Incoming AP Elephant
Well I finally bit the bullet and pulled the trigger on an AP that I was thinking about for a long long time. Needless to say I am super excited to finally be adding the AP to my stable of watches.

thanks everyone for the advice over the many months / years checking out AP i appreciate all of the help.

Without further ado here is a wrist shot!

That's a great first AP! Mine might have been the RGRC which had a similar grey dial so I'm a fan.

I also ordered the grey rubber strap to go with it, how difficult is it to change bracelets?

Pretty simple... two 1.4mm screwdrivers, a tang buckle tool, and, you're all set. Only takes a few mins for the swap over.

Nice but then I'm a fan of AP grey dials

Shame they don't do the GP for the 42mm case as that would really suit this model.

I have to say it wears very big for a 42mm watch.

I love my 44Ti but there is something about the SS bezel against the dial, I just know I'd mark the hell out of it if I owned one.

And agree think it will look cool on the grey rubber strap.

Thanks Ken, needless to say it was a lot of your beautiful AP shots that pushed me over the edge, even though it wasn't this exact model
