On this episode of Q&A Tuesday I answer the following questions: ⚙️ I've been really impressed with the latest AP Code 11.59 two tone chronographs with the ceramic case. I think the contrast really highlights the design of the 11.59 line. I tried on the WG model at the AP House boutique in HK and then put my name on the list. They didn't say how long the wait is, but I assume it should be a reasonable time. I remember in your Q&A episode 89 you mentioned you were buying 11.59s ...
