My dear TRF friends, it has finally arrived.

I went to the AP Boutique in Tokyo, Japan this past June. Although I had dreamed and thought about it, I had to see the Ginza 7 in person (even if I didn't have the cash on hand to buy ASAP). The future Mrs understands my addiction and humored the detour.

This only made things worse. I'd think about it all the time. two months passed by... I decided... It was time.

A ticket was booked. Calls were made. Emails were sent to the boutique. A wire transfer was put in place. Essentially this became a mission to extract a carbon timepiece from Japan.

The only thing was I was going to be in a part of Japan a ways away from Tokyo. So I told the boutique I need delivery...No problem they said.

Two days after sending a wire they told me it was on it's way...

And now, I present to you...my grail and very first Forged Carbon Offshore as well as my third AP Offshore overall...

THE GINZA 7 FORGED CARBON!!! (with mandatory unboxing)

Nice Jason. Congrats !

thlax · 12 August 2012, 03:23 AM

Amazing. Good job working to it. I'm actually glad to hear you couldn't buy it ASAP that first trip. Working towards it over the two months only shows your dedication to it and will make it even more rewarding.

Congrats !

I got to try it in at the NYC Boutique three weekends ago.

It doubles as a membership card to the facilities and amenities available at the Tokyo boutique.

-Cigar and Champagne service if you drop by in the area.
-Being the first to see new watches before they're released to the public
-being able to USE/HOST parties at their facilities (it's a few stories high)
-networking events with other AP club members
-Golf tournaments and outings with fellow Japan AP club members
etc. etc...

kind of funny but if you look it up they have a lounge and men's spa area I think at the AP building in Japan.
