Mike, thank you sir. i hope there will be many to come as well!
naz Allah yebarik fek yal7abeeb thank you!
swordsman, agreed! it sits very well on the wrist, and i like its weight. for me, it is not as comfortable strapping it in/taking it off yet, but i am working on that THANK YOU sir
IIVX cheers!
Hani awesome, rabbi yebaarik fek yal3ooooud ma tegassir


UPDATE: i emailed apbands for a custom folding clasp, they said they would not make one BUT they can offer a "24mm double fold deployant" so i am waiting on more information regarding that. crossing my fingers here because i plan to W E A R this watch and i would love to have a convenient/fast way to put it on and take it off.
also started a thread on purists and i will share the information here as it becomes available hopefully

 

Good Call!! You've wanted it so badly :P

enjoy it in the best of health!

 

thanks a lot bro! haha yeah man i did even though i only saw it once in real life and that was 2 weeks to the day before the purchase.

MEANWHILE , still waiting on apbands to get back to me on the deployant. i feel childish saying it but i am getting a bit annoyed every time i want to put on the watch to pull the strap, and twice as much annoyed when i want to take it off in trial of pulling out the tang buckle. especially that i prefer to wear watches on the right

still, it IS a lot more comfortable than the Panda once on the wirst, but to me it has nothing to do with the clasp (never irritated my wrist and not sure what everyone refers to when they say it does).
rather, the weight is just right - i am a guy who prefers to feel weight on his wrist and not a big fan of "light" watches (have decided against watches for that sole reason) and love the Panda for the extra heft, but the GP is 'better' in a way i think.
also, because of that extra 'bracket' opposite the chronos
it gives that extra bit of surface area and prevents the watch from sliding (as with the softer cased ROOs) if you bend your wrist

AP should just suck it up and offer their single-fold clasp in 24mm

 

Congrats on such an awesome Purchase
