Unexpected Purchase

After being ghosted by AP for nearly 3 years i had lost all hope in acquiring another piece via a boutique and i was quite content collecting other brands for the time being.

So when i received an email stating that my old SA was no longer with the company i was interested to hear what sales approach this new SA would take.

She was very polite via email which most SA's would be and asked if i was still interested in acquiring the watch on my wish list. In my following email i immediately tried to push my luck and responded "yes, i am still interested in a 15202"

She quickly shot that down but did acknowledge that i am on record for a 15500 with a blue dial which is now the 15510.

After a few hours of thought i determined that a green dial would much better suit my collection and responded with such.

Within 24 hours i received the call and here we are....

Congrats! How does the green look in person? Looks quite difficult to capture in photos.
Enjoy in good health!

Having seem a few green dials at AP House, I’ve personally never seen a picture that does it justice. It looks lovely in photos, but wow it’s stunning in the flesh

It is a very dark khaki green. Tried my best to take pictures with complimenting colours to bring out its beauty

Congrats! The green dial is excellent. Seems like AP is surprising quite a few people in the last weeks.

The New York Boutique. This would be my second purchase. The first being a SS Perpetual Calendar...

Congrats! Are you saying you did not hear a peep from AP for 3 years and out of nowhere they sold you a green 15510 via email without visiting the boutique over and over again to start a "relationship"? Sounds like you hit the jackpot my friend
