My First AP Experience
I went to a local AP AD while visiting my parents in Naples, FL today.I never saw an AP Royal Oak 15400 in person and had to try one on. Before I had seen it in person, I was skeptical of what others had seen in this watch. The pictures did not thrill my soul or create the I must have this - I NEED THIS! syndrome that I have been inflicted with when seeing other watches on line. As I took off my newly acquired Hulk and placed the silver dial RO on my wrist, I became enamored with this exquisite timepiece. The watch and I took to each other the way Thor and his hammer must have when they first met.Now, the dilemma has set in. I have found my grail (or maybe it has found me) and have to think about how I can eventually acquire one. I know that of the 4 Rolex watches I own, the EXP II would be the first to go. Then I am guessing that my PAM 048 would be next. That still is not enough to come close to financing my silver cloud grail.Oh the joy and agony of truly finding your grail and the

Now what?!?!? (Pic Heavy)
I'm on the hunt for the next watch (again) and hoping to add one more piece to the collection before the end of the year. I currently have the BLNR, a SS black dial Daytona, and an AP ROO (Black Themes). I think I want something on strap More importantly, got to be versatile even if it's on the dressy side (if that makes sense). I was on my way home from a business meeting and naturally, had to swing by an AD to see what they had. Plenty to look at and I had great time trying several pieces on. Thanks JoannaObviously, each is quite different, a large $$$ discrepancy between certain models, and each has something unique that makes it really standout. Oddly enough, the last one I tried on (the PP Travel Time) was the one that really stood out for me. Ironically, I tried it on just as I was about to walk out! Rubber was not something I was considering but everything about the watch just works in my opinion. Thoughts and suggestions welcome!

Good stock in Long Island
Stopped into London Jewelers in Southampton today. Had the sub, sub date, DSSD, polar explorer and all Milgauss models. Pretty light on DJ 41's though. Did not buy anything but good selection for members seeking one of these references.

Video is up, looks good, green is on the paler side though.https://.youtube/watch?v=Mx8v8x6-HUE

Missing my Sub more than I thought I would
A few weeks ago I picked up a 14060M Z-serial. It's a beautiful watch and I couldn't be happier, but it was running about +15 secs/day and had a couple of scratches on the bezel and crystal, so I wanted to get it serviced and repaired as needed. RSC said they had no record of it being serviced and there weren't any indications inside the case that it had been worked on before. It's a 10-year old watch, so it's probably time.Yesterday I dropped it off at RSC Dallas and less than 24 hours later I'm missing it on my wrist more than I thought I would. I'm currently wearing a Stowa Antea Klassik KS, which is a fine watch, but it's no 5-digit Sub, that's for sure :)No real point to this post, other than crying to you fine gents since my wife won't want to listen to me talk about how I miss a watch
