My first experience with Ap

Well i would like to thank all the enablers here that posted all their juicy pics of their beautiful Ap's. Well I moved out two of my watches to fund this stunning timepiece. The fit and finish is amazing as is the imense wrist presence.

Special thanks to my friend David SW for another flawless transaction.

On with the pics

Huge congrats!!

Looks great on you!
What pieces did you let go to get the Diver?
I really want one as well but would mean letting one of my Rolex go plus cash to get it. Tough decision and pics like yours only make it worse.

It would be a SS model plus cash.
The 18k GMT is a keeper for sure.
Looks great on you as well.
