I must say the AP was never on my radar...

Thank you Don for the tour
I particularly love the side by side shot of the movement before and after the skeletonised work. Truly impressive. I\'m happy to see the 1986 AP Tourbillon too as I was really interested in buying one few months ago. But its reliability is far to be good...
Thank you DonCorson....
