projectologist Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Panerai and Rolex have pretty much been the only watches on my wrist consistently for the past 10 years or so. So I thought it was time to try out something other than a black dial. I've always liked AP's when I've seen them in pics and on other wrists. But when I tried them on, I just didn't feel it enough to keep one. Limited Edition of 300 and I really like it so far. Thanks to member Dylan for the smooth transaction I went with a rubber strap for now until I decide what's next for this one Some phone pics from this afternoon just after it arrived...

projectologist Posted December 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Looks great Haven't ventured down the AP ROO path yet but I'm tempted regularly.... Same for me the past couple of years. The fit and finish is impressive, although I'm used to looking down on my wrist and seeing a watch that's a little more understated color-wise. Time will tell, but I think a Ti bead blasted Chrono Passion may be next Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projectologist Posted December 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Looks good strange that the blue in this pic mmatches the blue in your pam signature Funny you mention that... I was munching on my favorite snack food last night and noticed both the font color and background color were a close match to the AP. Even the subtle reddish-brown color of the subdials was the same (a little hard to see in the pic with the lack of AR on the xtal). I wonder if someone at the corporate office owns the same AP model?

mikellem Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Robert, I have to say you have the AP Disease. I talked to the watch Doctor and he said the only cure for you to feel better and not blue, Is to get another AP Watch when you can... Cheers my friend..

Jkay Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 The Montauk Highway runs through the heart of the Hamptons in New York and for some distance along the cliffs overhanging the Atlantic Ocean. My summer house is locked up for the winter but when I go out there in a few months, I'll post pics. But that is why it's accented as blue, probably. Altho the Atlantic up here is a green ocean, not blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Ohoh....I hear a story I do remember very good (beside the Rolex part). I for one was (and still am when it comes to gen) on the Panerai road since 2000 for the real deal, discovered reps of my beloved brand in 2003 and build up a nice OP rep-collection beside my gens. But AP ROO´s have always been in my mind since the 1990ies when I started collecting watches...the ROO was my goal and dream watch. With these reps I can fullfill my lust for the Genta-design, a unique styled watch but without paying a fortune to own one. Now I have 17 ROO´s and RO´s I change wearing daily....and I am not yet ready with AP So welcome to the club...enjoy Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fotoman Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 AP is one of my favorite. The only one I have never considered selling. And that's what 40watches over the years? Now, want to take t to the next level? Get the crystal AR'd I could give a crap if that's what the gen is. But it looks soo much better.
