AP spotted in the wild last night . . .
. . . at the seaside dive bar. The guy was in his mid-twenties; don't know if it was his only watch, but his buddy was wearing a Sub and also owns an AP, as well as another Sub. There's hope for the future if Gen-X is getting into mechanical watches! Now,...

All good!
Tough call in a low light situation like a pool hall. Usually the bracelets reflect light pretty close to the real thing even on the bad fakes. There’s a forum on Reddit called r/Reptime that I peruse every once in a while just to keep my eye out for tell...
