I used to regard the Rolex Oysterlink bracelet as the world standard for a super comfortable and very stylish bracelet. This blows the Oyster bracelet out of the water!

Also the watch isn't top heavy at all. The bracelet is WG too, but weights a fraction of the watch body... Yet there is no top heavy feeling on the wrist, as there is on my wrist from the lovely DSSD (biggest reason I sold mine).

I don't know what exactly makes a 241gramme watch this comfortable, but I can imagine the large "AP" hinge on the bracelet could stabilize the watch on my wrist, as it's not letting the bracelet links move that much.

Just to clear what I'm talking about:

I was the same. Didn't think they had it on for example Rolex. But the design, attention to detail, and the amount of details I find on my watch is above Rolex for sure IMHO.

The dial is a work of art.

Congrats on a very nice and very stealthy AP!

For obvious reasons I agree with your taste for ROC It's kid brother says hello...

So it's soon 2 weeks since I got my first AP.

Not my last I may add, and I think this is the keeper and even grail? watch I've been looking for.

I couldn't be more pleased with it.

It's away right now, it's at the AD getting appraised for my insurance company (makes sense doesn't it? ) And I miss it!

I'll get it back tomorrow though... It's gonna be a long wait.

AP's are something different, but it takes a while to get a grip on it, I still haven't gotten to grips with all of it's beauty, but I'm sure I will, as hopefully my first AP and I still have a lot of time together.
