First Post - First AP!



Greetings from Toronto!

I have always been a 1-watch guy until I finally caved in to my baser desires... the results speak for themselves. Now the SD sleeps peacefully in a watch-winder until I (ever) find a reason to wear it again.

Not looking to buy again anytime soon, but where to go from here? What do other AP owners go to scratch their itch? ... PP 5980/1A?

Congrats! Love that FC 44!

That's such a loaded question!

Wear it a little, you'll find the answer(s) very quickly :)

In with a bang!

For your next watch go to the ADs often, that's your new playground.

I must say that the AP blows the Rollie out of the water looks wise. It looks uber futuristic. Congrats and ENJOY!
