Just bought my 1st AP - and have a few questions
Hello everyone,Very happy to join the forums!My name is Larry and I just picked up my first AP.Which is also my first high end time piece.It's a stainless steel 44mm ROOI'm learning a lot from browsing the forums, but still have some questions I'm trying to get answered. So hoping someone more knowledgable can help me out.My first question is about the lume.Out of the box the watch appears to have none.It only glows after I hold it to direct light for a bit.If I wear it during the day, it doesn't glow at night....only if I charge it by holding it up to a light.

I've tried the 116610 LN at my AD quite awhile back and felt nothing.What is it about the sea dweller? I'm sure I'd love the SD 43 50th Anniversary no doubt as well ...

Slimmer lugs and Great wrist presence too !!! I don't understand what's happening, I think my tastes could be changing... I still think the Bluesy is a great watch , maybe I might be toning down my flavor as I get older ... I thought it's supposed to be the other wa

14060 for 114060
Have been thinking about it for one year now and finally pulled the trigger on moving my 114060 for a 14060 (box + papers as well!). I am loving the 5 digit reference and look forward to continuing in this crazy world of Rolex

Trying on a few grails...
Picked up a D-Blue today and thought I'd try on a few grails at the AD again. I've never taken the PM Rolex plunge, but I want to really badly after this visit:
