First Post, First AP!
Hey All,

I took the plunge and am getting my first AP. I am too excited to be obtaining one of my dream watches so early in collecting. I fell in love with the Offshore the first time I saw a relative's rg offshore.

Look forward to updating this thread in the future , but for now you guys can guess what I am cutting my teeth with!

For a clue, my current collection in order of purchase includes a Super Ocean Heritage (Limited Green edition), Ball Engineer II (Arabic), and datejust 36m

I remember first seeing the RG RC in Selfridges and it just blew me away, never dreamed back then of owning such a watch. You're in for a great ride, enjoy it!
