Alarm, Date and No date are all 20mm lugs, waiting for confirmation if 100m No Date models have screw down crowns like the Alarm and Date models.hoppyjr wrote: ↑Mon Jan 15, 2018 10:56 pmI lusted for the Tribute model but it was out of my league. Since I also don’t need a Chrono or alarm, either the date or no-date can work for me. The dual crown - all dial look should wear great in 41 or 42mm sizes.
Any idea when these will start showing up at dealers?

Re: SIHH 2018
This is what has kept me from grabbing an AP so far, as much as i love the look of the bezel...it appears it can be a scratch magnet.
Re: SIHH 2018
AP has had ceramic bezels for quite awhile now. Probably before most other brands went ceramic.

Re: SIHH 2018
Get the no-date Jacob, it's smaller at 41, no "piss" lume that your hate and has perfect symmetry of no-date, I bet it would look awesome on your wrist

Re: SIHH 2018
It is pretty cool. If I were going to get another Richemont watch, which I won't, I'd probably consider that one.

Just paint the whole thing in nail polish.

if I wanted an AP diver (or any genta case watch) I'd 3M film the hell out of it.

Re: SIHH 2018
Just get the marbled plastic version. Those don't scratch - they simply fall apart.

I wouldn't want my watch to melt every time I flip a burger. That watch was the stupidest thing AP has come up with besides this InvictaJP Chestnut wrote: ↑Tue Jan 16, 2018 10:32 amJust get the marbled plastic version. Those don't scratch - they simply fall apart.

Re: SIHH 2018
Love the Polaris line. Aside from the LE, pricing seems pretty reasonable. Last year's jlc sector dials were also reasonably priced, Imo. New offshores are crap. AP ultrathins looks pretty sweet. I like the ti platinum mix.

Re: SIHH 2018
I'm waiting for a call back. Doesn't sound right "fluted, not screw down" the lady I spoke with was sure 200m are screwed down but was double checking on 100m
Re: SIHH 2018
The le crowns are not screw down.

It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

Re: SIHH 2018
I'm all confused now, 200M non-screw down crowns? I can see the crown operating the dive timing rotating disk but the other one?
Re: SIHH 2018
I really think I might try to make one of the Polaris dates happen in a year or two. I almost pulled the trigger on the 2008 Tribute a few years ago, and I probably should have. One of my favorite watches of all time. This one isn't quite as cool, but it still pushes a lot of buttons for me. And I'm not a faux-tina lover generally, but the vanilla lume works better for me than the no-date's bright white lume.
