I hate it when luxury brands steal from other brands. Those sub dials are more or less an exact copy of the Daytona! AP should be able to come up with something by themselves. I expect stealing from brands like Invicta, but not from AP!

And frickin' day/date complicatons on vintage pieces?...and the more time consuming the day or date change is, the smaller and more difficult to operate the crown seems to be! I have this picture in my head of 2 watchmakers hanging out on a Friday arvo cracking each other up by creatingnew and novel ways to make a timepiece difficult to interact with!

Prefer the chrono without a date, but don't mind too much since it looks so good. More important to me is that the ap chrono has no displayback, low water resistance and low power reserve. Are you sure it's platinum by the way? I can only see a WG ice blue chrono on the website.

Regarding Furlan Marii: "Andrea Furlan is a Swiss designer who graduated from the elite ECAL (École cantonale d’art de Lausanne) and went on to work for different brands such as Chopard, Hublot, Sarcar and HD3. He is perhaps most famous for having worked on designing Dominique Renaud’s DR01, a watch so baffling that only Jack Forster, Suzanne Wong and let’s hope Dominique Renaud understand it." You are so accomplished and you come up with a copy of Patek with $20 movement inside. Hard pass!

I want to share a tidbit of knowledge about the AP Royal Oak as regards to advancing the date. I was stunned and flabbergasted to find out that despite AP being a member of the Swiss Triad & the prestige that comes with it, the only way to advance the date is to wind the watch past midnight! At this price and with AP's pedigree you would expect to pull out the crown to a second position and advance the date forward (and backwards on some high end brands). So AP having a date function on the Royal Oak only reminds me that it is a lot of work to set the date if you need to advance it more then one day.

Date window is super important, specially for someone who plans ahead and depends on their calendar as a daily tool. I normally need the date and a seconds hand on a watch. If it's missing one of those two it's normally no longer an option for me.

I love my Blancpain Leman Flyback, it's an absolute sleeper and I would happily have it over a Daytona every day of the week. Yeah, yeah, resale value of the Rolex is way better, but how many people do you see in your day to day Life wearing a BP vs a Rolex. Plus, the dial and finishing on the BP is WAY nicer than a $15,000 or $20,000 Daytona. Thanks to the RGM aftermarket glass case back I can appreciate that fine finishing and solid gold rotor. Great content guys! Thank you!

I like dates on watches but I prefer them either at 3:00 or 6:00. Not the biggest fan of them at the 4:00 position but the date wheel color matching the dial and with the chronograph sundials sort of masking it does help. However, looking at the AP Code 11:59 time only and the 4:00 date window is a travesty. It sticks out in such an odd way that it should just be removed. That by itself would significantly increase my appreciation for the 11:59 model line.
