15202 - I hate myself
I bought a 15450 ST 6 months ago and was very happy with it. Went to Orchard road today and wife suggested that I check out AP boutique while she does her shopping. I was not planning to buy anything but just asked if they had a 15202. I have probably asked that question 50 times over the past 12 months and always got a NO. But not today....Long story short, once I tried it on, I was hooked. This reference is amazing. Thank you to all the enablers out there (Ken, Gus, Mikegp, James, Michael...). Now I need to check if I got 8 dots or 9 dots uploadfromtaptalk1405152109414.jpguploadfromtaptalk1405152141788.jpg

If you could only have one of the AP Royal Oak Offshore Chrono 44mm...
Looking at my next grail and I have narrowed it down to the AP Royal Oak Offshore Chrono 44mm that was introduced in 2011. I start out wanting the SS version then there were threads on the CF version and my mind was fixed on getting a carbon fiber variant. But now after seeing more threads on the RG version I think I found the sweet spot. (note to self, stop reading these AP incoming threads LOL). Would like to know what my fellow TRFers would choose if it came down to this watch and in which metal and why.

Omega "Targa Florio" Chronograph
I picked up this Omega Chronograph about a year ago, but only got round to taking pics recently. I had long been attracted to Chronographs in general, especially vintage/semi-vintage ones.The Targa Florio is a Limited Edition version of Omega's 'Dynamic Chronograph' line, and was issued in 1999. They said it was a tribute to the last Targa Florio auto race held in 1973. The Targa Florio was the worlds oldest sports car racing event. It was an open road/endurance race held in the mountains near Palermo, Sicily, and a version is now held as a rallying event.This is watch # 16#9 of 1973 in this limited edition.
