New to forum and AP

Hello

My name is Peter. I'm about to turn 43 so convinced myself and my wife that I couldnt live without this piece of AP.
FYI my wife have had the opportunity to see her husband celebration his own birthday with a new watch around 3-4 times every year for the last couples of years:-)

That Said ... I have to flip them to afford new ones, telling her everytime that this is a keeper... Her only comment is... Please...:-)

Anyway , starting with Tag Heuer, Omega, Panerai, Rolex, Iwc, Zenith and Rolexes again.
Never thought I would be able to afford an AP and when I tried on ROO's I found them too busy and Big.
When the Diver got released I tried it on and found it very very nice and clean.Still a lot of money for me at that time and there was a waiting list as well.
Two weeks ago my usual dealer had one on its way. A year old with b&p and both rubber and bracelet.
Atm I was very happy about my current Rolex polar 42mm and the 3 weeks old d Series gmt16710.
But , in my head It was the Diver , even dreaming about it... So decided to flip both Rolexes and the day after she was on my arm.
WHAT an amazing piece... It feels soo well made and my eyes continues to stumble upon a new and stunning angle of this watch...
She is a keeper... ;-)

Cheers

Thx for the warm welcome :-)

About the bracelet, I almost didnt go for it but I checked the price at the AD and realised this was now or never. I paid like 1/4msrp, thinking I could always sell it. I will not since It looks pretty Nice giving an entire different look than rubber. Since I now only have one watch I might appreciate the optionel looks:-)

Now I Will dig into your forum gallery and enjoy All of your gourgeous watches... That bumblebee is a catcher:-)

Cheers
