Incoming! First AP
Hey guys, just ordered my first AP and should get it in a couple weeks. It was an impulse buy after watching APs online. I just fell in love with the 41mm ROC with black dial.
After debating with myself for a while between the 15202 and the ROC, I ended up choosing the ROC, and this was no easy decision. Even after sending the funds to the seller I still had my doubts, and from what I've read here in the forum, there's not much love for the ROC and there's plenty for the Jumbo. I love that the jumbo represents classic AP design, it's really a stunner, but I felt maybe it was a little dressier for me and the ROC fits more my lifestyle. Now my current collection consists of a SubC, an Explorer II 42mm, Speedmaster 3572.50 and the AP ROC, all black dials. I'll post pictures when I get it, for the mean time I'll share this two I found on line that were partly responsible for the itch.

That is a great choice! My first AP was an ROC with a blue dial. I loved that watch.

I never have been fond of the Royal Oak line, but that's a very beautiful watch, which, if it didn't cost almost as much as my car, I'd be proud to wear.

I don't know about anyone else but I love it and I'm sure you will. Once it's on your wrist I think your other pieces will gather dust, for a while.

If there ever was any other watch that can go from dressy to sporty effortlessly... I can't think of one... :D

wow it just arrived and I am pumped. I got it used and it has a few marks and what not, but for just about half price it is fine by me!
When you get the watch serviced by a service center do they do any touch ups? |

Congrats on the watch. Can you post photos? I would think that when it's serviced they leave it as new. At least that what other brands do. |
