New member here. Long-time lurker, first time posting. I'm ready to pull the trigger on my very first AP (daily I'm sporting an IWC Yacht Club and on occasion I rock my JLC Master Calendar). I have an awesome feeling it won't be the last :)I've got a milestone birthday coming up towards the end of the month and I'm finally ready to move forward with a purchase.For those who have walked the road I'm about to travel, I'm kindly asking for some direction.
