Small but Big Incoming!

Big brother meets little brother!

I wear the odd 40mm Rolex but generally I’d say the sweet spot for me is 41mm. So this is a small watch for me, but as an incoming, it’s as big as it gets. It’s the watch I’ve been after for a number of years. I’ve been with AP House in Bond Street since 2020 and they have been wonderful to deal with on every occasion. They’ve always been very transparent and honest and I knew this would take a few years, but as promised, they have delivered.

Even though that this is the watch I’d wanted for so long, I always had slight concerns over the size and whether it may wear too small. Especially as I go up to 43mm with my ROO. Reality is though it fits perfectly. It just feels amazing on the wrist. Here’s some pictures alongside its big brother

Big Congrats!
That really is MARVELOUS!
I only wish I could get one from an AD but I am not worthy LOL and Im just not ready to pay almost 2X on the gray market. Not hating on grays, it's simple.... Supply and Demand dictate pricing.

Congrats! I tell myself these same things (that the 41 looks better on my wrist) while I wait the next many years to get a Jumbo ;-)
