Ticket to AP JoyRide ... FOUND !!!
Dear all,

I have been silently following the proceedings on this forum for a while ! .. and have finally found my ticket for the joyride

A Huge Thanks to Adam Craniotes for helping me choose the AP that best suits my tastes ... and to Matt.Wu for helping me find one .. !
The moment I strapped it on, I was in love .. The Forged Carbon Diver is just so handsome !!! [ it glows like a dream in sunlight .. ], the ceramic bezel is the best I ve ever seen and the level of finishing on the dial is just phenomenal ..

Here are a few quick and dirty shots from yesterday evening ... A more detailed pictorial will follow in a while.

Cheers
nishant

Very nice. Did you get it at Tyson's Corner, or through a private dealer?

There were 4 players involved in the deal two of whom were private dealers :) .. I seem to trust dealers@TRF much more. Plus, I dont think Tyson's Corner had the FC in stock the last two times I visited.
I almost bought the FC from DavidSW [a great great guy !] before this deal came about .. still feeling a little guilty about it.

Now that's why your trusty DSSD was on sale!

Big congrats, Nishant! This is a sport watch grail of mine, hopefully I some day grow the cojones to pull the trigger on one!

Cheers,

Patrick
