An introduction
Hello all, I have been a very long time lurker here, have spend months and years trawling through the depth of information. I have always been meaning to post pictures etc, but.... well I have been lazy! Well, I finally wiped the dust of the camera, and t...
re: intro
Hello Imran, I like pic #2 of the AP in the cool blue bowl. Have you looked into the new 2012 pieces? Maybe add a AP carbon forge variant to the list? -MW
Thanks Doc
The one AP that still really sings to me is the Diver, the previous one. I like the Forged Carbon look on the new one, but will wait to see it in the flesh, am unsure about the dial. I do love all of the skeletonised ROs though, beautifully designed watch...

Thanks Nico
A high percentage of your posts are responsible for driving my watch passion. A lot of the watches on my grail list you have covered in detail, so take full credit/blame hahahaha
Welcome Imran.
Splendid introduction and great pictures of your watches. Don't worry you are not the only one hère that has an addiction. I would add that I find it a perfectly healthy addiction for my part. Nice grail list, for some reason these types of lists always s...
Welcome to Watcholics Anonymous :-)
Very nice pieces there Imran, actually I was intrigued by the scene behind your watch in the first pic, is that a Mughal procession? The Lange Zeitwerk in White Gold and Black Dial is fantastic and so is the Rolex Red Sub, however Vintage Rolex collecting...
Hi Salman
Yes you're right, it is a Mughal procession, its an ornamental box made with the design painted all the way around. I have been doing a wealth of reading into vintage rolexes, thanks to many great posts here, and living in Hong Kong there are quite a few ...
Lucky You! Hong Kong is great for watch shopping...
there are a number of great dealers there with a fantastic selection and the collectors there are passionate and knowledgeable, how has your experience been? S
It doesn't get better as far as watches go
You have every single brand represented here, the large, the small.... watching spotting is an hourly semi hourly every minute thing! And as I am starting to explore the vast world of vintages, I discover more dealers and great displays... I can go and se...
Welcome
Welcome Imran. Nice intro and great pics of your AP ROC. I like the brown croco strap that you put on it. Regards, ED-209
Thanks very much Ed
I also bought the rubber strap for it, just waiting for my state of the art screwdriver set to arrive, so I can change everything myself at home
Welcome and congrats!
You have acquired one of my favorite pieces, the Royal Oak Chronograph with the silver and grey dial. It will serve you well. Thanks for the insight into your other pieces and grails; you have some real heavy hitters on that list ;-)
Thanks Michael
Yep, some real heavy hitters on that list, they will take a while of ever!! but hey, thats what grail lists are all about! Thanks for your kind words, it is a great watch. Do you still have your ROC racer? when I saw your pics of that, it really pushed me...
Indeed, we all have those lists...
And that is what separates those Grails. I myself hope to someday own one of the complicated Millenary pieces, such as the Deadbeat Seconds. A good friend is enjoying the ROC Racer presently. It is such a spectacular dial and can pair with many AP straps....
Ha, in my Grail List 2... there are many!
But if I included every watch I wanted in the list - it would be 20-40 deep!! I tried to keep it down to watches I have seen and touched in the flesh, and have sung to me ever since that day. The RG Nautlilus, the beautiful World timer are on the second l...
Welcome!
Congratulations on your nice collection, and may you achieve all your grail watches and more! Cheers, Daos
Great introductory post
I think you made an excellent choice with the AP.. and well the strap is to die for in equal measures to the watch, both together look fantastic. In regards to the Rolex I like your choice I went for "the standard" black on black for my everyday (16610 en...
