I think each look amazing. And the lugs, yes not for everyone or every watch but visually it adds something. I feel like these watches fit very well for my taste today. 20 years ago, perhaps not.
What a super cool watch. To have the ability to do something like that with a brand like AP is obviously extremely rare if not impossible these days. Not that any old watch buyer could do it back then either, but certainly the doors of the brands were much more open.
I managed to see it on release day, happened to drop into a Boutique overseas and they did have one. I was smitten too. I could see myself choosing this over the modern Daytona for certain, it’s a far more appealing package. Maybe in the future. Enjoy it.
Would love to hear your thoughts on F versus P as an owner. The little I hear about F cars is usually about them being temperamental, and it’s always in the context of “just get a Porsche, it’s always going to let you drive it”!
