Thank you to 11.59 owners

back in july, I've asked code 11.59 owners feedback and today I've taken delivery code 11.59. Been trying to diversify AP collections and 11.59 is certainly different from all other RO's. Very grateful to have receive allocation (2nd allocation for 2023).

Fantastic watch you have there. I miss my code as I damaged it, so it’s away being fixed. To me the code is the best in the AP line up, and gets way more wrist time than my RO 15510. I’m hoping to get a purple dialed Chrono in the not too distant future.

Wear you new code in good health.

I also wear my blue ss code chrono way more than my blue 15510. Code 11 is killing it. Luckily, the flippers, hypebeasts, and gen Z tik tok’ers haven’t figured this out yet so we can still enjoy the code 11 without getting too much attention from the public—for now at least

I find Code to be an easy target to criticize by watch collectors. Great to see there are collectors like yourself that can digest and actually adore a fresh design/concept. One’s whole life doesn’t have to be RO NAUT RO NAUT AQUA DAYTONA RO PEPSI NAUT in repeat.

Congrats! Looks great on you. I tried one on and couldn’t connect with it, but they’re definitely a nice change.

Congratulations on your addition!

I am a firm believer that if the Code wasn't so openly mocked upon its first and second versions, these latest models would be very much sought after. I honestly do not understand how one can objectively say they are not better than most Royal Oaks. They truly are lovely.

Right now the only AP I am interested in is the Starwheel. I think Code is turning the corner.

Thank you, trying something different from RO family. It's certainly under the radar. Next up, I'm hoping for 16202 pink gold or 15407ST openworked.

Thank you all!! After owning several RO, including 15202ST loving AP brand, I wanted to try something different. It's light compared to other RO (no braclet) easy to read time/day. May also look into adding 11.59 starwheel. Something unique.

Rose gold vs white gold (with blue dial), any thoughts?

I went white gold with the blue smokey dial... I have a rose gold yachtmaster oysterflex already so think that swayed my choice
