Introduction... and first AP.

Figured I'd officially introduce myself and say Hi to the fellow AP owners. I recently purchased my first AP (a silver dial 15400 from Brian G aka boxerbrian) and absolutely love it. I have owned several Rolexes, probably a dozen Panerais, Omegas, Breitlings, Tudors, UNs, IWCs, GOs, etc etc - mainly hang out on the Dive Watch Connection and buy/sell/trade on there, TZ and Paneristi. I've wanted a Diver ever since they were first introduced but because I love my DSSD on Rubber B so much I decided to fill a gap in my collection and do the 15400 with my first AP.

The watch has more finishing details than any other piece I've ever owned with probably a GO Sport Evo Panorama date being second. Everything about the watch screams quality and it's versatile enough for me that I can wear it in my business casual work environment or with jeans. After only a few days of ownership I'm already thinking about my next one if that tells you anything!

So, on to the pics! Also, a few after of the rest of my collection currently.











Others...











Next on my list:



My other babies:







Take care - have a good weekend!

Welcome mate, I was like you and had quite a few different brands but once I came upon AP I started consolidating my collection and now AP is my fav brand.

Thanks! My wrist is only 7" but thanks fully flat enough that I can pull off larger watches. I do think I'll probably start moving a couple of other watches to make way for an SS Diver as the ceramic one may be a bit out of my reach initially.
