So I was tiring of my Rolex YG 18038 day date. As a young guy it just didn't suit my style and I felt really self conscious wearing it around. I was trying to think of a good trade to do so I could at least put that money towards something special.

I went hesitantly down to 47th street today to try on an AP 15300, and brought my Rolex just in case.

They had the blue dial version in excellent condition and it was just perfect, so a trade and a little money changed hands and I am now the psyched (still shaking) owner of my first AP.

I immediately understood why this design and bracelet are worshipped, and the way it shimmers and shines is incredible. Plus the cherry on top is seeing the movement and carved rotor in the back.

Yeah I really liked the blue but didn't think I'd luck into one randomly, made it seem meant to be and it is way more legible than I was lead to worry about from seeing pictures. Sure under direct bright light at some angles it is hard to read, but indoors or most situations it is super legible. Was gunning for a white, but the blue is awesome and changes from blue to light grey and lots of shade in between!

Lovely!

sennheiserz · 11 July 2014, 07:23 AM

Well I already had to give it back as it was running 17 seconds fast per minute. Nervous about letting them work on it, but I've been given the option to take it to the AD if I satisfied in any way and they will cover the cost. Fingers crossed.

I think the Royal oak chrono is outsourced...which begs the question is it more accurate on average? Oh well as long as they are close. 17 per minute! Not going to fly

Congrats!

benlee · 11 July 2014, 10:54 AM

It's a worthly trade. Looks really great. Congrats and welcome to AP!

Now you should start exploring the offshore as well.

For a year I figured if I ever got an AP it would be a Safari or Diver. But being able to see that movement is half the fun and the bracelet blew my mind when I started to try the standard royal oaks on.
