I can't take my new AP15300 out of its cocoon >>>>

Hello all.
Just got this brand new white 15300 Friday but I can't seem to take it out of the factory sealed bag. Maybe I have too many watches. Or maybe non of my new watches ever came in a sealed bag.

Anyway, it was time to rotate my everyday watch so Saturday I went to the bank and brought the AP there and put it in my lbox with the rest of the boys and maybe in a week or two I will rip open the bag. Unless you guys and girls can talk me into opening it up sooner!

Well I left with my Gilt 1675 with disstressed dial, but never poleshed case

Congrats. I just picked up the exact same watch from David. Trust me it's much better on the wrist than in the bag :).

That is a hard watch to find sealed. But what I don't understand is why buy it, if you won't we're it? The 15300 is an amazing watch to wear. Get out the cutters and start enjoying it! Watches belong on a wrist not a box. My .02.

I know exactly what you mean! I too have the most difficult time peeling plastics. However, a force of will is required. What an absolute beauty!!
