Incoming! Finally - A member of "Club ROC"!
It felt like an eternity; in reality it was only on order for about 2 1/2 months. Obtained my first high end watch - the 26331ST (Blue). I am thrilled. I know my pics aren't the quality of some of the folks (Ben!) but I wanted to get the post and then get better at the pics, in different light, macro, etc. A big shout out to my AD in Greenwich, CT. (and thanks to christianj for the referral!). Also thanks to this forum, and all of the thoughts and posts along the way. You all really confirmed my choice in AP! For the longest time I had my eye on an ALS 1815 but I felt to start I wanted a watch that easily worked for dressed up and down - and where sweat wouldn't hurt the band. This watch will be my daily wear for the most part, except for grungy activities!

Hell of a first high end watch! Congrats, it's a beauty.

Are you still aiming for an 1815? I just love ALS and think it would make a great pair with your ROC!

That would be my dream, yes. Won't be for a while for sure - but I LOVE the 1815 up/down!

I didn't think the new ROC in blue would be in that much in demand. I still remember walking into the AP boutique in NYC back in March and them having it in stock and letting me try on.

I suspect for me it was just timing - the AD did not have anyone on the wait list, so I was first in line for the piece and I guess the factory owed the AD a shipment.

Agree 100% I have always worn watch on left wrist, because of various sports it’s thicker than right and the AP lays flatter.

Thanks everyone for the congrats, happy to be an owner and member of the TRF. After first day on wrist I think it's pretty much dead on time vs. USNO clock sync from 24 hours ago.
