Hi everyone
Hi everyone, I have been reading the forum for long time and finally decided to introduce myself with few pics of some of my pieces. Not the greatest pictures but I love the watches 😊👍
Have some more but let’s start gradually

Thanks guys!
I have been collecting for 12 years now, bought my first high-end watch during a trip in Vegas with my fiancée (now wife) in 2007 at Tourneau inside the Caesar’s Palace (to learn later on from the forum that it was not the best AD to start with ). It was a 36 mm DJ blue dial with sticks, smooth bezel and oyster bracelet that now belongs to my wife.
Had so many Rolexes that I lost track, then started with other brands (i.e. Zenith, Vacheron, Panerai, AP, PP) and now sold most of my Rolexes (down to 10) and went crazy on AP and PP... but still have my Zenith that I bought in 2008 during our second trip to Vegas, and that I wore on our wedding day.

I am Italian but worked overseas in various countries over the past 15 yrs, now live and work in Saudi Arabia in the oil field where I have the luxury of being able to wear any watch any time anywhere without worrying about being robbed.

Nice forum and I hope to become an active member of the community.

Welcome and great collection of APs! Does the perpetual wear similar or smaller than the openworked? I’m thinking of getting one.

Slightly smaller but difference is negligible I’d say.

Always thought 44mm was too much for my wrist, but eventually decided to pull the trigger. I’ll be collecting a green camo soon

Great collection! Is that Diver the one with blue or black accents? It looks like the newer Diver with blue by the hands.... I’ve been thinking about the bracelet but unsure how it looks with the blue accents. Would love to see more pics!

Wow !! What a collection.

Looking forward to seeing more photos of these in future.

The QP is indeed an absolutely stunning piece.

Thats a great one! Difficult to beat when you wear it with casual attire. Have tried one recently in AP House Madrid and it looked great. We are waiting for the pics!!
