Until I get a Domi 2XAR XTAL for it and swap a better date-wheel into it, I am not wearing the J12 SB. Everything else is great, but those two things irritate me every time I put the thing on: Xtal and DW. (Not counting the length of the small hands being too long, which I will fix one day). GLWS sharrkey. (I just bought something from him as well.)

I thought the standard xtals we all just ordered from guru didn't fit these? Is there another group buy for these?
Also, whats wrong with the DW?

Standard crystal won't fit Sb as it's totally different, here's a pic of the sapphire
No press needed to remove they just float, clarity isn't too bad as standard but agree that Domi's Ar will be a massive improvement.

Hey,
could you give me a hint where i can get a betten DW for my SB? - Would be great!
Thanks
^it's because there were only several pieces that have silver screws on the movt. The rest has blue screws.
Interesting note, I guess many of you already know this but, I just received the AP 2014 Collection catalog, and the Buemi is still a current model. I thought the LE run had finished.

It is listed in the catalog as a LE of 250 pieces, yes. I guess they haven't sold all 250 yet? Or at least, had not at the time of publishing.
I can understand that. if i buy a 30k AP i think about two times if the name of a completely insignificant racer should stand on it

It brings up an interesting point about the idea of the brand ambassador though doesnt it? In a celebrity worship culture, people move in and out of favor so quickly that it could be seen to be quite risky to associate your brand with some individual who could very quickly become irrelevant or worse. Seb Buemi is no boondoggle like Tiger Woods or Lance Armstrong, but I do admit I was surprised Seb got his own LE watch. That seems like for an iconic brand kike AP to label a watch after anyone at less-than-icon status actually could diminish their brand cachet.
What's next? The Kim Kardashian/Kanye West matching Hublot Big Bang? If that actually exists, I don't want to know about it.
I think the SB is a very cool watch, at the end of the day the only name on it I care about is 'Audemars Piguet'.
Worth noting that there is no Patek 5711 Charlie Sheen, for instance.....

I find it funny. Ever since becoming a fan of the watch, I find myself cheering for Buemi a bit more. In WEC I am hoping Toyota continues to dominate and does well at Le Mans and they win the championship overall. He put some time in as well at the spain test today and I followed that a bit.
