Thank you I’m indeed an addict of horology and I’m fortunate to own many sought after time pieces notable with a logo involving a crown, but after adding this 1st AP to my collection I feel I won’t be giving much wrist time to my Rolex watches anymore. AP is next level man, love the sport and luxury melded into one; truly happy to be able to wear a work of art. I have the same exact watch as you, white dial. What a beauty she is. Got mine sized but AP boutique I acquired it from didn’t have a watch maker rather a SA sized my watch for me. One thing that I’m unsure of is that the AP logo clasp doesn't sit right in the middle of my wrist, so I asked the SA to take one more link off from the 6 o’clock position and add it to the 12 o’clock side. But for some reason he was adamant that the sizing should have even amount of links on both sides. Any thoughts on this? I removed 3 links and she fits well but at the end of the day gets snug. Maybe I am OCD but my Rolex watches the 6 o’clock side had less links when sizing than the 12 so the clasp sits right in the middle of the wrist, and the dial sits more towards the wearer when wearing. Haven’t taken it off since I put it on yesterday, deciding if I want to bring it in again to size it the way I asked originally. Again couldn’t agree with you more you knew this was your grail before owning, but I had to own it and add it to my collection to know I have my grail now as well!
“One of the coolest features of the Royal Oak is the crown, which positions the AP logo at the upright position when screwed in.“
This has always been a pet peeve of mine with so many brands; a small detail, but also hugely appreciated and aesthetically pleasing. I wish more companies would care enough to fix this!

An icon among the icons. Congrats on this beautiful piece!
