APROO Strap change help
Hello all,I need some help. I have an APROO Grey Themes Titanium on a bracelet. Just love it. While at the boutique I picked up a rubber and a grey horn back straps for it.

My Wife's Royal Oak back from APSC!
I just received my wife's watch back from AP. They fixed the clasp and replaced the battery. The watch came back with the time set 5 minutes behind. Well, it is what it is. Here are some pics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk. Watches are the new currency!

Incoming...first Rolex!
Hey TRF crew. Allow me to humor you all with the journey of how my first Rolex ended up on my wrist today. If you just want to see the pic, you're of course welcome to scroll down.Now I have to admit, unlike so many here who have always had a fascination or deep appreciation for watches, my desire to own a great timepiece is really something that bubbled up only the past few years. I can't recall the exact moment, but it was a combination of factors like wanting to have a meaningful and tangible heirloom to pass down to my (eventual) child that has been with me through the journey of life. On a more personal level, 2017 was an incredibly tough and challenging time. It was also the year I turned 35, and I wanted to get a watch that was tough, resilient and reliable; all attributes I strive to own in my personal and professional life.
