My intro to AP

I have quite an assortment of Rolex in my stable but this is my first venture outside of a very familiar brand. I have loved the look of the ROC for many years but with the intro of the panda dials it really peaked my interest. After a lot of deliberation I decided on this one. Literally delivered minutes ago. First impression is that fit and finish exceeds that of Rolex. Pretty impressed so far!

Congrats! I got mine yesterday and I definitely agree the fit and finish exceeds that of Rolex, but now I wear mine so much more carefully that it's almost a bad thing because a watch should be worn and not worried.

I’m sure I’ll be the same way for a while! I am extremely impressed thus far. The bracelet is incredibly comfortable.

Well done!!! Exceptional watch.

Yesterday I was contemplating the finish of mine. Look at the PUSHERS, and you will see your reflection haha. Its kind of amazing.

Now, get yourself the rubber kit. It gives you room to 'play' with it. I don't like leather straps, but there's some good options for it too.

I just received my 'kit' a few min ago.

Here's how it looks:
