Great choice. Hugh Congrats. Wear good shoes, the AP slope is a very slippery one 😉🍻
My 1st one was the Volcano after I saw Lebron wear it when he made his big announcement about taking his talents to South Beach. 😭

Im so jealous. I want a 15400 so bad I just cant pull the trigger because i want a gold watch as well. Do its hard for me to decide so i'm still in watch buying limbo.

Did you cry in happiness when you first saw it. Like it was a new born child? May i ask why did you choice that dial color. Its hard for me to decide which dial i like more.

Lastly, Did you buy it new or used? And was it from someone on this forum? As i am looking for a reliable person to go to.

Thank you. Yes I almost cried haha. Was waiting for the delivery man by the door all day.

Purchased used from another user not on this forum but overall a smooth transaction. I picked blue because I have so many shifts and black dial watches already. Plus the AP blue is gorgeous Eventually I wanna save and get the RG 15400 as well. Good luck !

Nice choice, buddy

As you said you purchased it used in another place, are you sure it's genuine?

Sorry if I ask, but looking at the screws on the bezel, date font, hands and logo on the dial, it looks honestly fake to me.

Sorry again

Hmmmm, I just compared pics and there is something off, hopefully just the lighting, or camera.

No I didn't, but like i mentioned above, I've done lots of business with the Seller so im pretty shocked at the moment. Nonetheless this will be resolved and refunded and I will purchase another from a trusted dealer on here... Thanks for all the help guys, Glad we caught it early

Gentlemen , Sorry for the late response. The whole issue has been resolved and refund has been issued. The seller is a reputable guy who like me, has limited AP knowledge and was burned on this piece. Like they say if its too good to be true it probably is... For those of you questioning my credibility look back on previous posts and youll see I have a good reputation on here and have always bought/sold genuine. Im a watch collector with a true respect and passion for this hobby of ours.

I look forward to updating you all on my 1st Real AP in the coming days.. Still debating on rubberclad chrono or Classic Diver
