considering a AP... Opinions for those experienced
OK ive come across a AP ROO Volcano 2010....Now ive been on the look for a AP for a while and the volcano is def not my first choice i have found one for what i think to be a good price ($8500usd)Ive got 3 rolexs,omega and a panerai so i want to step it up... my concern is what is the resale on them if i choose that its not for me? and is there anything that i should look out for specifically?I can see what guys are asking for them on Chrono 24 but i take alot of that with a grain of salt, like anything what people ask and what they get are usually two different things and just because thats what they are asking doesnt mean they are worth it.I have bought watches previously and paid a premium and then decided that im over it and lost a bucket load of money because the market has fallen out on them(Breitling ,Uboat,Oris etc...)Opinions??pic for reference

Long time Rolex Loyalist gets first Breitling!
Still love Rolex, but thought I would try some variety! Got this beauty from the MAN DavidSW. I'm loving it. Fit and finish is fantastic, this is going into my regular rotation. I'm a complete Breitling noob. Are the chronographs supposed to be moving all the time?

Incoming Speedy!!!!
I've been looking at the Speedy for a while and the time was right to finally make the addition. I would love to add to the already stellar reputation of DavidSW for a completely flawless transaction. Less than 24 hours from the time payment was made to delivery. Could not recommend enough and will definitely be making another purchase with him down the road. Really looking forward to getting to know this one! As beautiful as it is in photos, it is at a different level when you see it in the metal. Chose to put it on the NATO immediately and it is incredibly comfortable. Happy Speedy Tuesday everyone!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
