My First AP...

Did a lot of research as to which AP model I should buy. I love the 90’s, neo-vintage era. So I decided to go with the Classic AP RO 14790ST MK1 Dial. Love the fit and the look!

Congrats on your gorgeous vintage AP.

I am waiting for my 14790SA.

What is your wrist size? It looks very good on your wrist.

@recaro18 congrats! may I ask if the bracelet falls straight down for you as well when not on the wrist or does it flare out slightly like the newer iterations?
