So, unfortunately not mine, but where I am staying in New York just so happens to be a block away from the Audemars Piguet boutique. Well, I am glad I went in!! They were holding the piece for a customer who was coming in later on in the evening. I have to say... I am absolutely in love.

I know the feeling. I tried it on there in May of 2012 and then by August it was a done deal. On other models there is a choice of dial color, but on the Jumbo they make it easy...you can have any color as long as its blue. IMHO the blue on the Jumbo is stunning and takes on different shades depending on lighting. It should also be noted, that the color blue used on the Jumbo, on the new 41mm Chronograph, and on the 41mm 15400, is a different shade for each watch.

Here is a quick shot of one of my favorite views.

There's rumblings on other forums that newer batches of the Jumbo have a blue color this is darker. There seems to be a lot of blue variants in the AP world.

Yes, I heard something about a possible change in the color AP is using on the Jumbo. I love the color of mine and the way it reacts to different lighting situations. Yes, AP has used lots of blues for various models.

All sorts of color/funkiness - what do you guys think?

I think get some shoes, socks, a shirt and some trousers. You're not eleven years old, dress like a man!*

I also think the Pepsi GMT looks beautiful.



*Yes, these are the comments of a reactionary old bastard. Never mind, you posted for the watch, right?

lol still being student, I enjoy dressing like a young hooligan from time to time - plenty of time for shoes, socks, a shirt, and trousers later in life!

Hawhawhaw just keeping it funny.

Although technically speaking I think my friend's Hublot is more expensive than my Exp I. Quite like my Exp I better though!

I don't know Frills, your buddy's wrist game appears to be on fire.
