My First high-end watch!
This has been one I have been eyeing for that part few years, and I just love it. I am not going to go through all the specs and details as you all already know them, but I must say that everything on this watch comes together so well. I stopped by a Bucherer shop in Munich, Germany and ended up buying it for a pretty fair price after the VAT refund I will receive at the airport.
Going to try to upload some pics in a minute.

Germany is one the best places to buy these beauties. Coming from someone who's purchased 6 watches there. Congrats!

The PO (Quantum of Solace) was my first a few years back. First of many!

Oddly enough, it's still in the collection many years later.

Why is that? Price? I'm going to Germany next month and would go watch shopping if it was worth it.

I'm wearing the titanium/blue version of this. Wonderful watch. I too bought it here in Germany when the exchange rate was still somewhat ok last month. It glows all night. I got used to wearing a watch again after a few years of relying on my cell phone. This watch made it easy.

Congrats. Enjoy.

Yes! I agree with you completely. When I got the watch I was very excited and over exaggerated a bit. I would put it at mid level luxury or so. Being only 17 this seems to me as a great acomplishment to be able to buy it with all on my own and still have a lot of extra money left over. AP 15400 is next!

Great choice for a first watch, I started with an Omega too. Only I considered myself young at 21.. Great job!
Enjoy!
