In honor of our site founder Dr. Thomas Mao, show us your first AP!
Miki made a wonderful post on HoMe about TM's deserving recognition in October's Robb Report "The Robb 50 Most Influential Connoisseurs".
Thanks to Thomas, I began to really delve into Audemars Piguet in 2001. My first AP was the Offshore Rubberclad, shown here on my honeymoon in the somewhat famous photo "Basking in the Maui Sun". AP has played a big part of my daily life for almost 15 years now, and that is all because of thePuristS and now PuristSPro.
Sincerest thanks for everything, Thomas
