This one surprised me in many ways. Not really planned although I knew the next watch I wanted was one with a light dial. I had black, dark grey and blue dials but nothing light dialed so a light dial was going to be my next watch but I really didn't know which one or when. Out of the blue while visiting a jeweler friend, he told me he had something to show me that he had just taken in to sell from a regular customer. When I saw the outer box he took from the safe, my curiosity soared. When I opened the inner wooden box, my jaw dropped. There it was! My light dialed watch. This was the one, there was no doubt in my mind nor hesitation in my voice. Let's make it happen. My first AP, a beautiful discontinued model, apparently almost never worn by its previous owner but now expected to be worn in a regular rotation by its very happy new owner.

No wonder you're knee deep, you jumped in with both feet — the only way to do it.
Congrats on your silver dial 15300 acquisition.

Huge congrats, love the 15300, looks however as it may have had a bad polish over the years. Would be easier to see if we could get some pictures of where the bezel meets the bracelet.

Thanks, the picture does the condition no justice. Indistiguishable from new.
