First AP: Royal Oak or RO Chrono?
I am thinking about picking up my first AP. I have long been a Panerai Collector and am thinking about venturing into the world of AP. I thought I wanted a ROO at first, but after looking at a bunch, I have decided that I like the clean lines of the normal Royal Oak or RO chrono. I understand that the Chrono does not have an in house movement, and I can live with that since I am used to the Older Panerai's having the same thing. I am a bit torn between the 41mm black dial Royal Oak and the same black dial Chrono. Any opinions or suggestions? Thanks in Advance.Jordan

AP 15300ST Back from New England
As it is now a tradition with me, I like to post pictures of my travels and my watches. This weekend my wife and I headed to New England for a long weekend at her boss' house in New Hampshire. While we were there, we also visited Maine and Boston. We had an amazing time and I hope the pictures show you a little bit of what we enjoyed. We had tons of steamed lobster, lobster rolls, steamer clams, haddock and wine. Their house is just gorgeous with tons of grapevines around, hummingbirds, deer and chipmunks. In Maine we visited the Kittery Trading Post, York, Cape Neddick aka Nubble Lighthouse, Perkins Cove, Marginal Way Lighthouse and had amazing lobster rolls at the #1 place in Maine for lobster rolls called the Foot Bridge Lobster. While in Boston we walk around all over the place including the North End and took some great pictures from the Top of the Hub at the Prudential building. Also stopped by European Watch Co. on Newbury street. Great selection of APs, Pateks and other 'haute

Double Incoming!!!
Hi everyone! I am so excited about my UPS package that came in this morning! After a ton of searching and looking I finally found a Tudor BBN rose logo ETA!!! On leather!!!! I was also able to secure a great discount on a 126333 white stick dial. I always preffer the TS Route, but this time I must say that I had a wonderful experience at an AD. White glove service, and even ordered my TT DJ straight from switzerland so it was never touched by human hands before mine! All in all its a great day and a pleasure to share with my fellow TRFers. Here are some photos!
