Incoming - First AP, probably not my last

Fell in love with the RO a few months ago and had to have the silver dial 15400. Went for it. Fits great in the collection and wears so well on the wrist. Blue dial next!

Great choice and entry into AP, I'd go for the blue ROC next, if not a navy ROO, your wrist could take one.

Congrats!!!! Great watch - and addition to your collection.

Be careful though!!! AP collecting can QUICKLY become a very slippery slope!!! One, can quickly yield a desire to add 4 more plus!!

You’re right. I’m non-stop looking at them now. Need a PM RO soon to replace my PM Daytona I just parted with.

Very nice. Really like the grey/ silver dial more vs black and white ones. Blue of course still the best.

Nice and awesome collection including the one piece any WIS should own a Speedy.

Beautiful watch! How do you find it wear size-wise compared to your Speedy? Currently have a Sub C and Speedy and am looking at this model, however am worried it may wear too big

The watch wears very similar. Here is a wrist shot of them side by side. I was shocked to find that it wears smaller than my sub. It’s pretty thin and that does wonders for the comfort. Hope this helps.

I want the 15500 for sure - but with a blue dial (that’s going to take a bit with the boutique I hear). Plus, I really wanted this silver dial. It was discontinued so left me no choice.

Lastly, the 15500 seems to be very polarizing with it’s simplistic dial. I watched an embarrassing amount of videos studying the differences and prioritized this one. Don’t get me started on the silver dial variations.....

Good morning,

May I ask where you picked this up? I’ve been looking for a new 15400 silver/white dial without success.

Thanks!

Since it was discontinued last year I had to go through Chrono. Most are going for $22k plus at the moment.
