Hello from Norway!

Hello.

 

Signed up in August 2013. But after many hours of reading threads, I decided to take a part of this forum. Looking forward to get to know you guys and getting my very own collection!

 

I study finance and work in a brokerfirm. Since I wear suit everyday, dressy watches is something im looking for. AP 15400 for example...

 

Tips?

Daywatch

Hi and welcome to posting. The AP15400 is a wonderful watch. Just perfect and thin with the Myota movement (but for the time being difficult to get with everything aligned). Others I like are the Vacheron Constantin Overseas (again choose the thinnest available), the JLC master Geographique Dual Time with the 23j movement and the IWC Laureus Sports ...... Moving away from he typical office watch I find the Tudor Blackbay, Omegas and Breitlings good ways to go too.

I recently ordered a AP 15400 myself. I'm yet to receive it.

I ordered one with ETA movement so it's a bit tick, but no one I know even knows what an Audemars Piguet is anyways.

 

Ha en god dag.

Welcome! 15400 is a superb rep to get started with. RG YG and SS all have their merits. Best of luck!

Looking forward to see the pictures! Which color? I feel the blue pops out, but the black one is safer.... What to do...

Nice watches! But I really want high quality reps. Tips?

Hello & welcome.

 

If you are looking for a dress watch, close to gen in aesthetics, and of excellent quality, look at the SW200 variant of the Patek Philippe Nautilus.

I went the safe route and ordered black. The watch landed in Oslo this morning so I expect it to arrive tomorrow. Pictures will come.

Just ordered the AP 15400 Miyota from Toro. Can`t wait!

I just checked that one out and damn that looks good. Engraving on the movement and thinner rubber gasket between the bezel and the case than on mine.

Now I which I ordered that one instead... :suicide:

 

If i lie down in the bed and stare at the ceiling long enough, maybe the urge will go away?

It was the AP 15400 or the Nautilus SW200 I wanted to buy first....

 

The Nautilus is next on my bucketlist.. Blue dial :B): :thumbsup:

Good choice of TD. Toro is my favourite (and main supplier). Well, shipping time to Scandinavia (where I am) has been real varied. One package came within 7 days of payment sent. Another came almost three weeks later. Patience, son. You'll need a lot of that in this hobby....
