Guys, I'm over the moon right now! The Royal Oak has been a near obsession of mine for over a decade now (I'm 35). With all the "incoming" threads around here it seems like some of you buy APs like I buy chewing gum

but for me this is a huge deal. It marks a significant year in my life when I was promoted to VP and my company was acquired.

I went back and forth on whether to get a new 15400 or 15450 or to get a pre-owned 15300. In the end, the 15300 had the winning combo of a) perfect dimensions for my wrist, and b) proportions that are true to the original RO Jumbo. A forum member over on WUS had a truly mint black-dial 15300 w/ box and papers for sale and I ended up buying it a few days ago.

Besides a couple hard-to-see hairlines on the bracelet near the clasp, this thing is hard to tell from new. It's a high number H-series and the warranty book is stamped May 2013, making it one of the last 15300s ever made. So, so excited to have found this watch!

My only "problem" is that I sold both my Sub and Speedie to get the AP, so I don't have anything to wear to the beach

But that's a good problem to have, right?

I'm on a one-watch-per-brand kind of guy, so this will be my only AP. Here's the obligatory wrist shot:
