My first AP & loving it
Got my first AP today, just in time for the new sub-forum :) I've been really intrigued by AP and all the AP enthusiasts in TRF definitely got me more interested in the brand and their watches.
I wanted to add a chronograph to my small collection as I've never had a chrono before, and after seeing the panda ROC in the forums I knew that was the one, and once I saw it in person at an AD I knew there was no turning back...and that it's a matter of time before I own one. And today I finally own my very own AP ROC - my first AP and actually my first white dial watch. I won't go into much details about this watch since it's familar to many of you, but I will say that this watch is a great size for my wrist, love the thickness of the watch (I like that it's slightly thicker than the 15300), and although it doesn't have a display back, I think the ROC has one of the nicest solid casebacks around. And I can look at the bracelet all day. Very excited and just thought I'd share a few photos with everyone. Cheers, James

Thanks everyone! I don't have a big collection but hopefully I'll still give wrist time to my other 2 watches now that I have the AP :) Will have to see.
And I'm normally very particular about accuracy of my watches, and thought I might be bothered by the non-hacking movement. But with everything else going for the ROC I can say that the non-hacking doesn't bother me at all

I must say the AP white dial is amazing and that's why I never had a white dial watch until now. I also like that the dial changes to almost a silver colour in certain lighting. The JLC sunburst dial is another that I like a lot. |

I love that watch. It's the AP I will get when I finally move on it. That dial, that watch. Very, very cool.

Is it bad that I'm thinking of swapping my Daytona for a ROC?

I've been having legibility issues with my Daytona (like Paul) and the ROC seems like it has better contrast and a date to boot! I love the bright blue dial. I've got to find one to try on.
