Icon6 Roc Boys in the building tonight!

It has been a long time coming. I've admired AP from afar for quite some time now and after coming close a couple times over the past year, I finally pulled the trigger. I am the proud owner for my first AP, a Royal Oak Chrono! I can't even begin to describe how beautiful this watch is. We all know the dial is mesmerizing, but the craftsmanship on the bracelet is just superb. I love how the brushed and polished parts catch the light as it almost dances on the wrist. I've attached a wrist shot below, more to come once I stop over it.

Only one problem though. I've had this bad boy for about 6 hours now and I'm already figuring out which AP to buy next!

Oh well, looks like it's time to hunt down a Titanium Schumi.

P.S. Many thanks to MB23 for coming through in the clutch and getting me a great deal after the ADs failed to deliver.

Congrats! It's always cool to see folks "get it" after owning their first AP. It's really something better experienced than explained.

Always love ROC! Congrats on the "wrong move" (from your wallet's perspective)!
