Incoming! 15500ST Grey

Okay, so this is my story -
I never went to an AP boutique.
I never saw a Royal Oak in person.
I just recently turned 25. It won't break the bank for me but it will restrict me from buying another piece for a long time - which I am totally fine with.
My collection includes an Omega Speedmaster Sapphire, Rolex Datejust, G-Shock all steel, Citizen Skyhawk Titanium and... an apple watch for the gym.
But after seeing the royal oak and reading/ researching about the brand for 8-10 months, I wanted one soooo bad.
I called everywhere for a 15400 and I couldn't get one at retail. Then the 15500ST released and I knew I had to act early. I chose the Grey based upon recommendations from this forum and a couple of reviews online.
They just told me that they shipped the watch - scheduled for delivery tomorrow 4/18/2019!

The whole point is, I never wanted to go to a boutique - I never wanted to try it on. I know it won't be too big for sure as I have a flat 7'' wrist. The first time I see a royal oak - it should be mine. I just want to know how that experience feels. I won't be trying it on until May 3rd when I get to size it in NYC. I'll post pictures of the watch when I receive it and will let you know how the dial looks and feels.

Special Thanks to AP Miami for being able to deliver the watch to a customer in Michigan so quickly without ever meeting me in person and with no prior relationship. They told me it is one of the first pieces they received- to give it to a customer like me when I am sure they have top-notch clientele waiting for the watch is awesome - They trusted me as I told them how badly I want one - I even told them ill wait a year if they want me to (Rolex AD's please take notes).
