Red Bar and Craniote's New Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Diver
Let's not F around, craniote's new piece:
As a young brash and arrogant turk, I've never felt envy until now. I wish I brought my second flash and my filters. These pictures do not do this watch enough justice. It's making me contemplate selling all my watches to pickup a VC titanium grey Chrono to play at that level.

I know that with AP as one of the 'Big 3' (at least the original Big 3 of PP, VC, AP) you expect a certain level of finishing, etc. and I can't profess to know much about the movement in those, but the case alone is a thing of beauty.
I think that AP have gone overboard in recent years with the variety of garish variations in the ROO line, but this is simply...
Huge congrats to you Adam, no doubt you'll get years of enjoyment from this piece. And thanks Jae for sharing these pics.

Wow, that place is a cafe?
Serious metal, as always, and the ROOD is beautiful. Takes one hell of a watch to outshine all those other pieces.

The ROOD is THE watch.
And what a table. Wow.

It always just says now

Okay I know I had a martini and 2 cocktails and 2 shots and a beer but isn't that how I spelled it?
Maybe you should spell it Crannypanties?

Re: Red Cafe and Craniote's New Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Di
awesome pics, Jae.
I know we've said it before, but that is some serious metal on that table.
Adam, the APROO does NOT disappoint. I gotta hand it to you on yer super secret stealthy tactics in your acquisitions. I could never pull it off. "She" knows everything. Congrats dude!

Re: Red Cafe and Craniote's New Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Di
Holy crap, that group shot is awesome.
Congrats again Adam, I've fallen in love with yet another one of your beautes.
I'll need to flip my car for that. haha.
The waffle watch is even better than I would have thought previously. STUNNING!
Cool to see the back, classy.
Looks great on your wrist.
Kudos to the photographer, sweet, sweet pics. Thanks for the memory burn.

Amaaaazing photos - thanks for sharing!! Great group of watches there. The AP is ridiculously beautiful. The other RO designs range from nice to garish, but they produced a true masterpiece in the Diver.
Adam, even in the 'relaxed' photos your satisfaction is clearly evident. I have a feeling the rest of your watchbox may be collecting some dust for a while.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Very nice Adam. That didn't take too long. It only seemed like a long time. The watch was introduced around this time last year, didn't hit dealers for a while after. It's only prudent to wait for the reviews and make sure all the bugs are worked out. Enjoy it.
Re: Red Cafe and Craniote's New Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Di
Jae,
Stunning photos. Thanks, as always.
Adam,
Next time you pose for a wrist shot, pop the boil on your arm! I almost yakked in my mouth, after seeing that thing in macro/high resolution.
Is the good Doctor always in attendance?
Oh yeah, nice pick up, your watch is stunning.

Thanks guys.
Woops sorry about that wound Adam, digitized it out for you there.
edit: Hmmm just realized that boil was all over my FF. Time to brush it thoroughly.

It wasn't a boil, it was my mothers cat, Onslow, digging in when I was trying to drag him out from under the bed for a vet's appointment. Sheesh.
