Another first AP thread! ROO Safari
I haven't been a long time AP lover, in fact I never considered one like some watches that I've wanted for years (such as a PP nautilus) but not too long ago I went into the only AD in Melbourne that stocks AP's and had a browse....didn't take long to want one more than any watch I could think of! I guess I don't see many, if any, around here and pictures just don't do them justiceThey happened to have a Royal Oak Offshore Safari and another model in stock that arrived the day before. The sales guy was actually surprised as he said they normally sell Safari's to VIP's before they hit the shelf and that they only get allocated 2 per financial year from AP (who knows how much truth is in that...they are salespeople after all)Anyway, told me the price...and that there are no discounts even though I'm a long time client since its such a rare/sought after model in Australia and they were confident it would sell for full price that week.

Wempe Nyc 5164r

I still may...

Happy Hour
Happy hour with the man of the house. He has a good taste in watches and beer.

I can't get this flipping idea out of my head
Pun intended...I love the GMT complication.....The 116719BLRO has always been a grail of sorts for me. I can't help to think sometimes that less is more, and maybe i'd be better off flipping my 116710ln, 16710, EXii black dial, and zenith moon (which i rarely wear) plus cash for a WG BLRO. This would leave me with Deep Blue, Bluesy, and what I really think is my grail, the end all be all, the WG BLRO. I realize I will lose the versatility of the 16710 as I have all three inserts, but some how I feel having something in PM will make up for that. Now I realize some do not like the colors of the 116719 bezel, that is not an issue for me, so let's not let it be a reoccurring theme here. Also, I'm not concerned with the potential appreciation of the 16710 as I buy to wear, not for future speculation of value. At this point I am merely thinking of the idea, so please no PM's offering to buy the 16710 from me. What I am wondering, is for those of you who have consolidated from more to a big l
