AP goodies!

I just got back home from work and some goodies from AP were waiting for me!

Got my watch just over a month ago from the Beverly Hills boutique, and when I went to pick it up they had run out of travel cases. But they had promised to send me one when they got some more in stock! They also sent along a small catalog which I asked for, if they had any. I was expecting the catalog to be much larger, kinda like a coffee book size. It’s actually super small but it’s super nice anyways. The shiny blue on the cover is amazing and the photos inside are great! Anyways, here are some (quick and pretty terrible) photos:

Nice. Goodies I got at the time of my 15450ST blue purchase...AP polo shirt, AP hat and cloth bracelet with small AP RO pendant. I recently received the new catalogue (it’s heavy and huge!), Extraordinary Westime magazine and two Revolution magazines. They treated me well

They most certainly treated you well! What does the cloth bracelet look like???

Yeah that sounds more like the kind of catalog I was expecting to get, but I got this for free so I’m not complaining even tho it’s a tiny one hahaha

I have bad experience with this type of case. After one week of every day use now it has 2 leather creases of the front side.

Sure. I took two pics (flipped the pendant):




Don’t mind those other raggedy bracelets I made them through the years during our Caribbean and Mexico family vacations. The bracelet is adjustable via the knots on each side. It’s a nice piece.

BTW, the new catalogue is friggin substantial. It’s almost 250 pages and heavy!

Thanks for the pic! It’s not something I’d wear, but I like it! Super nice that it’s basically the same as a RO bezel.

That sounds like 250 pages of amazing photos!

You’re welcome. It’s very low key.

Amazing photos and lots of good reading.

I got one from the AP LV boutique. I had them send my 14800ST in for service. When I went into pick it up, my sales associate presented me with an identical case. She said they normally only give them to purchasers of new AP’s.

I love that travel case, have one myself and it’s my favourite to use. Very well protected and quick too!

I've got that same bracelet, but in blue/gold. I love it. I checked ebay and some people are selling them for up to $3000+. Not sure how long they'd take to sell, but I checked completed auctions and found a few that sold for over $1000 within the past couple of months.

That’s cool! Yes I’d heard of people getting them when they buy (like me, I just didn’t get it right away cause they had run out) but I hadn’t heard of AP giving them out for service. I do know Patek gives out some sort of case when it comes back from service…

Yeah! It seems solid enough to protect and easy to use cause of the super soft cushion. Even with my watch being smaller since I have tiny wrists, had no issue closing it completely over the cushion.

Dang Is yours precious metal? My black one is stainless steel. Quick check on eBay found one that sold for $235. Not that I’d sell mine, just curious.

i don't think it's actually gold, but will check it for markings. i actually got it as a gift from my uncle. if i could sell it for any decent amount, i would in order to use toward the purchase of an actual AP haha.
