Incoming - Finally got my first AP! - 2017 RELEASE
Hi everyone,
After lurking for a while and dreaming about this watch I finally pulled the trigger. I never thought I would like an AP until I held one in my hands and tried it on, it just blew me away. I love my Rolex's but AP is different. Every few months or so I run into one at a boutique or dealer and it just hurts trying them on since I wanted one so bad. First I wanted a white (or silver?) one because it is the first one I ever tried on and I love white watches. Then I was feeling for the black one because of the contrast to the markers and the depth of the dial. The white gold on a dark dial just pops. When I went another time to a dealer they only had a two-tone, I loved that as well, great play of metals and really complements the dial.  Here's a bonus picture of a Rose Gold Jumbo - AMAZING watch!   Of course, when they brought out a blue "from the back" when I was in Vegas that looked great as well, the boutique blue iconic color. Was it going to be this one??  ...but then something happened a few days ago, looking through the display case, I said to myself "wait a minute, I've never seen that before..." and there it was...  In the pictures I had first thought it was a muted color. In the flesh it's just amazing. The color of the dial is strong, silent, yet powerful. It combines a little bit of character from every other dial I had liked. The contrast, the depth, the play of light, it had it all. I just had to have it, so despite the fact that I wasn't "ready" I immediately pulled the trigger. So I present to you my brand new 15400ST GREY RUTHENIUM     I liked all the colors, and you really can't go wrong with whatever you choose, but this is the one for me. I am extremely happy with my decision and the watch, this is one amazing timepiece that I will continue to enjoy!

OH HELLO THERE BEAUTIFUL!
Great choice bud! I need to see the grey in person. I was imagining the same muted look and went for some savings with the silver/white. |
