1 week in...
So Last Saturday my AP ROO RC arrived. I got a wild hair from reading this forum that I really wanted an AP, after more research I decided on the RC as it really fit my style was 42mm and in the lower price bracket for AP. I have NEVER seen an AP in real life so I had a number of questions and I wanted to trade a Rolex that no longer sees much wrist time so I needed some guidance.
I started the journey by contacting a few sellers here on the forum, all where helpful but based on the offerings we could not make a deal. Jacob (Deep-House) was referred to me by a friend and was the most helpful. Jacob did not have a RC in my price range but felt he could find an appropriate piece, about 3 weeks later he sent me a text on a RC he just took in and we made a deal. I shipped my Rolex and made a wire transfer, this was my first transaction of this type and because I could find no reviews on Jacob here I would not have done it if a trusted friend of mine had not made a transaction with Jacob in the past. EVERYTHING went great and the watch arrived well packaged, on time and in better than described condition. I have not been nearly as excited about a new watch as I was with this one, most of the excitement was due to not knowing what to really expect in terms of looks and fit. But on arrival I was blown away! It looks amazing and I love the fit, other than I need a short strap. I have worn it daily since, even when I should have worn a different watch based on wardrobe. I spent the week in Vegas and I only saw another AP in the shops at the Venetian, none on a wrist and that was pretty cool! I always travel with 2 or 3 watches, I will not have to do that for a while as I do not want to take this one off. I really like the style of this watch and I will definitely own more in the future, for now the bug is at bay as I have no desire to wear anything else. As an aside after I opened the package I sent Jacob a text and asked if he belonged to any forums or if I could post a referral, that is when he told me he was Deep-house. Until that time I had search for him as Jacob but to no avail. I have been a member here for several years, but I do not have much to add to most of the conversations so I don't post, just read. But for what it is worth I have had an awesome experience with Jacob he was friendly, stayed in communication with me and was honest with his assessment of my trade and the condition of the AP. Now I off to the store, in jeans a T and my AP!!!  Below is as good a wrist shot as my skills can manage, but the cool is still apparent! |
