Incoming!!! My first AP



First of all I must thank every single one in this forum, for the great help and info they provide to us, and for helping me choose my first AP.

After looking at and trying on many AP's, and with the help from you guys. I finally chose my first AP, It is the one that I liked the most from the beginning, but I had to see the other choices.
I checked them out while I was on vacation in Paris, and checked out the prices. Having that info, I called the AP boutique in Kuwait and talked with the salesman that I saw when I visited the boutique a while ago, and gave him the best price that I got. He took 10 minutes and called back giving me a great price, not cheaper than Paris but really close. I decided to get it from the boutique in Kuwait and man am I glad that I did.

I asked for the catalog and he gave me these




I asked him if he had the Royal Oak book and he gave me one with the deal


And now the goods










Also got the bracelet , will be enjoying it on the rubber until the heart tells me to switch to bracelet


A couple more pics for you guys




And again big thanks to you guys!!!

That's a great choice! I really like the diver. If I was to get another AP, it's the diver.

How much extra dough is the bracelet BTW?

I got it for $3000, they said that was the cost price and they weren't getting any profit from it.
