AP newbie questions
Hey guys,Sorry if these questions have already been asked but I'm new to AP with a growing interest. First of all, I'm a one watch guy, I have had my Yachtmaster for a while now and as of lately AP has caught my eye.First, I'm looking into 15202 and the 15400 with blue dials. Is this the best way to enter the AP world?Second, I know these are no Rolex, but how well do these refs handle an active lifestyle?Third, are the original AP rubber bands compatible with these? I like to throw the occasional rubber band to fly the watch under the radar.Any recommendations given my scenario?Thanks!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

First Boutique Visit...
Today, I had the pleasure of trying on the beautiful, gorgeous, stunning PAM 676. (Won't use any more adjectives) Today made a quick trip to NYC. Left 8:55 got there 10:10am First stop parking garage west 66th street. $25 bucks with coupon. Can't beat it! Then walked through lovely Central Park. By myself ofcoarse being the watch obsessed, investing wiz, warren buffet aspirant I am. Then the Panerai boutique! MY FIRST TIME! Then the very courteous associate allowed me to try on the new model PAM 676 and also the PAM 1312. Then they offered me the most amazing espresso and a bottled water to compliment the fine beverage. Although I didn't end up purchasing anything, which I did state as soon as I walked in the boutique as a courtesy to the associate. It was a fantastic day because my very good friend was selected by Patek Phillipe for an interview as a watchmaker. So now it's round 2 for him! At the end of the meet up, him and another business connection met up and we ate Chick-fil-a.

just bought the 116618LB .. very excited..
Well, after wanting this watch for decades, I decided to sell my GMT II, and some gold bullion and get this beauty.. I don't have pics, as the AD is shipping it to my honolulu address tomorrow.. I was torn between the black dial, and the blue... but that blue is so beautiful, even if a bit bling bling.. I was also torn as to get the GMT in YG, but it just doesn't feel as nice in the hand for me.I'm curious though why on the official USA Rolex website they say Price on request seems odd, no?

Adding a 214270
Decision time! I am thinking about adding a 214270 and leaning more to the MK2 side than MK1... So I've been to 2 ADs hoping to try on a MK2 but no luck on that, in fact they barely have any SS sport models in stock. Anyone know of any dealers in the LA area that have a MK2 in stock? Any kind of discount can be had on the 214270? TIA!
