My personal conspiracy theory is they added chemicals to it to make production cheaper as I now get hangovers from it and I actually get drunk from the stuff. This used not to happen. I think the reality is I am just getting older and have lost ,my tolerance for alcohol :(. Never mind going back from APs to Rolex, I think I am going back to my roots and find myself going all Omega recently. Even thinking of selling a pile of reps to get some gen Omegas. Still have not even looked at what I am bringing over to the UK. I think I will only take a 8 watch travel case with me, I might only bring a 2 watch case to be on the safe side. If I take one of the full boxes I might have some explaining to do in Airport security. I can just see that convo now. "why so many watches?" "because I am going to meet up with with some watch nutjobs in Halifax" "really?" "well if I told you I was there for the sheep you might lock me up, I thought is was a good cover" PS I have been told Yorkshire sheep are prettier than Wicklow sheep, so if I go out for a stroll and do not come back for a while please do not call the cops.

The problem is APs with metal bracelets do not go too well into watch travel cases, they just do not flex enough to lie flat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
