Wow Michael, what a watch my friend !!!! :d rul:
I know how much you wanted a watch like that, so huge congratulations are in order
I know it won't be long before I see it live and try it on myself looking forward to that
by the way wonderful photographs too
I'll go and cry now... as I promised Stijn I was the one to buy an AP first to become the second AP owner in our #BelgianWristwatchClub
Well done my friend

Now that's what I call a back slapping welcome to the AP club.

In response to some of the ^^ comments:

The pin buckle and the strap are both major feats of engineering. Enough give in the strap to make pulling the watch on a doddle and the pin buckle literally snaps into place. I love the tinkling sound the pin makes when you're holding the watch off wrist.

In the last few years of wearing vintage, I've never had any comments or as much as a second glance. On my first day of wearing this watch, I've had three comments (from people I know).

This is no watch for a shrinking violet. You need to have the confidence to wear it and I did have a few wobbles today when I looked down at it.

I wear my watches tight. It didn't dig into my wrist or feel uncomfortable in any way.

Remarkable watch from AP.

Thank you for all your kind comments.

GROUP HUG

PS I hate wrist shots, because I can't take them on my own with my DSLR and my iphone is not great, but will try.

Opening up the watchbox for a new watch brings me great joy.

Opening up the watchbox for a new AP brings me to a state of shock.

Very nice!
