Where I need to be.
Lol! Well, if you ever need anything, you've found your way to the AP sub already and you've also found your way to the thread that is regularly frequented by the most anal and OCD people on this board. Do I need to say any names? :lol:

Your name is at the top of said list bro lol.

I work hard every day to add my name on that list. How do I do that? Can I bribe a friendly mod?

Hey Garuda. It’s because of sales like this:
https://www.phillips.com/detail/AUDEMARS-PIGUET/CH080218/58

As with so many brands and references those auctions push the prices of similar items irrespectively of their origin and sentimental value. Now, early D series 25721 dials are more sought after than others but that still doesn't mean they cost anywhere close to 10k :)

A quick one: those of you who know me know how much I love AP building hobby and how I always strive for perfection. Oh well, this time I hit a wall with my latest 100k project - Garuda, that's a reference for you - so who would like to guess what's wrong with this build :)

Thank you Sir for the kind words. I studied the history of the Beast for a good week before I embarked on the unthankful task of restoring a damaged bleached dial that cost quite a few bucks:) Indeed this is an early production dial, hence my teasers here and there. But nobody around here seems to be using good old Google other than maybe you :) I discussed my find with a couple of rwi members but nobody was impressed, not even after the said article :)

Anyway. I’m missing proper pushers and indeed an old style clasp. And something else, but who would guess that?)
