AP Is Not In The Top 3 Anymore For Many WIS
I was speaking with a group of WIS friends and we all agreed that AP is not in the top 3 watch brands anymore. The fact they need to constantly try to attach endorsements of celebrities to each special edition, the fact that they need to call their watches like the grand prix special edition when it is nearly 10% of their annual production, and the fact they need to reduce prices indicates that the brand is no longer one of the great brand names. They have become desperate to sell a watch and it is only getting worse. They are not in the same league of Vacheron or Patek. For example, it is hard to find any Patek watches when you visit dealers and they have twice the annual production. Vacheron has sold out their annual production at the first few days of the SIHH show the past couple of years. AP is nowhere in their league of Patek or Vacheron. Although they have complicated watches any brand can hire an independent watch brand to make a grand complication or a tourbillion. AP under

Brushing Titanium PCLs? (Speedmaster 57)
Hi all,After seeing it in person, the Speedmaster 57 (Titanium on Titanium) is a really beautiful watch.As you know, the center links of the Titanium bracelet are polished, just like the Stainless Steel version. Right now, I like the PCLs, but I was wondering if I wanted to in the future, one could brush the center links to match the brushed look of the outer links.I've read that an AD could do that fairly easily on a Speedmaster 57 stainless steel bracelet, but I'm wondering if the same is true for a Titanium bracelet or would it be a more difficult (or possibly easier?) job because of the different metal characteristics. Any info would be appreciated.Thanks.
