Back in the AP mix

Hey gents,
Been way too long away from the brand. The 15202 didn’t work for my wrist (6.5 / bony) so I moved it about 2 years ago. Yes, pre boom, dulp. When this was announced early in the year, I was immediately excited once again about the prospects of adding an AP. Of course, I don’t really have a long history with an AP dealer and my AD from the jumbo doesn’t get quality inventory. Called around and located a boutique willing to sell me one so I provided a deposit in April 2019. Per usual the incomings starting inSeptember kicked off my impatience but I tried to play it cool. The days were winding down but she came in! It’s stunning. I’m very excited. I think I only need one link out which is odd for my small wrist, maybe it’s meant for the ladies lol. I can’t really comment about the taper versus the 15450, they may be similar but it doesn’t bother me AT ALL. I do recall not liking the 15450 when I tried it on thinking the dial was too small which this chrono does not suffer from. Anyways, happy to be back.

Photos are erroring on me. I promise, it’s the White Dial 38 chrono.

Congrats, bro! Interested to hear your thoughts on the ROC. I’ve been looking at the same one. I recently got back to AP also with the 15300.

Same wrist situation as you... I’m floundering on the waitlist right now. Can’t wait for it.

Is the width of the bracelet at the buckle the same width as the Daytona’s?

From the naked eye I’d say the buckle is 1-2mm smaller on the AP. It’s a non issue though, this watch is killer. May even seek the pair if a smaller offshore doesn’t get released 2020

Thought about a pic but the cases got too close for comfort so passed
