My very first Audemars Piguet

A very quick post to share with you guys and girls that i have acquired my very first AP at an age of 20! Feel absolutely blessed :)

I am very busy with University work at the moment so hopefully i will post the full story on the weekend

Hope you enjoy this quick pic i took whilst on my daily commute on the train.

Very nice, 20 is pretty young to be blowing circa £12k on an AP! Fair play if you can afford it!

Where abouts in the East Midlands you from? I'm from northampton.

Thank you! I'm a chemist at heart, and at the heart of chemistry is carbon so naturally i had to get the FC diver :)

I'm from Derby :) So not that far from you, i commute to Leicester everyday for Uni.

Kudos to you for being able to afford AP at age 20
I don't think I even knew what AP was at that age, though I was aware of PP & Rolex. I had a Cartier Tank Francaise at that age which I still own as it has sentimental value
