Icon10 Made the jump to AP

Hi all,

So as the title states, I finally did it, after working hard hours day in day out, I thought I'd treat myself on my 22 birthday, so I purchased a Royal Oak, and I must say, beautiful watch! They looked amazing when i was drooling staring aim magazines, but now that its on my wrist, I'm finally content that AP is for me!

What do you guys think?

Thanks fellas, just a question, do APs not have a second hand hack when setting the time or is it just this model(cal2385)?

It really depends on the movement. The cal.2385 is an ébauche. It's the fully integrated column wheel Federic Piguet cal.1185. Here's a great article on the movement.

Congrats. That is a great accomplishment for age 22. I hope you keep it forever and never trade it to remember this great first accomplishment. I wish I would have kept my first real watch purchase.
