I didn’t get the chance to try a 15500 also and you had no chance trying anything on due to every non essential stores shut in the UK cause of the pandemic. So I had to do a load of research on the net before making my purchase. Thanks, enjoy your awesome time piece and have a lovely weekend

I would recommend visiting at least once to establish a relationship with an SA. If you can get an allocation for a watch you love then I wouldn’t worry about inspecting it. My watch was shipped to me overnight, factory fresh, just a day after it arrived from Le Brassus!

Two more questions. Did it come sized, and what do you do if you need the size tweaked? Any swag (loupe, travel pouch,etc). Thanks for the info!

They had me take measurements of my wrist and text them to my SA for sizing. For my wrist size they took out two links before sending it to me and it fits great. There’s no minor size tweaking or adjustment on Royal Oak the way there is with Rolex glidelock so if you need to add or remove a link you’d have to go to a boutique / do it yourself. No swag was included in the box but I wasn’t worried about that. Just being allocated a blue RO was the gift! Also just so you know if you are a first time customer purchasing over the phone it’s AP’s policy to only allow payment in the form of a cash bank wire. If you have prior history with their boutique then you may use a card or whatever you want. You may also use a card in person they just don’t allow it over the phone. The issue becomes that if you live far from the boutique and they give you just a few days that the watch can be held, then wire becomes your only option. Not saying that’s an issue for you at all just something to consider. Good luck and let us know if you purchase something!

Congratulations! The watch look gorgeous on your wrist! The blue dial looks stunning. I also got a small flat wrist-50mm wrist span! Place a deposit in January, looking forward getting it when the shop starts to open!

Congratulations. Mine says hi. I had a 15400 but felt it was too big for my 6.5” wrist

Thanks, I absolutely love it. Same here, I didn’t get the chance to try on a 15500 and with every non essential stores shut in the UK due to the pandemic you had no chance of trying it on. The best option was to do a lot of research on the net. Enjoy your awesome time piece and have a great weekend

Congrats on the acquisition! Just got mine as well.

I’ve heard the accuracy with the 3120s can be anywhere from -/+ 1-2 or 10-12 sec. Hows it been for you?

[brandrea]

Well done Sean

It’s beautiful, and looks perfect on your wrist. You’ve got a great duo there

[macrowatch]

Does it also fit the smaller wrist I see in the background of the first photo? =)

I’m sure someday it will as I plan on giving it to him when he gets older. Would you say the same thing about my submariner and most Rolex watches? As I said in my original post they fit almost the same. Not everyone has a big wrist.

Looks great on you! Wear it in good health
