    Sinn has an incredibly strong pvd-coating on top of a tegmented case. Unscratchable (1200 Vickers) and the pvd is super tight

      Cedar Canoe Totally agree for the watch case. I have the tegimented U1. The tegimented buckle scuffs a bit after 5 years of enthusiastic use, though. Still my favourite watch, though! 😎

    lmao not even Elon musk, bill gates or mark Zuckerberg were able to afford such watches at 18 years old, their companies were just starting, and they are proven self-made billionaires, but you really want us to believe that this guy had crafted a well respected company, and he had the means and contacts necessary to sell that company to a high enough margin (to whoever it is that he sold it to) and that allowed him to live a life being confortable buying 80 thousand dollar watches.... hmmmmm, ok I guess.

For me, my first AP was not a good experience, a vintage two tone Royal Oak that I bought on the spot and discover later that it was not in the best condition. Took a lost on it...but I still love AP and hope someday it will be again on my wrist ( top shape of course ).

    Royal Oak has the iconic case shape but thats it. Most people buy it for the case design. Beyond that, the kind of money they are charging for the watch is ludricrous. The quality nor the QC of the movement is not even on par with Grand Seiko Spring Drives, Zenith, Rolex, and Omega.
