Incoming!!!

Hello All!

I just wanted to share my experience with becoming an AP owner. Ever since I joined this wonderful group I was constantly being wowed by everyone's wonderful timepieces. I had only owned Rolex prior to this purchase. Moving forward I wanted to expand my collection to other brands.

Because of this site I was able to meet quite a few wonderful people, specifically Mr. H! He has become a wealth of information to me. After speaking with him and him always wearing an AP I knew I wanted one! Now the question was what to get. I really liked Mr. H's Diver and his ROO. However this was going to be my first purchase I wanted something more subtle. Mr. H then pulled out his 15300! I was wowed, I love the simple yet distinguishing look. With that said we both visited the local AD to compare the 15300 vs the new 15400 as I was unsure about the 39 vs 41 on my wrist. After talking it thru and and Mr. H's wonderful emails and pics of his wrist I would like to say I am the proud owner of............................................1530 0 w/ Black dial!






Thank you MR. H for all your help! I am so happy with my first AP... Also want to thank DavidSW for helping find this!

Thank you for all the flattering comments but there's no need to thank me. I am glad I was able to help you along the way. You made a great choice and coming from DavidSW you could've not made a better purchase.

Welcome to the AP Owners Club!!! Bienvenido amigo!!!
