Congratulations. The RG RO with a leather strap was one of my first AP loves.

AP's Rose Gold with a brown strap is my favorite! It's certainly beyond my budget, but I think it is one of the most classy ways to go. Congrats! PS. Also a classy lady to go with the watch

Actually my favorite RO.

I like the Chrono - not as bulky as the ROO. Looks more "classic" than an Offshore if you do not have a large wrist.

Romain Rea at Rue de Bac was a nice place to visit. Although it was extremely moist and hot inside even at springtime. www.romainrea.com

VisaW, I am in the same situation as You. Have been looking for "the watch" for years now, and after a few errors I have landed on planet AP just as you. You are surely aware of the Collectors Market on this site? Also Chrono24 has some ads with links to private sellers as well as second hand stores
