AP Dealer Question
I recently obtained and AP RO Safari. I am contemplating a bracelet. I live in Washington State and there are no AP dealers here. The dealers I am loyal to such as Wixon Jewelers in Minneapolis carry pretty much everything but AP. Any input into a dealer I should call to purchase some accessories would be most appreciated.

Just a reminder to my forum cigar friends....
Its the last day of the holiday weekend, dont forget to take a moment to relax with one of your favorites.....

New watch - Rolex DSSD!
Just came in this morning! I've always wanted to try one of these but I've been nervous about the size. I started looking into these more closely lately as I've wanted a bigger watch. I'm 6'4 and about 265lbs so I figured I could pull it off. My buddy had one for sale and I couldn't be more pleased with it. G serial from 2012 with a full set; everything including the original sales receipt. The original owner put it on a rubber B from the dealer (seriously, he specified it on the receipt), so the bracelet is mint. There's still stickers on the clasp. Here's some quick pics with my 1986 (birth year) 16660. Initial thoughts - way more comfortable than I thought it would be and I don't mind the chapter ring text like I thought I would. I think this will be a nice change of pace from the other 40mm Rolex watches in my collection. All in all, I'm extremely happy with this purchase.
