I am ECSTATIC to say that I officially purchased my 1st BRAND NEW AP from an AD Boutique. I purchased it online since I got lucky with the transaction.

I have been seeking a pre-owned 15400 for a few months and every pre-owned piece was HIGH and new was about the same at $20k. I figured I'd wait it out. After checking almost daily on Watchrecon.com every month, same thing - slim pickings! I was originally going to get a pre-owned .03 blue dial, but I already have a 116613 Rolex with the blue sunburst dial, so I figured I'd change it up a bit.

After discovering there would be NO more Ruthenium models offered to any AD boutique this year I was about to pull the trigger on a grey market / overseas BNIB for $19k.

I had a strange inclination to give each boutique a call *just* to check. 4th call in, a nice rep told me that they had one, however it was a special request order for an existing client and it had just come in yesterday 10/25 and that the new owner was going to pick it up that same day, BUT she would give me a call *if* he did not purchase it.

2 hours later, she called me to let me know he did NOT purchase the watch, and went with a 37MM as the 41MM was a little too big for him!

My lucky day! Pulled out the good ole AMEX and added-to-cart! I can't wait to wear this new gem! I'll post up some pix when I have it in my possession!

1st of many -

Justin
Congrats! I own the same watch and is my favorite Royal Oak.
