Crazy afternoon, accidental purchase!

I was having lunch near my trusted AD. I shouldn't walk in.. With nothing intended in mind, I ended up walking out with a AP.. I just could not resist the lure of it, the 15305ST.OO.1220ST.01
All my APs were ROOs, at the 1st look, the watch looks small to my liking, I didn't really think I was hooked on it.. But, as I study the watch more thoroughly, I was getting poisoned.. The outcome is predictable.. I ended up with my 1st RO jumbo.. An expensive lunch.. I hope it is not a wrong choice..

Congatulations on your purchase.

Nope. The only RO considered a Jumbo is the ref. 5402 that then became ref. 15202.

Congrats on your skeleton.
