NWD (new watch day) :)

Hello boys and girls,
First of all sorry for opening a new thread but this is exciting!!!!!

Just wanted you to know that today I am SUPER HAPPY for the reason that this baby arrived..

Just to let you know that, in Cyprus there are no AP dealers of ANY kind and I have only ordered the safari out of pure enjoyment of watching its photos online and the various reviews (yes i know its silly, but its one of those times that when a watch grows into you, then you HAVE to own it!)

Anyway, all that i have to say is that this watch is UNBELIEVABLE, every 5 minutes I tend to look at it and believe me its not because I want to know what time is it, but because this piece is amazing.

So, if anyone is thinking about buying a safari, then DO IT.
The creme bezel alongside with the brown strap is absolutely stunning and it sometimes fool you between a sport watch and a suit watch.. it is simply a perfect balance!

needless to say that, officialy, AP is no.1 (at least for me)


Anything you need to know about it or any HQ pics then dont hesitate to message!

Thats a fantastic looking watch, can I ask what size your wrist is as its one of the first wrist pics that don't make the watch look too big (top to bottom).

to be honest, at my perspective it looks like any others', and i personally feel it big and chunky (that's the way its supposed to be anyway)

Congrats on the Safari! Seeing yours makes me want to switch back to the original brown strap from the bracelet I currently have on mine. The cream white dial and that strap is just killer, and reminds me of why I fell in love with it in the first place.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. And I agree, AP is #1 to me as well.

Wear it often, wear it well. Most of all, wear it with love. There is nothing that catches the eye like an AP (to me, anyways haha)
