How long did it take for you to get the nod from the boutique since you requested it!
26420 in 3-4 months, 26240 6 months later but only 4-6 weeks after asking to look at RO’s in general, and then the 15510 was 5 months after that.

Wow Pat you have a 26240 too? And you said you got it 4-6 weeks after putting in a request? Sounds like you basically own my grail collection!

Please share a photo of the ROC!

I’ve been very fortunate so far. After the ROO I emailed my Sa and said I’d be in the area and wanted to stop by and try on some RO’s but that I was concerned because I was used to the DSSD and then the ROO. She said she had some available to try on. A few weeks later I flew to Tokyo for a long weekend with my wife and my SA surprised me with the 50th anniversary ROC saying it was mine if I wanted it. This was Sept 2022 so because of the exchange rate being what it was (in Japan), I walked out with it for “only” $29K..
AP has been good to me so far.

Looks great. Not a huge fan of nato straps but that one matches well. Nice setup!

Blue 15510 + silver 26240 is basically one of my top wished for combinations. Hats off and so jealous!

Not mine, but tried this one on recently when I visited WatchBox in Hong Kong. Absolutely awesome. Looks so white in person. Some serious wrist presence with this one.
