Very nice
Love the sculpting of the case
Nice touch for AP to include the strap
….well, almost. The new ceramic Codes are supplied with a “woven effect” rubber-coated leather strap. I think this looks a lot nicer and sportier than the standard crocodile strap. So, after a few emails, I popped down to the AP House in London and picked up a new strap.
I also got a chance to look at the new ROO 43. The fumé dial version is amazing and doesn’t seem to wear much bigger than my 42mm diver. The dial almost seems to glow. I also got to try on the red 11.59 which is very Moser!
Despite the fact AP House has a fully stocked bar, I was only offered a soft drink - no afternoon G&T for me. The staff were fantastic though, fitted the strap and happily talked watches for 45 minutes.
Here’s that new strap….

Looks great, gives it a sporty look. The Code 3 handers are my favourite current AP design by a mile.
I really like that, is the case white gold? I had a look on the AP website but couldn't see this model.
The case reminds me of my Moser.
I think I have found now, is it this one?

I think the RRP back then was around £23k. But since I was the only person on the planet that actually liked the 11.59, I think Watchfinder were just happy it sold at any price!
I think the new generation of 11.59 with gradient dials are a lot more popular and may have a better residual. Maybe, just maybe, now my first generation is discontinued, it might gain value because of rarity. But I am the worst person in the world to offer advice of not taking a hit when reselling watches.
