You're probably ahead just paying the premium vs buying the garbage they want you to buy to get a couple of pieces at list.
I've given up on Porsche for the same reason, fortunately I have the Porsches that I really want. Don't need or want any of the new stuff.
I succumbed unfortunately..
I used to really like AP I have owned quite a few throughout my lifetime. I’ve had the AP jumbo 15202 in every dial color in ss and I had the ss perpetual calendar RO about 15 years ago. I regret selling that watch as well as the jumbos but I was anxious ...
Blast of sunshine on your wrist!
I think it looks great for sure. The games are unfortunate, however, can always find stuff and pay to have it now. Enjoy 👍

Congrats Jorge ....
It's a strong look, stronger than your other YG watches in my opinion, but you look to be able to pull it off successfully! Cheers, Filip
That's a fine looking AP!
The fume dial really works great with that model, congrats!
I am in a similar boat
I really love the Royal Oak but I do not like the manufacturer and I've almost always had really bad experiences at the boutiques. But for some reason I still own one and I want one in solid gold with an aged dial lol.. Yours looks amazing, congratulation...
Yup, same feelings about the manufacturer. I can be a very loyal customer but they don't care. And thus they lost me a long time ago.
But the jumbo is quintessential AP for me. Sort of like a speedie being quintessential for an Omega.
This is true Jacob, the older I get the less I care about image. I buy what I like.
When I was in my 30's I wanted all PT because it was stealthy and I loved the heft. Now that I am in my 40's I'm like F that. I prefer the colored metals, if I want stealth I'll just buy ss and save a lot of money.
haha yeah. Like you, I avoided YG/colored gold my whole life and now that I am in my 30s I am more comfy with it
The grey hair counteracts things
I remember not long ago you mentioned that you’re done and want to enjoy what you have!
Seems like the disease is far more severe than you believed )) Not to worry, same shoes hare! I agree with your statement that it’s nice not “need” anything and not needing to play the games. When I enter a boutique and they just hint the idea of bundling...
Trust me Zsolt I want to be done with every fiber in my being.
And their are times of guilt that I feel, but it's a disease that we constantly battle with. And sometimes I win and sometimes I lose.
I know how you feel! Luckily(at lest for me), there’s not much temptation at least from the new releases.
But then again, there’s worst hobbies than this, if that’s a consolation
AP can kill you in so many ways.
It is easy to see why this dagger has pierced your heart!! CONGRATULATIONS! Any form of a jumbo is a special watch on the wrist. As for your car dash... it is either a bit dusty, or you have some custom aventurine finish!! ;-) If that also came from AP, i...
Amazing timepiece...
Congratulations on your amazing YG Jumbo. Super rare. I sometimes have the same itch to return to getting some of the old school Panerai pieces! Enjoy Peter
I too succumbed to pay a premium. However, I refuse to play the manufacturers game. In any event, I’m happy, I have what I want, life is short.
Congratulations on your acquisition, well done, all the best, Tony
I guess that makes two of us:) The days are long but the years are short.
I would rather just swallow the premium pill once vs several times of a loss to chase an elusive piece. Watch manufacturers have essentially copied the Ferrari playbook. I just refuse to play that game.
Congrats!
If you are just getting one AP for your collection, this can go no wrong👏🏻👏🏻
Big congrats again!!
You’re unstoppable now and I remember at some point you had almost given up on watches and focused on cars. Now you are playing with both our favorite toys, and big time 💪🏻👏🏻👍🏻
It’s easy to stop collecting cars, when you run out of garage space.
I’m still not fanatical about our hobby as a lot of it has lost some soul. But I appreciate the friends I’ve made here and in the car world. Good to hear from you R dawg👍
Huge congratulations, Jorge!
One of the most beautiful and iconic AP you've got. Looks perfect on your wrist.
Glorious
Absolutely glorious piece! It’s a watch for a life time mate! Love everything about this jumbo - wear it well!
