AP Incoming!

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum, signed up because of the AP forum, wanted to know more about the brand and different models. I'm on the process of acquiring my first Audemars Piguet, a new stainless diver. I should have it mid-week, looking forward to getting it as this is the nicest watch I've owned. I have had a few watches in my past collection, including Breitling, Omega, Rolex, Tudor, Panerai and Tag Heuer. I'm down to 3 now, a Panerai 328, Baume & Mercier Riviera and now the AP Diver. Thanks!

Welcome Matt. Looking forward seeing a pic of that AP Diver on your wrist!
Are you going to wear it on strap or on bracelet? Nice "small" collection you seem to have too, do share some pics of it if you find the time.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!:) I am getting the bracelet for it, and will probably switch out quite frequently.
I had to move 4 Breitlings and 1 Tudor to get the Diver, so I'm pretty excited to get it as well, I will post pictures as soon as I get it.

That's sounds wonderful man, I would get the bracelet for it as well to switch often!
4 Breitlings and a Tudor for an AP Diver.... I don't know if I could let go off my Breitlings, I don't care for Tudor (Somehow I don't like them).
But anyhow the AP Diver is a serious upgrade! Looking forward to the pictures

Congrats and welcome to the AP world (of madness).

You are going to love the Diver for a sports watch. Really a great piece and ideal watch to get started into AP.

Look forward to pics!

Wow, the AP diver looks great and sorry you have to move 4 Breitling's but I'm sure it's worth it. Congrats and enjoy it!

Thanks! I was a little bummed to move the other watches but in the end it was definitely worth it.

Congrats Matt! I'm in the same boat right now...thinking about moving several watches for a diver. I like variety, but still keep coming back to the diver. I'm sure you had the same argument with yourself. You've got me thinking.....

Wear it in good health my man!

I was too excited to set the date correctly before I started snapping pics! I've since corrected the date;)
