Ghastly.

screws from b&q, colour scheme from Stevie Wonder.

ghastly...

Why do hex heads set immovably into hexagonal holes need screw slots??? A triumph of meaningless decoration over functionality.

Agreed. It blows my mind that anyone would spend £30,000 on that!

I know it will seem to some that as I can't afford this that it will appear like I'm hating on this offering and those can afford it but I've noticed over the past few years I tend to prefer most companies entry level offerings.

I like the basic AP Diver for that reason: No broken/missing numerals, no untidy sub-dials, no rubber coating or pink gold!

If they made a Max Power magazine for watches, that would be on the front cover.

I think that's the idea, the nuts tighten up at the back.

For point of clarification, I am in no way defending this parts bin special edition.

Oh dear that's not getting much love is it ? Lol !

I feel the same way about some of the (similar) hublots to be honest. I was looking at some man united special edition last week in terminal 5 which had 'markers moulded out of bits of the old Trafford turf'. What a load of old bks !!!

Exactly- the nuts tighten on the back - so why put slots in the hex heads which can't be turned because they fit into hex holes anyway?

[Miguel Alvarez]

Now that is lovely. The plainer the look (no offence) the nicer the AP.

[Miguel Alvarez]

[JOETHETOE]

I also really like the standard royal oak... classic
