New Watch Alert *incoming*
How goes it ladies and gents? I recently picked up my very first serious watch and wanted to share my excitement with some fellow watch lovers. Ive owned the watch for roughly a month at this point. I was too busy enjoying it to make a post! Anyway, lets get to it. -
Ive been saving my pennies for sometime now. I turned 23 about 2 weeks ago and felt like it was the right time to treat myself to something nice. I initially was planning on grabbing a stainless steel Rolex Dayton. I still plan on adding one into my collection in the future, but I stumbled across an AP RO 39mm (ref. 15300) and fell in love. Im absolutely ecstatic about my purchase, and feel like I got a pretty good deal! Here are a few pictures for you guys. Id love to hear opinions and any feedback is welcome! One last shot of a friends ROO vs my RO |

Thanks for all the kind words fellas! - Couldn't be happier with my choice. Seems like everyone I know has has a Rolex of some kind.. Not to discredit the brand by any means. Id still love to acquire one ASAP, but My AP stands out in the pack, no question.

But hate is such a strong word! :/ - From the looks of it, you have some pretty amazing watches in your collection. Watches that put my 15300 to shame! Hopefully my age doesn't affect this thread too much. Ive work very hard, spent a lot of time playing in the stock market, and been blessed to have little living costs (at the moment) to be able to obtain this piece. I know kids my age with a lot more, and kids with a lot less. I feel blessed to be able to play with the big boys at such a young age. Thanks man! - I didnt want to go with the typical Sub as a first watch, so I held out and kept saving for something I personally think is a special watch. |

Congratulations. Wonderful reference.
Mind the bracelets next to your watch - unless you do t mind the scratches on the finely brushed case sides |

Very nice!
I'm 23 aswell and bought my 15300 about a month ago. Still getting it serviced before I see it for the first time. The wait is killing me! |
