Arrival!
The other day I asked for some opinions on whether I should let 2 Rolexes go and pick up my first AP. I had already made my mind up bur just needed some reassurance from you enablers out there that I wouldn't regret my decision.

Just picked this up from FedEx a little while ago. I must be having some beginner's AP luck too since I was able to track down the much sought after bracelet over the weekend.

awesome! nothing like the finishing, bevels, chamfers on an Ap, enjoy that beauty.

ps that looks so good on the bracelet! You wont look back at the rolex that you moved however you will look forward to another Ap, its a terrible sickness!
