AP ROC Panda 26331

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum and I've recently picked up my first AP and I'm blown away by the quality and style of the watch, specially the stunning steel bracelet.

I own a few Rolexes but this has quickly become my new favorite watch. I heard APs are scratch magnets compared to Rolexes, is that true? I guess this would be the special occasion wear for now...

Anyway, I'm glad to join the AP family and will definitely own another one in the future!

congrats! My favorite (within financial reason) watch of 2017! Practice some wrist awareness and scratches should be minimal.

Saw it in person the other day and actually prefer it to blue.

Not a big fan of silver sub dials; cheapen the watch imo.

Congrats!

I've been practicing wrist awareness on my Rolexes but those scratches seem unavoidable :(

My original pick was the blue dial, but it was $4k more so I couldn't pull the trigger...
