Bought the watch in Wempe london, they served my wife and i some champagne and caviar as well. I got her a Patek as well but that is another thread all by itself.
44 is usually big but as you can see, it fits my right hand rather well. I am ambidextrous and I prefer to wear this watch on my right hand as it's quite a heavy watch as well. I usually wear my dress watch on my left
Have not had any issue with this watch. It has a very HUGE presence, it is certainly not a subtle watch like Patek or VC (we are talking about the non diamond watch)
As I wear this watch quite often, the strap retains my sweaty odors, I kinda sweat a lot for that matter. I have tried using dettol, warm/hot water, detergent and even tooth paste by alas no dice. Spoken to AP about it, their official line was there is nothing they can do about, advised me to change the strap
If I had knew about this odor issue, I would have gone for a metal AP strap watch. I now have another everyday watch with a metal strap leaving this AP on the watch winder. It would be nice if i could wear this AP watch more often....but that smell...
The picture really does not do justice to the beauty of this watch. The camera phone picture quality is terrible, coupled with a really dusty watch and an idiot who does not know how to take pictures, I am surprised no one mention that this could be a novelty watch.
I will post some better pictures once I get the watch cleaned up
Thanks for you comments
