1 month in to ownership

So thought id write about my first AP
Firstly I love the fit of the 42mm Offshores, i have just over a 7 inch wrist and the watch sits perfect.
The clasp takes some getting use to, and to require a snug fit sometimes marks your skin, but small price to pay as I prefer over a buckle.
The alligator strap has surprised me, I had in my mind from the beginning to change to a rubber strap. But the Alligator strap has grown on me so much and contrasts so well with the FC case and ceramic bezel.
The FC case is excellent, and along with the only choice of bezel for me ceramic make a great combination and they seem to change in different light conditions giving you a different look every time.
Craftsmenship is amazing, design and materials used have me staring at for what seems hours, Im hooked on the brand Ap rule
I would recommend anyone considering a Offshore to Consider a Ginza I think a few are in circulation from AD. Its very stealthy looking and combines all the great materials FC/ceramic a touch of rose gold and some diamonds, the weight is very nice and i think you can dress up and down with this watch

Customer Service from AP Boutique in Ginza was great and if I was to buy another AP I would through this Boutique.

I love the marbling on the case. Really tempted to go down the FC route next...

Thats what scares me !

Would love a 44 mm RG novelty or a diver if they produce a RG version with ceramic bezel

And the s/s skeleton

But over the moon for what I've got for now!!
