40th on my 40th

 
 By: MichaelC : April 17th, 2014-12:16
Last week, I celebrated my 40th Birthday in quiet fashion with my Family. I would only wear an AP for such a special occasion, and for this one, the correct AP seemed to be an easy choice. I wonder what AP might release for the 50th Anniversary of the Roy...  

LOL, you are too kind.

And thanks, Nicolas.

Thanks my Friend :-) [nt]

Thanks Ernesto, and Happy Birthday to you as well!

Friends + Family + AP... what could be better?

Happy 40th

A good choice to take you through a significant milestone....to some I guess. I crossed mine last year, and at this stage, I could do without the reminders, but on a day to day basis, reminders are becoming more of a requirement! Happy belated birthday, M... 

Thanks Richard.

I must admit, over the years, I have never been a "birthday guy". But when I had children, they became so excited for my birthday that eventually I did too. 40 is quite a milestone, and I did enjoy it. My wife does tell me I need more reminding these days... 

Happy BDay! [nt]

There's no better choice than to have the new 15202 to celebrate this important milestone :) Like you, I'm also full of excitement for the 50th anniversary jumbo, although it's a tad too early to even anticipate :D Happy belated birthday my friend!

Appreciate the warm wishes Wayne.

Definitely a bit early for the 50th. I would be quite thrilled to celebrate every 10 years with a new Anniversary Oak though :-)

Happy Birthday Michael!

What can I wish you? Plenty of AP's and great reports! Regards, Constantin

I appreciate those wishes!

Thanks tudorctin!

happy birthday!

one of the reasons I got my jumbo was to celebrate my 40th! seemed fitting, as you indicated.

It seems to be a theme...

 
 By: MichaelC : April 18th, 2014-20:02
And a very rewarding one!

Happy Birthday Michael !

welcome to the dark side of 40

Thanks a lot Noah.

It was a pleasure meeting you a few times last year and I hope to see you sometime soon. PS, regarding 40, "I get it". ;-)

It's never too late for best wishes

All the best dear Michael Apart from love to watches, and many of them similar, I didn't know that we also share astrological sign :) Sincerely Damjan

Thank you Damjan...

A fellow Aries! Have you recently celebrated your birthday?

Two weeks ago ;)

 
 By: Ares501 - Mr Green : April 19th, 2014-11:00
You know what will be extremely cool if we could celebrate together :) :)

I would very much enjoy that!

One day, we shall see to it.

Happy belated Bday!

Happy Bday Mikey! -MW ...  

Thanks my good Friend.

Next time we get together we'll make sure to have a "blast". :-)

Hehehehe...

Perfect selection for a special day.

Happy Birthday MichaelC. I am not sure the Jumbo can be improved on for your 50th, in ten years you will still think it is the perfect AP. All the best and many more, JerryW

I'm sure you are right.

 
 By: MichaelC : April 21st, 2014-06:03
The 15202 has become my go to watch. It is really something to get to know first hand. Thanks for the wishes Jerry.

Sometimes...

 
 By: passetemps : April 22nd, 2014-10:00
Sometimes I wish that i was born in 1972, just like the Royal Oak Jumbo. Like you, i've missed the historical date by two years, but in my case on "the opposite side of time" :-( In any case, i am loving more each day the new version. It is my perfect wat... 

Thanks for your words Frank.

 
 By: MichaelC : April 23rd, 2014-06:25
You have managed to bring out the fascination with the Royal Oak Extra Thin. I would not say it has made me enjoy my other pieces less - when I wear them I still love them - but I definitely don't miss anything else while wearing the 15202.

Thank you! [nt]
