Incoming... first AP

Just picked up my first AP from Thanh aka takuya and couldn’t be happier with both the watch, and the transaction! Really enjoying the Ref# 26470SO.OO.A002CA.01, and plan on wearing it as my sporty piece. Eventually I’ll add whatever replaces the 15400 next. I have to say after moving up from Rolex to AP, I don’t find myself lusting after any Rolex watches anymore.

Nice pickup. I like the red touches on the dial and outer edge of the strap.

Congratulations!!!

Thanks guy! I’m super happy with it, and am surprised it’s not more popular.

It looks really great,
Do you also have Dome photos where the sun shines on the watch?

That's one beautiful AP ROO. Looks great on you. I don't have the wrist to pull one off unfortunately.

it's an excellent piece! To your question, why isn't it more popular...I think it is but it has not been that available even though it was released almost a year ago. I did see one in the Vegas boutique back in early Nov and I tried it on...it was stunning! Many, many congrats!

Congratulations!
This is one of the very few watches that looks extremely hardcore motorsport.
It goes very well with your BMW M2.

Congratulations and great choice! I tried this on along with the Grey Ghost when both first became available in October, and much preferred this one. This would be on the top of my list if I were to get a a 42mm Offshore!

Congratulations, what a beautiful watch.

I tried this on at Louis Black in Toronto a few weeks ago. What a stunning piece. It would have come home with me if had the wrist to pull it off. 6 inch wrists are terrible when you have big hands and big forearms.

Congrats great piece. I was very tempted myself with that piece and fully agree about the Rolex lust is gone now that I have been wearing my AP also.
