Another incoming thread...sort of

A new baby at home coupled with a busy work schedule really cuts down on Rolex Forum time...I know I owe Thomas (TSW) and Connor (Steelerfan65) some wrist shots, which I am terrible at by the way.

I picked up my first AP (Diver) back in June. I was thrilled to be in the club.

I've always had a weakness for white dial chronographs and I have tried on the Safari while in Vegas a couple of times - I just loved it. I never thought I would be able to add it this soon.

So a few weeks back I was able to add the Safari...

Thanks again to DavidSW for another wonderful piece!

The bad news...heading back to Vegas shortly...looking to shop for something 44mm or finally get to try on the white 15400...wish me luck!

Thanks guys...

I'm thinking my next short term AP move will be the SS bracelet.

I've seen a few pictures here and I think it would give both watches a great secondary "look".
