I told myself only one AP, and I love the steel version that I bought a month ago. It's classy and almost reserved for a ROO.

I was talking to my AD, and last week or so, started looking at the other pieces they had.

1) The Diver: What a beautiful watch in person. The pictures of it never spoke to me, but in person, the watch is beautiful. The finishing is beautiful and I was smitten by how nice it looked. Especially in a black dial.

2) The Bumblebee: Again, a very impressive watch in person.

But alas...

I couldn't get away from this one.

I figure my collection needed one "black" timepiece, and this checked all the boxes. There are so many layers of black and different textures on this piece that I found myself mesmerized by it. I know everyone says it, but all the carbon APs have to be seen and worn in person to truly appreciate.

Thank you to the CARBON ENABLERS here at TRF, hope you are proud to see the results of your efforts.

Golden rule: Never go to your AD with an open mind LOL.

The watch is definitely big, but with taking such zoomed in pics of the watch itself, wrists tend to look very small.

Congrats! Two amazing ROOs that you have now! Really love both the 44mm steel and carbon ROOs as well.
