Like you was not planning to wear it often, it is my daily watch actually,
I don’t know why, but something about this AP give a special feeling compared to Rolex, is it the bracelet? The blue/grey dial?

I got mine from the Singapore boutique - I've been living here for the past 4 years so figured I had the best chances trying to get one locally, after being denied any opportunity to get one from multiple boutiques in Europe, HK and Japan, USA. Happened a LOT sooner than I was told it would - effectively when I got a call, I managed to save up only half of what it cost me, so need to move a few pieces from my collection to minimise the debt.
Not wearing it daily is a sort of a rule I've established a while back - until I paid off the remaining debt on it, the watch is not mine and restrict myself from using it daily...sort of motivates me to save up faster;)
I find my impressions of the watch is quite different from Rolex, of which I only have the GMT Batman...it is undeniably more elegant and refined, the blue dial is exquisite, finishing on the movement is amazing but it does feel a LOT more fragile and delicate, the Rolex is build like a tank and can take pretty much anything you throw at it, be it on land, air or sea...different horses for different courses, as they say.
Congrats on your RO btw!
