Got my first AP! (With some poorly taken pics)
After 5 years of flipping watches.. finally got enough scratch together to get the first of my Grail watches. I am now the proud owner (Thanks to Matt.Wu on the forums, fantastic gent, who i'd refer to anyone) of a AP 15400 Silver/White Dial.Couldn't be happier.

Beater next and then back to working toward the next.. probably a V&C RG Patrimony.Pics attached (Please disregard the mustard on the sleeve - do not eat a Ruben before posting!)

Well rounded and that 5208P , just wow! https://youtu.be/tjylr-KEMG8Interesting to see what a well worn 5712 looks like! serious respect for this guy.
