new addition - Forged carbon 44mm AP
For a long time I had been looking at Audemars's collection online but never had a chance to try one on. About a month ago I bought my first AP Volcano without trying it on, and really fast I fell in love with Offshores. I knew I will add another one very quick but couldn't decide on which one to add. There are so many nice ones, Bumblebee, Diver, SS 44mm, RG 44mm and FC 44mm. I flew to Vegas last weekend to try new Chronographs and finally made my choice - Forged Carbon. I have WG, RG, YG, SS, bronze, titanium, composite, ceramic pieces in my collection so I thought I must add Forged Carbon piece next. Especially thanks to Phil and Thomas for helping me make my decision. Not sure how many Forged Carbon lovers are here on forum, but you must see it and try it to really appreciate it. Here are some pictures of my new baby

My first and only Omega in my collection
I have always been a true Rolex collector for the longest time but I do admire and appreciate many other watch brands out there. About a year ago, I was able to acquire my first and only Omega in my collection and to this day, I still love it. It's durability and quality is just fantastic. Here are some pics of my only Omega: hennabav.blogspot/

Rolex Dealer in Panama Airport
I'm on vacation from California and flew into Panama today, and was surprised to see an AD in the airport. Any benefit to purchase from a dealer in Panama? you think it would be cheaper or just no taxes? Pretty good selection there too.
