Yeah I really liked the blue but didn't think I'd luck into one randomly, made it seem meant to be and it is way more legible than I was lead to worry about from seeing pictures. Sure under direct bright light at some angles it is hard to read, but indoors or most situations it is super legible. Was gunning for a white, but the blue is awesome and changes from blue to light grey and lots of shade in between!

For a year I figured if I ever got an AP it would be a Safari or Diver. But being able to see that movement is half the fun and the bracelet blew my mind when I started to try the standard royal oaks on.

Good news all, I picked up up from the dealer again today after it was running 17s per MINUTE fast and it turned out to be a magnetization issue that they fixed and then tested all day and it is working perfect. Phew!

Thanks for all the well wishing, it is such a next level piece (and I still have immense love for my Rolexes) but I just feel so wonderful being able to wear and admire it!

The serial is an F91,xxx, does that mean it is like late 2000s? I read F started around 2003/4, and 20k are added each year which by my math puts it at 2008?

Congrats! That's been my daily driver since I picked it up almost 2 years ago. Can't go wrong w/ the 15300, especially in blue.

Blue 15300 is 100% pure

I'm glad it works properly now, too.

Looks great on your wrist. I hope to pick up a blue dialed RO at some point as well - enjoy it and as mentioned be ready for the addiction - I'm on #3 in my first yr of AP ownership and already shopping for the next.

Joined this crazy club today!

Update: Since being demagnetized it is keeping razor sharp time, in the last two weeks it is only a handful of seconds off...and I can't take it off. So comfortable, so good looking, easy to read, date feature is great.
