My first AP experience...
I was in NYC today and wandered into Wempe on 5th Ave and was drooling at everything in there. I have been lusting over royal oaks for a while and finally saw one in the flesh and had to try it on. All I can say is wow, I've been bitten by the bug.

Trust me, it doesn't get any better once the infection sets in. Go for it, that looks great

I think I was there at the same time. I tried on the Diver right after you. Nice selection. Check out the AP boutique at 57th and Park if you get the chance.

Being OC, I have been staring at my first AP.
I noticed the words Swiss Made at the six o'clock position is not perfectly aligned. Swiss is slightly lower than Made.
Is it my aging eyes or the words Swiss Made are not really aligned?
Thanks
