Yes, I'm a bit too often on the road, lastly...
Sure, that is a very special piece, Andy.
I hope to be able to see it ( and you! ) in the flesh soon.
There is something special with skeletons... It takes you a lot of time to fully appreciate tham, that is difficult to put in words, but this is just magic.
So, see you soon?
Best,
Nicolas.
Dreams do happen...my first AP...
2 weeks ago I thought to see one of these in the flesh would be special...a very good friend has just picked one up and I was arranging to see it over lunch I had looked at all the dealers in the UK and this piece is very hard to see let alone get..!! The...
Great depth on this piece...

Not dreaming anymore Andy!
Congrats on this sheer beauty.......I suppose this watch brings us closer...I am so happy we both got to pick it up as we shared so much excitement on it. I am so happy for you,its been on my wrist since I got it,especially now in summertime......Next GTG...
We are brothers now..!!
it's been quite a journey for us both...mine wasn't quick either despite it all finishing in the last 2 weeks..!! I don't know when mine will be fully unwould as I can't stop wearing it or playing with it and with a 60hr reserve it could be a while before...
Huge congrats!
It's an amazing piece! I love the technical look of the dial. I hope you enjoy this watch for many, many years to come! Cheers, Daos
Thanks Daos...
I really appreciate your comments...hopefully one day we'll meet up. Andy.
Stunning!
An absolute joy to behold. I need to get my hands on one too - if only just to admire the detail workmanship. I'm sure it's comfortable and sized for normal wrists as well More pics. would be welcomed especially some showing the back? cheers fernando
It's so comfy on the wrist...hugs perfectly...
I hope you get one too - the details really can't be seen with the naked eye, you do have to use a loupe..!! Makes everything else I have look plain..!! I'll try to get pics of the back but it's a tricky one to photograph..!! Yours, Andy.
Absolutely beautiful
That is a watch you will never stop looking at! Just precious on the wrist, and the skeleton gives it another dimension altogether Very good choice for your first AP... Wonder what the second will look like Enjoy in the best of health
Don't know when it will be unwound as I can't stop....
playing with it and wearing it..!! I love to see the movement so I had to have a skeleton at some point but it had to be a good one....I'm also not a 'dressy' type and the more industrial look to this one was perfect. Thanks very much for your words. Andy...
Thank you Davo...
wearing it now and can't stop looking at it...must be careful when driving though..!! Yours, Andy.
That's some serious metal, Andy!
This RO is pure cool! Looks great on you, my friend! Enjoy it and looking forward in seeing many wristshots of you wearing it. All the best, Alex
Thanks for your words Alex...
it is so comfy on the wrist, the weight is perfect and even my non watch friends think it's amazing. Have hardly taken it off since Sat Thanks my friend, Andy.
Congrats!
I envy you. One of the best looking RO ever, to me. Beautifully special. Enjoy it. Vte
Thank you very much VMM...
I have to agree with you too...it is amazing in the flesh..!! Yours, Andy.
Late to the party ...
... but very pleased for you, Andy. I had one on my wrist in LA last week and it's a great watch. And one that I could actually wear every day. So versatile yet so much to admire. Impressed. Andrew
Better late than never my friend...
thank you very much for your words - I appreciate your comments very much. I am blown away by the details and beauty of this one...and like you something I could wear every day and never get bored. Even my mum is impressed with it and says she has never s...
How could I miss that post????
Unbelievable story, Andy. Getting it in such a short lap of time is really unbelievable, even more because I remember Mo's story, all the patience he had to show to get his. You definitely must be in Heaven, now. I'm very happy for you. I still have in me...
Heaven is an understatement believe me...:o)
Thank you Nico for your kind words - you must know by now how much I value your comments. I know you were away last weekend and I have secretely been hoping you would catch this thread as I knew you would be happy for me. It's actually not as short a stor...

Cheers Bill...this one is a keeper for sure...
Pity I couldn't make Las Vegas but then again if I had I would have missed out on this so it must be fate..!! Thank you for your comments, Yours my friend, Andy.
Skeletons are always special ...
and even more when they come from AP in a RO case. Was dreaming about the old versions in the past and called my local AP headquarter after Geneva 2010 to find out when it will arrive in the shops. I was told in summer, then autumn ... - haven´t seen one ...
Thank you Oliver....
skeletons fascinate me and I can't stop looking at this one through a loupe.! The book looks very interesting...is it from AD's or Amazon..? I think I need to understand more about the finishing and details and this looks like a good starting point. I'm s...
The book ...
is directly from AP and I ordered mine at my local AP headquarter. Another good source is watchprint dot com ... Cheers Oliver
Cheers Oliver...
I'll have a word with my dealer...what would the title be in English..? Thanks again, Andy.
Your wish is my command ...
