Joined the Royal Oak Club

I have to thank George and Alaina at Govberg Jewelers for the awesome customer service and giving me some Royal Oak love! I was in SF the previous week, and made the mistake of trying the Royal Oak on. Once it was on my wrist, I knew I had to have it. The person I dealt with in SF was kind of an arrogant a$$ and made me feel I was wasting his time by asking him questions. So I made a call to George, and was able to work out a trade plus cash to acquire my grail! I received the Royal Oak on Wednesday, and I just can't stop looking at it. The fit, finish, and quality of the watch is at a whole other level. I didn't realize how dangerous it was to own an AP, now I want a Forged Carbon diver for something a little more sporty. LOL Well on to the pics.

It's funny you ask, my wife yelled at me at least 5 times today to stop staring at my watch.
