My first AP and tour of the AP Service Center
First off I would like to thank all of you enabler's here at TRF. I really love my Rolexes but reading the posts about APs fine timepieces really got me interested. That combined with great trusted seller's here I found one at a price I could not resist. 23% off retail with full factory warranty. So I bought the piece from addy616 a trusted seller here. As I posted in the Who's Who forum it was an absolutely outstanding buying experience. I needed to get it sized so he suggested since I live in Tampa to swing by the Clearwater service center. It's the only one in the northern hemisphere and they take in all new watches from Switzerland to inspect before they go to the AD's to be sold retail as well as do routine service and repairs for all the APs in North and South America. So I called them and set an appointment and the rest is just amazing. From the moment I arrived they treated me like royalty. Coffee, water and a personal inspection of my new AP. They sized it for me pres

UK AP & Golf fans only - Ambassadors Cup Day
AP holds an annual Ambassadors Cup golf day each year. This year the event is being held at the stunning Sunningdale Golf Club and Ian Poulter will be on hand for some or all of the day and I believe there is also a nice dinner too! This is an exclusive invite only AP event and the date is Tuesday 21st May. In the past there have also been a few AP branded golf items for the winning teams.I was originally invited as just a single place but I now have the opportunity to make up a four ball. Does anyone on this forum play golf? - I don't mean 'pitch and put' and I certainly don't mean can you get round a course in around 200!If this is something where you could be 100% reliable to be a part of my four ball, would love to spend a day talking AP and golf and would love to meet Ian Poulter then please respond to my thread. This is a fantastic offer for a true AP fan and golfer. Thanks, Ashley.

GMT... TT vs TT...
GMT is at the top of my want list right now and can't decide, need your guys help... do I go with the older 116713LN (yg/ss/black dial/green text + gmt hand) or the newer 126711CHNR Rootbeer? I'm genuinely torn as the 116713LN was something I'd wanted for ages- I just love that green text and gmt hand against the black dial-, but the new Rootbeer has seriously piqued my interest now- I love black and brown. At first I wasn't sure about everose (rose gold) with stainless, but it has really grown on me, plus I don't think the brown/black bezel would work with yellow gold. My dream GMT is the 116718LN, but is much past my budget for the time being... wonder what sort of discount an AD could offer on that one... Anyways, help me decide, guys! FWIW, I was told October for the new TT GMT- I'm happy to wait until then if that's the one I decide on... as of right now it's a perfect 50/50, they're both so great!

Number of Links in Rolex Date
Hello everyone,I finally traded up from my Air King to a 18k gold/steel Rolex Date. The model number is 15203, which I am pretty sure means that the bracelet is Oyster 72190 (someone please correct me if I am wrong) It was produced in the year 2000.Doe anyone know how many links it should come with? I am noticing that it fits a little tighter than my Air King did, and when I look at the bracelet, it looks uneven to me. I am also not sure what counts as a full link?? I have researched online for hours and I have seen a couple different diagrams and lists, and I was just curious if anyone knows the definite number of links that should have come with this watch. I am starting to think that I was shorted 1.Thanks for any help! I can post a pic if that would help!
