I’m guessing you own several Rolex’s, etc. How does the new watch compare?

Yes, own several Rolex - exclusively Daytona and Submariner variants. My dress watch had been a DateJust 36, but the Jumbo rendered that watch irrelevant as the perfect hybrid dress/sport watch.

I have a smaller wrist - 6.5” - and the AP is so light and comfortable. The thinness of the case also makes the watch easy to wear.

Overall, the stealth versatility of the watch makes this an absolute perfect timepiece. The Rolex watches are still beloved as workhorse sport models, but the AP is on another level.

I know it’s cliche, but it’s true to say that with the Jumbo, “when you know, you know.” I now know and couldn’t be happier.

By stealth, do you mean that it fits under a sleeve? Because if that bracelet is showing, it is an eye catcher.

I have spotted them across airport food courts in Singapore and in dark cafes in Hong Kong.They catch the light in a way that is rivaled perhaps only by the fluted crown on a Rolex.

Congratulations. I haven’t seen another one IRL in Atlanta, but maybe we’ll cross paths one day. Though to be honest, I typically only wear mine on date nights with the wife, and haven’t had one of those since Covid-life.

By “stealth” I mean that 95% of people in the city I live in (guess) have no idea what the watch is. My old Rolex DateJust 36 would likely draw much more attention.
