I was very excited to get my first AP, a ROC, but I imagine nowadays the shortage has spiked the enjoyment to opioid levels for some.

This is a complexion of watch collecting that people often don't realise.

watch brands need to control the scarcity so that we actually get very emotional to be able to buy something, as opposed to being able to buy whenever you like. We treasure the things that are hard to find, and hard to keep.

The great thing is that no matter how many watches you have, the feeling has yet to ever go away

Post lots of pics please, I'm real interested in that model. Congrats and enjoy. I will say, as someone who isn't overly a massive gift giver, the excitement of buying a piece as a gift for someone takes it to a whole nother level. I surprised my wife with a RO and was more excited for that than anything ive bought myself.

Congrats in advance.

Hope you still get the same feeling every day you put it on for years to come.

When you get that, you know you’ve found the right watch.

Fantastic! I’m trying to get an appointment with AP but to no avail. Is it hard to do? I’m yet to deal with AP?
