edgematic1 Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hey guys, Since the beginning of the X-mas Holiday I haven't been around that much. This due to a sh*tload of work and due to the fact that I have been sick for a couple of weeks, infected with a bacteria. All the food during the X-mas period did me no good! I will get back on track and follow up on the new threads. Since the end of November I had been on the lookout for a new piece. I had set my eyes on the 15300 rose gold with black gator strap and black dial. A few weeks later I found some. I also found an AP 26300 ROC Panda. One of my favourite pieces from AP as well (in my price range...). The ROC and RG RO were in the same price range. I love both and in the end I decided to pick the 26300 as it suits my lifestyle better. Next to that I feel the movement is a bit more complicated and the AP 2385 movement is one of the best out there in my opinion. So let's fast forward, I bought my piece around the 10th of January. It's a 2012 H-series and it was LNIB. Still under warranty I did not hesitate long and went for it. After some troubles with the customs I finally could lay my hands on my piece this week. I bought this piece for a special occasion as well. I turned 25 on the 30th of December. It's my birthday gift to myself . The 26300 is the follow up on the 25860. Basically AP redesigned the case (it still looks the same though) and they used new dial combo's. Blue, brown and white. The 25860 didn't have screws that went from top to bottom, the bezel screws were more placed for aesthetics than for functionality. The 26300 has white gold screws that go from top to bottom like the original Royal Oak design. An extra reason to pick this one. I also love the fact it's a bit thicker, makes the watch sporty as well. In my opinion an extremely versatile piece! I love it! Some pictures: Better pics, not mine: Thanks guys!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromag Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Very nice! Love the red accents. Congrats! What's the diameter of that case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgematic1 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Very nice! Love the red accents. Congrats! What's the diameter of that case? It's a 39mm, but wears bigger due to the case shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
