In love with my new AP
Finally my AP grail has arrived guys . I've had my AP safari for nearly a year now, although I loved it very much, i wanted to try something more "playful". Thanks to the neanderthal watch guru (aka Kilyung ) whose pics have enabled me too much . I've finally pulled to trigger to flip my safari. Here's the pics, hope you'll like them.

Really?!? Is it going to be replaced with a ceramic version after only a 4 yr run? It was never a big volume seller so I don't imagine there are many of them out there.

Many congrats on this piece, I must admit I like the safari more as I feel it's more versatile and it has more class.
