New AP Inbound!

After drooling over this model for a few years, I was approached by a friend with an incredible deal that I could not say no to. While this is one of the models that people either love or hate, I truly like its understated characteristics and like the fact that in the event that the bezel gets beat up, I can upgrade to a ceramic one and give it a brand new look! That line probably let the cat out of the bag but I will let the pictures do the talking. I am one HAPPY CAMPER!!!





WTF no watch?




Feels so good on the wrist.


Thanks for sharing this exciting moment with me!

Fantastic! Love the GP! Congrats!

I believe you can also swap the date disc to black for an even more badass look!

Either way, an epic piece!

Awesome watch! love the color combo. Looks like a ferrari on the wrist.

If you ever send it back to AP i would have them swap out the date wheel to a black one.

Fantastic, congrats, if I were you I would get the ceramic bezel, the FC as I understands will have it's edges rounded up ad it doesn't look great when it's the case.
