Oh man, are those two beautiful timepieces! That AP is too friggin' cool for words - I've never seen that exact model, and haven't seen a lot of those on straps. That one is really stunning - I love the black dials - along with the red accents they really make that watch pop. Congrats!

Man that's a nice watch.
So does it wear smaller than the 233? Where did you buy it? An AD here in Chicago?

Yea, it wears smaller than the 233 in my opinion. It's a little heaver, but overall wears smaller. I got it from an out of state AD, I don't buy anything in Illinois because I don't want to get hit w/the sales tax. The only AD in Illinois for AP is Swiss Fine Timing, though a couple of the jeweler's row shops carry AP. I'll try pieces on locally, but it's just not worth paying the sales tax, especially when you are talking a watch as expensive as an AP.

Yea, I would never pay MSRP for a watch. If you're a good negotiator, you should be able to get pretty close to what grey dealers are selling for.
