Welcome to Club AP
It has been a long time coming. I've admired AP from afar for quite some time now and after coming close a couple times over the past year, I finally pulled the trigger. I am the proud owner for my first AP, a Royal Oak Chrono! I can't even begin to describe how beautiful this watch is. We all know the dial is mesmerizing, but the craftsmanship on the bracelet is just superb. I love how the brushed and polished parts catch the light as it almost dances on the wrist. I've attached a wrist shot below, more to come once I stop over it.Only one problem though. I've had this bad boy for about 6 hours now and I'm already figuring out which AP to buy next! Oh well, looks like it's time to hunt down a Titanium Schumi. P.S. Many thanks to MB23 for coming through in the clutch and getting me a great deal after the ADs failed to deliver.

It's here, my first (and hopefully last) Omega!
Thanks guy for all the advice, settled on the new sapphire sandwich! The legibility of the registers is INSANE. Compared to my other chronos, nothing is too shiny or covered. This is the perfect tool watch.The manual also describes a technique to hack the 1863, which I tried and succeeded, so the only caveat I had when buying this watch is now covered!Immediately took it off the bracelet, then realized the Velcro is too long, and the Nato too chromey, so now it sits on my old Maratec nato, I love it! I'm so satisfied with this watch that hopefully it ends my hunt for a Speedmaster and becomes my first and only Omega.If any one wants the included 2 straps, PM me with offer.

Price increase in November
My AD told me last week after I bought an X2 Big Date from him that Omega is going to have an increase in November due to the decline of the dollar. My bigger worry is the current economic situation which is affecting all of us!

World timers - are they still useful?
I think the Patek world timers are great looking watches, with an artistic and well executed complication, but with countries changing their timezones it's becoming increasingly less useful.First it was Moscow, and today i read that Spain is considering moving its clocks back an hour to GMT. When you factor in the inconsitent observances of DST, I'm happy to report i'm no longer tempted...Curious how others feel. Does anyone buy these for their useful complication, or it is simply about the aesthetic?

I feel that the SD4000c will eventually
become one of the most sought after Rolex’s ever! It’s such a special watch! Prices are climbing and eventually they’ll become harder to find.Attachment 1Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
