My very first AP! *Pics inside*
I wont lie to you, I don't know a lot about watches. But after a year of so of drooling over AP's and PP's on the web and with a lot of help and support from my older brother PorscheFanatic, watchspotter extraordinaire, I finally mustered the strength to actually go through with a purchase. And I will never look back.
I decided on Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak. Reference 15300 with a black dial. Considering my personal prefence is the RO with a white dial, I am extremely happy and satisfied with what I chose. I've had this watch on my wrist for only a few hours and I already love it to death. I found it two weeks back on Chrono24 and the timing was just right. I'd managed to save up just enough coin to treat myself to something nice and it feels like I've hit a home run. Never having owned a proper wrist watch before and at merely 20 years old, this was a huge step for me. But I must admit it feels great. I love every little detail of it, though my used peice is far from flawless. It has a few dings here and there and isn't polished to perfection, but everything runs and feels great.
I reculantly took off my newly aquired best friend for a brief moment to treat it to a late night shoot with my DSLR, but the conditions were terrible. Poor lightning and a watch full of fingerprints isn't a photographers wet dream but I hope you still enjoy the pics! Thanks Felix!!!

From your pics it looks like its in very good condition, I'd say 7500 is a steal. Aren't those $25k new?
