AP forum tab time ?
With all these new AP owners is it time for TRF to have its own AP forum tab? You guys have excellent watches and make awesome threads. TRF is becoming the go to site for non Rolex discussions in my book, due to the great community of people and environment. I am looking to join the club very soon. just a thought :cheers

NYC- Minute repeater event
The minute repeater event in NYC was amazing!A group of 4 clients and 4 AD reps spent the day at Patek's NYC facility in Rockefeller Plaza with Larry Pettinelli and Laurent Junod. Laurent delivered a fascinating presentation on the history and culture of minute repeaters, during which time all questions were answered. In fact, interesting questions continued to be answered throughout the day by both Larry and Laurent providing some rare insight into the brand, history, and various references.Numerous minute repeaters were available for hands on examination. (!!!) Two additional advanced techs that I remembered from the recent exhibition at Cipriani were also there to facilitate examination and discussion.Absolutely attend if given the opportunity. Lunch at La Grenouille was a wonderful touch and a champagne toast with swag bags was the perfect close.A++ all around!!(I'll add here that it absolutely had the intended effect because a minute repeater is my new grail) I hope other friends

My first Rolex - Datejust 41 - Complete U turn on the brand!
Very proud to say that I have my first Rolex :)It's been an odd journey to get me here. I spent years not caring for the brand at all, there wasn't a single piece that stuck out for me. The height of my collection has been around Omegas and Tags. Maybe once I became a little older and wiser, I started appreciated some models, specifically the Datejust 41 and BLNR. As time went on I started to like them even more, the beautiful subtleness of the DJ41, the detail and quality of the Oyster bracelet, the statement that is the bezel of the BLNR. It all just started to make sense why the brand is so highly regarded.I made the decision to go with the DJ41, Black, Smooth Bezel with Oyster. That configuration gives me exactly what I'm looking for in a watch at the moment. An all rounder, to be worn in and out of work, smart or casual. Anyway enough of my rambling! Here are some pics :)
