winding Royal Oak Offshore Tourbillon () is rarely seen but the forged carbon execution was just fantastic (I don't love the rose gold ones with the white d...
Please don't assume that Francois was reluctant. It's not fair.
Francois invited me to a manufacture tour last week. When I first met him, I was adamant that they needed to change their concept in order to make it more wearable. He said that I was not the only one, and they were working hard on it, because at the end ...
LOL, classic Francois! You are welcomed to post here, horoloupe.
As I replied, I take no offense whatsoever. I have a busy work life, and a Family to look after, so I am all for you guys running with any bona fide information AP gives you. I only object when people post erroneous information or misleading information, ...
Yes exactly, and I am more than willing to post everything I know about the watch.
I will make a post here with all three photos and all the info I know regarding the new concept
Please don’t shoot the messenger I’m poor little guy
On a serious note though you are right and not just AP all the last few pics I posted on the RM forum from the same source IG I guess this could be the new norm
Different
I think that's a different situation altogether because this will mean an entire new line of watches for AP. Those watches you posted are unique pieces that wont necessarily receive official press releases as they're probably done for individual customers...
I’m with you HorologyMiami
I get mad with my nieces because they don’t know how to write or spell correctly, and all of a sudden the youngsters substituted written language with emojis!!! 😜😫😔 But sadly like MichaelC said, I believe that with the explosion of social media and super ...
I agree with you (I posted the photo)
Please read what I replied to HorologyMiami in his previous comments, but what I have to say is that Instagram is a more informal, casual form of mass communication where emojis are rampant and better express emotions with less characters. No one wants to...
Yes, I guess that happens
When we take a piece of information disregarding the context. Anyway I hope my post was not aggressive and only expressed my opinion of what I would like to see/read at PuristsPro. Best. René
Let me tell you more about this watch.
In my defence, I was filled with too many emotions to properly come up with a caption. I have been waiting for a comfortable, properly fitting concept for too long, and was ecstatic when Francois put it on my wrist. I apologize if my caption isn't to ever...
Pure speculation - sandblasted titanium case and cermet bezel.
Whatever the materials, it looks HOT!
If I understood correctly Roger (conkers) stated that AP will not make ceremet bezels anymore...
they made every single of his requests on his 1/1 ROO tourbillon expect ceremet bezel... so I think this one is sandblasted for the case and titanium for the bezel... would love that AP starts using ceremet again, it has ceramic scratch proof and look tha...
Indeed that is what I was told about cermet following my request but maybe things have changed.
Returning to the main topic I hope I didn’t cause any offence to anyone here by posting pictures of my unique piece recently because it didn’t come through official channels. I did ask AP’s permission before I posted and they were very relaxed. And just f...
Haha it's a pocket shot.
Check out a photo I posted 2 days ago. It's a photo of the concept in white (It's available in red, white, and baby blue), and it's right side up. Again, my instagram is: horoloupe
Brilliant.
The best from AP, and I am in total agreement regarding the way it was premiered but per Michael - c'est la vie.... Cheers, Filip
When I read 350CHF, as “very reasonable for this”, I understood definitely that I need to stop thinking to me as a watch collector...
... sell everything and maybe buy only 1 or 2 watches... I think the world is going mad, crazy, money has no value anymore, without mentioning that I have to work 10hrs a day to earn a fraction of this amount of money in one year of work... Most probably ...

Dear Riddler, you’re right...
.... I ‘m happy with the life God decides me to have, I own a humble 30 something collection, but trust me before I wrote my previous post I really decided to get rid of most of it I ‘m tired to see what watch collecting is becoming... I will take only so...
Am I the only one who does not like this RO Concept?
I like the old stuff better than the new stuff. Nothing to date comes close to the CW1.
