45. Currently own a FC Jarno TrullI, SS Openworked and a 15300 black. I've worn the Trulli almost everyday for the past 2+ years, and have never once thought I am too old to wear it. Imho, AP makes the best looking luxury sport watches, and they look great on the wrist whether you're 25 or 55.

Very well said, and watch looks wonderful!

27. AP 15202. I'm in sales at a big company. The only time I feel weird wearing my AP is when someone comments on how I am wearing their car on my wrist lol.

Guess they need to step it up!

I first became aware of AP at 18 when my mates dad bought a gold jumbo and I loved it. I bought my first AP (offshore) at 35, bought a Diver a year later, a rose gold rubberclad at 40 and a platinum offshore at 45.

What age are you and what AP

I no longer have it but I got my AP ROO when I was 26 from my ex wife. She knew I really loved APs and called my dealer at the time in Philly and he sent me the watch to "try out" for a 3 day weekend. Someone bought it and returnees it a week later so he had no issues with me trying it out. On Monday she told me she purchased it for me. I really loved it until I tried on a 44 and the titanium scratched pretty bad.

I really like the 26170ti. I think this is the only photo I've seen of one on here.

Thanks. It's a great watch and it was so light. It just always seemed to scratch easily

Recently turned 34 but got my first AP RO15400 in March 2017 when I was 33. When I first started getting into watches about 10 years ago, I never thought I'd be able to afford an AP RO. It's one of those "I made it" milestones I wanted to achieve.

69 and looking to buy a 15400 SS silver dial when David SW gets one in. I think the Rolex watches look more like an older persons watch than the AP. The AP has a more modern shape to it.

This is so cool but crazy. I have this vision of "Sandlot" where Smalls uses his dad's Babe Ruth baseball for the pickup game!

My old roommates dad is Dan Jennings the VP of the marlins and managed them
A while. We were in a bar and one of our other room mates was wearing his 03 ring. It slid off his finger and the top crown fell off. Dan was so relaxed about it he said that's. Or the real one it's just an exact replica.

60 & 26331ST - Blue ROC (when it arrives in October!). Like David (64) in an earlier post, I've only recently felt comfortable with my finances in order to justify the purchase. Comfortable meaning I know I can retire (if I want to) without any financial worries. That and I was only really bitten by the watch bug about 1-2 years ago.

I do think it's awesome that so many of you are younger. In general you all must be super successful (and, I suspect, hard working) to be able to engage in a relatively expensive (but satisfying) hobby, especially for those with significant collections.

PS - I don't "feel" 60!
