I stumbled across this photo earlier of my old office. I bought my first AP in 2001, a silver rubberlcad. I could not imagine how many AP logos are throughout my house, whether they be on a watch or a book or a clock or a shirt or.... its a lot. Been a fu...

Seems like yesterday !.... what AP are you going for next Michael ?
This is a great question, Cap.

I am on the 15202 WG list, but who knows if or when that ever happens. Maybe a steel perpetual Royal Oak, maybe a if a new dial comes along that excites me. I really want that case in my collection.
Incredible story!!

Thank you for sharing that, Michael. All the brand-related ephemera is part of the fun, no? I got my first AP in 2009, a RO Jumbo 15002. Last year I added the Survivor, as you know, and passion for that beast has only grown. All the best, respo
I remain so happy for your Survivor...

I purchased my first AP in 1997, a Nick Faldo RG RO. I eventually found and that rocked my world. I officially became an AP nut. Sure has been a fun ride, especially getting to meet such an amazing group of watch enthusiasts. Even better getting to hang ...
