Incoming. Special edition AP RO: The "Ironman"

Look at the color...the attention to detail.

It's a little large on my son, but he'll grow into it.

No AD experience but quick shipping and great service. $12.00 USD on Amazon. I had David SW looking for months, but the elusive red on red dial and strap configuration was not easy to find.

Oh...No discount! ;-)

Wow! Red sapphire case with a red ceramic bazel. Your son got a steal.

Congrats! This are the little things in life that make a difference. I am sure both of you will enjoy it.

Actually, the company really paid attention to many AP details. Hexagonal Bezel, screw placement, crown guards ala diver/42mm chronic...even got the crown shape. :-)

Anyway, all in good fun!
