Bored of the Rolex wait....
Normally my Rolex AD come thru for me but having been told it was a long wait for a PM YachtMaster I made an impulse buy of an AP Royal Oak Offshore Diver. I rang a few AP ADs and found one of these..... And snatched one up when I found it!

Couldn't be happier with my first AP purchase, I think it will be a slippery slope though! Loving the finish on it and the feel on the wrist!

Good call. That’s a marvellously versatile sports watch - easily paired with a slew of different straps

Congratulations and enjoy!

....and, yes, it is a very slippery slope

Curious as to which PM Yachtmaster you are referring to? Is it the 116655?

It was the 126655, the rose gold 40mm version. I was offered the new white gold 42mm Yachtmaster but it doesn't really appeal to me.

Nice AP, looks great! As for the 126655, last I checked it’s not available yet in the US, not sure about other countries .
