Out with the old and .....
In with the new.
Well after 7 yrs of ownership I have let my faithful, trusty old RC go. This is the watch that got me into AP and I thought it would be a keeper.  However times change & things move on. I have been having a bit of a shake up with my small collection over the last ten months mainly trying to thin out a few pieces which I haven't worn in a while and add a few newer higher end pieces. I am really pleased with the direction things are going in with AP as a brand and the opportunity presented itself late last week to get my hands on a piece I really wanted since it's release. I grasped the opportunity without hesitation and moved out a few pieces including my RC to add this beauty to my wrist. First wrist shot driving home  The finish on the ceramic is amazing, the orange accents work extremely well IMO, the weight on the wrist seems perfect and having the display back is an added bonus. This thing is awesome!   I think this watch is going to get a lot of wrist time, it's the perfect casual watch for me - well at the moment, hope I enjoy it as much as I did the RC.

Great choice, a personal favourite! I like the ceramic line from AP. I haven't seen any available where I live. I had to go with Forged Carbon.
