Incoming ROC & bracelet sizing notes
Just got my hands on my first AP and it's everything I expected and more!

There was enough contact with the screw head and enough torque, there wasn't any need to heat up the factory loctite.

I remember showing my new watch to a very good friend of my fathers, and I asked him what he was wearing and he said ‘Patek Philippe’. Now at the time that meant nothing more to me than my fathers name was Phillip and he joked with me saying it was named after my dad (and I never forgot that). Fast forward 8 years to college when I bought my first Rolex Sub (saved every penny) and over the next 20 years o
