Last time when I bought a rolex and the seller shipped it to the wrong address and I had to track it and pick it up from the holding area, but I was able to get it same day. The seller has been helping me to try and get it shipped tmr. Crossing fingers. Lost sleep over nothing last night haha. Looks like another sleepless night. Hopefully I'll have something to post tomorrow.

Today's the day! Waiting for them to open so I can pick it up. I'm usually not up this early, but it's been hard to sleep this whole weekend.

She's finally home! Been a long long weekend... probably the only time where I wanted the weekend to end sooner. Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome into the AP club and big thanks to Sohail for a great deal and calling UPS the entire weekend to make sure it arrived safely. Onto the pics!

Had the biggest smile on my face when the UPS guy handed me the box.




even the box looks so nice...


and here she is...


and of course a couple wrist shots.




Didn't realize how much wrist presence APs had. I love the weight and the size of it. Even though I didn't have the watch yet, I already went into an AD this weekend and ordered the singapore F1 strap with tang buckle.

Thanks again everyone! I have a bad feeling that this was the opening of Pandora's box for AP's... but then again, I say that each time I get a new piece.

But I gotta say, AP does put quite a bit of detail in their work.

Agreed! I want to get a diver on it as well, but the wife would only let me order one strap while we were there. It is definitely on my list however.

Quick question for you guys. When I ordered the strap, should I have ordered the plots as well? The lady told me that I can use it from the bracelet, but I don't see how I would be able to after looking at the watch now.

It was definitely worth the wait! I'm just glad I didn't have to wait longer haha.

Yes, you need to order the plots for the straps.
