Finally picked up the new toy / Australian tourism
My new AP, appreciate very mainstream and hardly the top end of the AP world, but it is my first and I really like it, glad I was not talked out of it by talk of it being too big on a wrist, my 7.5in and the 15400 look like they were made for each other.
Many thanks to Mitch at the Hourglass in Sydney, a great deal, great service and a man who respects TRF big time. FYI Just as special as the AP is the journey from my home in Balmain by Ferry to the city to pick up the watch, a great day all round, my wife is now wearing my Daytona which was re-sized for her by Mitch as well. Sunny Sydney day, for those that have never visited our amazing city hopefully this is the enabler photos to get you to come (30c / 85f and such blue skies), apparently our architecture is quite well known as well. OK so the downside is we do have the occasional mosquito which has impacted the wrist shot a little!!!

The 15400 is one of the most basic RO's you can get but it is so perfectly AP to me. I've had the AP Diver, ROO Safari, ROO 44MM Novelty, and the 15400 is the one that I can wear most often.

Congratulations Craig. As you know, we have similar tastes. I look forward to hearing how you get on with the AP as my next decision is which first....15400 black or 5167...

Yep, with 7.5 it's definitely the right piece for you, with my 6.5 it's more Nautilus or 15202-15300 for me
  Anyways huge congrats
