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.

Here are some pictures of my new baby
