Dear Hanz
I am not the kind who has any interest with the ultra high end especially the three holy trinity AP, PP and VC.... I do admire the craftsmanship but I could not imagine bringing myself to buy those three, One as I am not keen with the design, two for the price is really crazy to me. But that about to change.
When I first read your posting, I look at your pictures and wonder what make you go crazy over it.... I am thinking perhaps I would not fall for the same trap...I was wrong
One hour later a friend called me up for a drink....so happened he own AP Royal Oak 42mm.... He is a deep pocket guy but I have no Idea whether this is an original piece or not, dare not to ask but I assume for someone who drove a Porsche it must be real.......and not that I care at that time, to me what ever it is , this is the first time I saw an AP live and have the oppurtinity to molest.....
And I am not the kind who like small watches. Mine is always 44mm and above.... But this AP royal oak come with a significant aura. The simplicity of the design is stunning. It look exactly NOT like in picture. No picture can explain the feeling and sensation. Yes like you Hanz, I am in love. For two nights I cant stop thinking about it and still drooling over it....It is crazy.... Albeit being smaller than what I would usually like, it felt so damn good on my wrist, it is almost perfect.....I have this weird tingling feeling, the very same feeling i felt when I fall in love with my wife and exes last time.... No watch has ever give me this feeling....it is love....it is nothing else....
So yeah, I am planning to either rob a bank or casino...something ala ocean eleven....i really NEED this watch.....or else, I will start to track you down hanz....better keep yours safe....hehehhehe
