I hate you guys!

The Royal Oak books are with FedEx on it's way to you! I know I could have e-mailed you guys but here is the reason for my post. While at the AP boutique I had one goal and that was to pick up 3 books and leave! Due to my weakness for horology and the lovely Manuela enticing me by commenting on my Yacht-Master I was tricked into trying on two pieces of which I almost purchased one on the spot! Looks like my short list has been modified and one of these will have to be added soon! Damn you guys! My 1655 dreams are slowly fading away!

Nice photos Sam! Seems like we tried on the same watch today

Thanks for sharing!

eric23 · 23 March 2012, 07:50 AM

Great photos! I love that Rose Gold Rubber Clad!

FremStar · 23 March 2012, 07:52 AM

Carl, words nor pictures can describe the beauty of the 57th street AP (limited to only 250 pieces)

kilyung · 23 March 2012, 08:09 AM

Oh my... I'd hate me too. You're a better man than I. In my younger days, I would have walked out with both those watches and Manuela's phone number.

HL65 · 23 March 2012, 08:50 AM

Very nice Sam!! Thanks for sharing. It is always fun going into AP NYC!! I like to hit them all when I am there! Drool city!

dalip · 23 March 2012, 09:09 AM

Hahahaha hey boss, any purchases like this must be cleared with my boss aka Mrs. FremStar, I love the air I breathe so let's see how the conversations go!

HL65 · 23 March 2012, 10:09 AM

Oh how I wish I was there!! Instead I have been stuck at a long boring Director meeting in Columbus Ohio!!

At least I have my iPad with me!!

Enjoy!!

FremStar · 23 March 2012, 10:58 AM

Whatever it takes to keep the company profitable!

As long as you have one of your toys on your wrist the meetings shouldn't be too boring ;-)

rosspanics · 23 March 2012, 12:25 PM

Thanks Sam! Look forward to getting the book!

B. Doggy · 23 March 2012, 01:02 PM

Just go for it! You'll never look back. I'm a quasi-flipper and the AP is still my favorite after 6 months. For me that's a big deal anyway.

That rubber RS gold is nice.

Thomas I must admit that you are a true AP connoisseur! Thank goodness for the AP sub-forum now I can easily view your threads! The 57th street is a fine example

Thank you Sam, The only problem there's ......Too many models i want

dddrees · 26 March 2012, 05:11 AM

Sounds like we need to revoke somebodies WIS card.

However since it is Sam maybe we should give him a second chance.

Save yourself Sam, hurry on back to the AD and get those beauties.

Great PICs and watches thanks for sharing.

Hahahahahaha Very funny Dan. Those types of impulse purchases without consulting the wife can land a chap like me in some serious trouble

No worries on sharing the pics!

Your so right Sam. Besides one has to remember she may actually be able to take away whatever you thought you had just got, and whatever you may have thought you owned prior as well.

Very scary indeed.

I think we may have to just forgive you and let you keep your WIS card after all.
