The GREATEST Luck Ever!

I’m on vacation in Vegas right now and decided to stop in the AP Boutique. I’ve been waiting for the stores to get their 2019 allocations for the RO15450 silver face.

I started chatting to the sales person about the allocations and how i stopped in the NYC boutique last month. Unfortunately they were not taking 2019 allocations yet because they haven’t heard back from AP.

I decided to try on some watches similar to what I wanted. Eventually she asked me which exact model I wanted. I made it very clear I was ready to purchase. She heads to the back and pulls out an unallocated piece. Exactly what I wanted.

How lucky am I? I also some money back on the shipping/insurance, a very nice hat, and a hard travel case.

I will be posting pictures of everything once I get it in my hands.

P.s. will be posting
