Have seen irl many times here in Singapore. Saw the Black Theme twice, RB2, Survivor, RGRC, Black RC, Panda, Volcano, 15300 white dial, RO Dual Time (both white & black dials) in shopping malls. Saw a Diver and a 2-tone Blue ROC in the same food centre. Spotted one of my neighbours wearing a JT, and another neighbour husband wearing a limited edition championship steel/tantulum RO in quartz, and his wife wearing a vintage lady size RO. Recently saw a rare Singapore GP ROO at a shopping mall. And my most memorable sighting was a SS lady RO with baby blue dial and a diamond bezel on a pretty lady's wrist when we were queuing in line at the cashier of a supermarket. That sighting confirmed my decision to purchase the lady RO for my wife as her Christmas and birthday present :)

twice. not enough!
i've met someone who was wearing a diver and i saw a pretty young guy in a mazda 323 sporting a white 15300. if i worked in the posh middle of paris instead of the high-rise business district just outside, i'm sure i would see more. |

A few. Saw a one of the new 41mm ROs at a friend's party recently. See more PPs in the wild.

Im out in the LA area and near an AP AD in Malibu and have yet to see one in the wild.
I have seen many Hublot out here including a iced out one at Universal Studios... The whole family had one... |

Saw a volcano around the River Oaks area of Houston but that was the only time I've seen an AP out in the wild. Obviously this is Texas so Rolex galore.

Dallas Chanel boutique In Highland Park Village - 3 days before Christmas, Micheal Irving was wearing a ROO safari. I was wearing my Volcano for the first time, so I said, "Nice watch" and flashed my volcano. He smiled, kinda chuckled and said thanks. Luckily a SO swept me away so I didn't look like a total Ahole.

Was on a trip of Europe a few months back, last night there we headed down to the famous Monte Carlo Casino, being a blackjack boy, I decided to test my luck, the gentleman to the right of me was wearing a AP ROO volcano, was a bit envious at the time as I only had my Casio on!

My wife and I usually stay at the same hotel in Crete each year for our summer holiday. Normally the watch of choice is a Rolex (with Vilibrequins). However last year there was one guy who I'm 99% sure was wearing a RO Grande Complication as it was bigger than my offshore and thick and it definately wasnt a tourbillon. I didn't want to stare!

A customer once came to my cash at my job with a lovely two-tone RO on his wrist. It seemed to be quite a few years old but beautiful nonetheless.

Actually, a friend of mine has a Black Themes ROO on bracelet that I've seen him wear at several track days at Shannonville MotoPark the last few years too. I think it is partly because of him that I got one.

Met a guy at Singapore Airport on his way to Paris in the lounge. He had on a black T3, we had a nice chat about it as I used to have it. Miss the T3 but not something I will wear daily.

Take a stroll through the Bal Harbour Shops and you won't have enough fingers and toes to count how many AP's you see! ;)

Only once have I seen an AP in the wild, when I was visiting NYC. Never where I live though.

I actually when I have seen people wearing APs, its almost always some form of Offshore, rather than a regular RO.

I passed a guy on the street wearing a ROO this summer, and a waiter at a restaurant was wearing a ROO as well, couldn't tell if they were real though.

Met a gentleman at the Chicago Dental Society Midwinter Dental Meeting today. He was wearing a 37mm Royal Oak with a blue dial. It was well worn but running beautifully. He actually noticed my ROO first but didn't say anything until I mentioned to my friend that I saw another AP.
Also met a fellow WIS from Vancouver, BC, Canada who was one of the first people I've met outside of a watch store who recognized my watch. He was wearing a Maurice LaCroix. It's been a good day.
