Incoming daily "beater"... but I'm headed out of town!

Always love reading the incoming threads and time now to start one of my own. After a few months of going back and forth between an AP or PP, AP won. Have been enjoying my AP 44mm RG novelty on weekends, but was missing seeing an AP on my wrist during the week. What a different feeling on Mondays when I have to put on my Milgauss to go to work... first world problems :).

Had located some pieces in Asia and in the Caribbean with great discounts but ended up wiring to DavidSW this afternoon because of the convenience and positive threads here (thanks Roger for the nudge!). Just waiting for my tracking...

Should be expecting a package later this week but out of town until Sunday... will be looking forward to getting home to take some pics!

Congrats! Can't wait for the pics

Love daily beater APs. I couldn't go back to my DSSD so now the FC diver is my daily. Coming up on a year of wear and still looks new.

Roger, I couldn't wait until my trip to HK in December...

Received tracking. Scheduled to ship Friday and arrive Monday for my return.

Yes, I checked the tracking while on vacation :).

It has arrived. The AP15400 silver dial. Big thanks to DavidSW.

Had been thinking of a Jumbo or a Nautilus for a daily, but I wanted a white face and not a huge fan of the Nautilus other than blue face. Watch is super light compared to the 44mm RG Novelty :).

Here are some of the pics of the unveil and the family it has joined. Anyone tell me how I can rotate these photos 90 degrees? Can't wait to get some links off so I can wear it!

Since they're already attached, not a way to do that. But next time, be sure to edit the originals to do the rotation.

Thanks everyone! Am going to get it resized later this week. Looking forward to it and will share more pics.

I will take the pics horizontally instead of vertically on my phone when the sizing is done so that I don't have to rotate them before uploading :).

Great addition! I'm always amused by some definitions of daily beaters.
