It is worth the wait!
Thank you everyone who gave me advice here. After contemplating on several models for weeks, I've made my decision this past weekend. Gotta admit, choosing only one AP is not easy. Each reference have something unique to offer. But this particular reference is the one that caught my attention when I first got introduced to AP, and it has everything that I'm looking for in a SS watch. Unfortunately, it's a discontinued model so none of the ADs in town have it when I finally made my decision. When I was out of town this past weekend. I happen to visit an AD. When I walked in, I immediately saw it in the display. I knew right away that this could be the day I've been waiting for. Once again, I've tried on the other options that I've been considering. Luckily they have pretty much all my other options in stock. After trying them on one by one, side by side, I knew that this is the one. No discounts. No freebies. But they offered a beverage and gave me an amazing customer service. IMG_383

New Look For PO
Hi guys Got myself a new strap for my 42mm PO.I know how you all like pictures so I thought I'd share...Ordered this direct from Austria...IMG_1559.JPGHirsh Jumper Black Croc with orange stitch. Came with a tool & new spring bars.IMG_1560.JPGI fancied a new look without spending a small fortune. I sent the PO for a service and it came back all lovely & polished but after a couple of months the clasp's starting to show signs of wear, IMG_1562.JPGThis is my first attempt to change straps. The tool was the wrong size but I managed to get the bracelet off with a bit of fiddling.IMG_1563.JPGGetting the new strap on was pretty easy, although I did put it on the wrong way round at first & had to swap it back round again!!IMG_1564.JPGWorn it for the rest of the day and could hardly take my eyes off it, Almost like having a whole new watch..I love the orange stitching, it's nearly an exact match to the bezel in the right lightAnyway sorry for the long post, hope you enjoy the pics.

My First Rolex Purchase | Any Advice Much Appreciated
Hello everyone, this is my first ever post on this forum and any advice/opinions will be taken on board. I put a deposit on a 2016 no date submariner last week and will be going to finally see it and possibly collect it depending if I'm happy with everything. I'm based in a small town in Australia so I'm travelling to see this watch. Due to the market in Australia at the moment and limited supply been sold I''m paying a very high premium for this piece, it's from a well recongised second hand dealer. A few things I want to ask:Is it to late to negoitate the final price that was on the website? I quickly rushed into throwing a deposit down because they are selling like hotcakes and didn't want to miss out. Secondly been my first rolex I really wanted to have a complete set, meaning manuals and outer white box/swing tag. Just because it would be nice and something Id like. I believe it only comes with the Green box and warranty papers, Apart of me feels like for the price I'm paying thes
