Seriously, this is the watch to get this year. It has so much charm. If you love it in photos, you'll love it even more in real life.
Dang lol I have a confession as well. I pulled my deposit on this watch after hyping the crap out of it. In a completely hypocritical maneuver, I bought an AP 44 instead

I might still add it though. Haven't seen it in the metal.

I've always been intrigued by the FF, and I'd love to see one in the metal.

Congrats on the AP! Royal oak will be my next watch...or a Lange & S.

Think about the Mil-Spec again, mine won't arrive until October so who knows how many are left.

Dang it! Seeing this thread makes me think I need this watch. Might have to get ahold of my other AD and see if any allocations remain.

It's funny I thought the 45 was just a bit too large given the design, and then I thought a 40mm would be good like you, but then we both now have AP 44s... so maybe it will be too small now...

Nice pic below. Wish the orange indicator was a little smaller.

I know I know. Sometimes I feel like the standard FF is a fine size. The lug to lug is 4mm shorter than the AP diver!

I've been going back and forth regarding the regular FF and the Mil spec.

I think a few have landed in Europe but I haven’t seen any in the US yet. Still tempted by this one.
