My First AP

Hi all, been reading the forums as a lurker and I must say...the posts here have made me decide on the Novelty FC 44 mm as my first AP!

Very happy with it.

I changed the strap to the horn back type with white stitching. Makes the watch take on an entire different feel compared to it looking sporty previously.

Hi all, thank you for the well wishes:) i'm absolutely stoked about this piece and i can promise that it won't be my first AP

The hornback strap is newly launched and Singapore's one of the first few to get it, it's similar to the straps for the 42mm, just that these fit the 44mm series.

I got a white rubber strap as well and ordered another custom strap for it from AP.

I'll post more pictures of it when i'm back from work.

All i can say is that the hornback strap is a must upgrade if one is looking for a classier look.
