Wow. I've got to say that I'm not a fan of AP RO, but if I saw this one in the flesh I'd definitely look and examine.

I like the result quite a lot better than the previous configuration of black bezel insert and croco strap satisfied.gifWarning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Interesting.  I always thought they were more popular in Asia.  Thanks correcting that misperception.  There are definitely other brands I'd choose over a GS, but that's just me.

Congrats!  Thats a beauty.  I like it far more than the skeletonized version of the 15300 (the 15305).  Enjoy it!

LOL at the idea of Comic Sans on a watch dial. It's probably been done though, cause that $hit is ubiquitous. How it ever jumped from the colored superhero pages, I'll never understand.

Back from servicing. The JLC service center gave me a bit of a scare at first, but in the end they took care of it so I'm a happy camper again

Glad to hear everything worked out.  What was the problem and what was the scare that you mentioned?
