Thoughts, not sure there is a right or wrong answer

I recently sold my AP15400 because it was just too big, so I sold it and my Bark DD as I got a great deal on Platinum Day Date which I love, effectively a flat swap out.

I knew one day I would come back to an AP RO, but unlike the trend I want to go back to the origins of RO i.e. 36mm with its thin movement, which I think looks great as a dressy sports watch just as my DD is.

I just so happen to be sitting in a hotel room in Boston and made the mistake of looking at the site where I have bought a watch in the past here in Boston (yes I live in Sydney). Just figured since I was in town...........

I think this watch looks amazing, obviously very rare, so very hard to genuinely price, it looks like it has never been worn the case is immaculate, I think this would have been an original leather band model not sure if this is the original band, may go and look tomorrow (TRYING VERY HARD TO RESIST, WIFE ENABLING ME FROM SYDNEY). Help me TRF........ I am nowhere near the expert on AP that many of you are........ I just like pretty watches!!!!

It reminds me so much of the new Gold Yachtmaster but is clearly a lot older and yep it is an AP. It may always be a little harder to sell on particularly living in OZ, compared to my Sub/Aquanaut etc but it is a unique piece.

Thoughts, I know you are enablers, and I know a lot of you will trot out 15202 or nothing else... I really don't want to buy it, but it is not the type of watch you would see every day. I did a bit of reading on Tantalum never realised it was so rare (have always like the FPJ Tantalum blue), not to mention most of the Tantalum has been mined in my home country over the years. I have no concerns with European Watch by the way, so not asking to validate the store. Appreciate Gold highlight TT AP's of the vintage don't always get good coin but Tantalum/Rose Gold is different again.
