made "The Decision" - pics

[bigdeal]

Once I saw that Lebron James was wearing this baby on his ESPN primetime decision special ( http://www.luxist.com/2010/07/09/lebron-james-wearing-his-audemars-piguet-royal-oak-offshore-volc/ ) I had to have one. (well a rep at least...)

Got this from Hont, and I really like it. Probably my new favorite watch. It has a really solid/heavy feel to it, and I think it looks great. Much bigger than I thought it would be too. I always end up reaching for watches with steel bracelets, so I went with that instead of the leather. Hont was great about getting that for me.

My only complaint is that the sec @ 12 is pretty "jumpy". I've read here that it's pretty common, and actually seems to keep getting better the more I wear it....

Anyway, I'm "taking my talents to the camera". What do the experts think?

That's one "heavy-lookin'" watch you have acquired, BigDeal. Looks nice & heavy, as you described. Beautiful, too! Congrats and good luck with it!!

Nice watch!

Does it have the silver outlines around the numerals?

Hi bigdeal.

First off, congratulations on your new acquisition; the Volcano is one of the nicest APs out there. If your seconds hand is jumpy, I'd have it serviced by one of the resident experts on the forum. This way you're assured of having your watch in good working condition for a long time to come.

Thanks for the compliments everyone

I would, but I just know I'd wouldn't wear it as much...

How do you guys get such nice wristshots? When I try to do that it comes out horrible. Do you have someone else taking the picture?

Nice watch!

Yup, hard to see in the pics, but it does...

Yeah, probably will do that eventually. Once the newness wears off and I won't miss it for a while...

Great looking watch, big. I wish I could talk myself into getting an AP, they're just too small for me. But it's a damn fine timepiece.

I thought they looked small in the pics too, but this thing wears big... I'd say bigger than a DSSD...

:facepalm: don't tell me that... now I'll have to try one!!! :lol1:
BTW, the bracelet was the right choice... I think if I get one, it'll definitely be on one as well.

But is it the latest model with the correct Orange Dial Tachy color ?...

I've been on the fence about one of these for a while too... Nice choice BD - looks great!

One of my favourite AP's, great choice on the SS band! You'll enjoy this beast
