AP classic grande complications
Wanted to share with you some pics of AP complicated watches.Interesting in a way but not up to the level of design of Patek for these kinds of grande complication watches, as much as AP is top notch for their sport watches, it seems to me that Patek blows them out of the water with equivalent pieces.Like a lot their pocket watch though, kind of piece which is really cool to have in a very big collection, or if your name is Johnny Depp, you see him very often with a chain indicating clearly he has a pocket watchEnjoy the pics2890523gross.jpg25996TI_OO_D002CR_02.jpg26356PT_OO_D028CR_01.jpg26353PT_OO_D028CR_01.jpg25712BA_OO_0000xx_01.jpg

Nato and spring bar
Do you guys use the oem spring bars when you put on your Nato straps? Does the Nato put pressure on the spring bars causing them to bend or come loose? Thanks.
