It finally arrived.....

So, I am finally a member of the Audemars Piguet club.

My new watch arrived this morning having been delayed by weather on both sides of the Atlantic. I'm rather busy but of course made time to open the boxes quickly..... I will take it to be sized tomorrow, and then the stickers will awff!

My thanks to Darren Reay who sourced and delivered the watch BNIB. He has been a pleasure to deal with.

I'll be altering my signature soon!

Congratulations!! Wear it in good health. I remember the day I got my Royal Oak, and I haven't regretted the purchase in going on year.

It was a real pleasure to do business with Clive, a true gentleman and a man of his word!. Marco and myself look forward to feeding his habit in years to come :-)
