Incoming - First AP

Long time Rolex buyer plus one Patek (Aquanaut), I finally bought an AP. This is the 25068 (39mm) and fits my wrist perfectly. It feels much more prominent than my pre-C Sub. Plus, Iove the blue dial.20191014_100619.jpg

Fantastic first AP. You started out with a bang.

Yes! This is simply the nicest bracelet I've ever wore on my wrist.

You'll have to take more care with the AP over your sub, but you will love it!

congrats fellow DCer, it looks almost new? is this a NOS?

Are you sure of the reference? It seems 26300 to me?

Hello! Nope, it is the 25860ST. It was serviced by Audemars this year so it looks new. I actually picked it up from Lenkersdorfer in Tysons who used to be an authorized dealer for AP. I bought this piece preowned from them. Now, AP sells new watches through their boutiques.

I thought so, I remember seeing it at their store a couple of months ago. How's your experience with them? I found them very unpleasant, especially the new guys from Tourneau!


Wear it in good health

I'm a long-time customer of theirs, so they always treat me pleasantly.
