Something very special about buying your first AP.
I think I searched for five years before I found and pulled the trigger to purchase my first AP in 1997. Some things are worth waiting for and wearing a AP is one of those things.

A few years later my obsession with AP led me to a website named ThePuristS.com and then a few years later all hell broke loose, starting with AP #2 below.

What will be or what was your first AP??
Daos started a terrific thread recently on "Dream AP's". Certainly lots of good models in there. It made me wonder, how did current AP fans officially enter into the brand, and for those who plan on their first AP, which one are you thinking of? Mine was ...
My first was the Ti Montoya.
Picture taken on the Collectors Market. Sold one year later, after several problems with the rotor and the crown... And a hand which wanted to take some holidays... Then, I got this COS: Which was not very comfortable to wear, at least on my wrist. So, ...
It is not, by far!
there are much more to consider. I remember a certain Metropolis, for example, or an Equation Of Time, which had some big impact on me. Best, Nicolas
My first AP...
...was an 18K dress watch on a gator strap. Automatic caliber 2120. I believe at the time it was from what AP called its "Classic" line. I bought it in the late 1980s after selling a Patek and a couple Vacherons. Unfortunately, that watch is long gone, re...
First AP
My first AP was the 15300 and it is still one of my favorite watches. I always look forward to strapping it on my wrist. All the best, J. ...

ROO rubberclad - Barrichello TI/41mm steel - EOT?
My first AP was a ROO rubberclad just like yours Michael, with a silver/white dial. I LOVED IT! That watch had no peers in its heyday. Sold that when I got a Barrichello Ti - and I have never found another AP that costs less than a ferrari that I liked as...
Side picture for those buying the new 44 AP's
Just thought I would show this picture of my brother-in-law's new 44mm ROO... I love the new 44's, but buyer beware that they fit more like a 46-47mm Panerai. Likewise, the new 41mm RO's feel more like a 42-43mm watch. ...
Such a hard question...
Don't own an AP yet. Been lusting after one for a while now. Still just don't know how the watch fits on my small wrist, but always loved the Royal Oak Jumbo, the Grand Sonnerie Dynamograph, perhaps a minute repeater, and I only like the Millenary in the ...
15300 is my first AP...
...and I think you can't go wrong with a Royal Oak. For good, or ill (depending upon your perspective), the Royal Oak (and ROO) has become the signature collection from Audemars Piguet. Cheers, Daos
for me,
this is my first AP which was purchased in the mid last year.. and this one 3 months ago the future... still deciding =D ...

This is it! The one that pushed me over! And the slope got real slippery after that.... ...
My first AP
I bought my first AP in 2009, after that only AP: 1. ROO Rubberclad with a steel case and a black dial (sold); 2. ROO Rubberclad with a rosegold case and of course a black dial (sold); 3. ROO Jarno Trulli ltd. with a carbon case and a black dial (still ha...
my first was.......
I really like it still,so well executed and pleasant,a very charming watch. Unfortunately It had to go,because of this.....oh well! Mo ...
First AP was rare...
...and I keep looking for even rarer ones (but no more ROO's for me)... :) ROO Wempe Scuba S. ...
My first AP
Was a black dialed 15300. Sold it to buy a Rolex 116610 Submariner Date. I am interested in the new 15400, and I hope to try it on some day soon :) Thomas ...
