Incoming .......... RO 15400

After a long wait, I finally pulled the trigger for a black dial 15400. Here to share some pics to let you join my happiness! It's an early X'mas gift for myself this year.

Mine is a late 'H' series but carries the newest features of Audemars Piguet found in the new 'I' series.

The new design green card paper box


The new green piano finished wooden box


The new black leather interior


The new version clasp without 'AP' logo


The wrist shot - the beauty of "Grande Tapisserie" pattern in black. Can't explain by simple words until you see it real yourself.


The beautiful 3120 in-house movement with the gold rotor with the Audemars Piguet family logo. I bought this watch mainly for the display caseback.


The bracelet - the beauty of the brushed finish SS and shines like a gem. The polish, the link with chamfered edge are very 'AP'.


My apologies for the poor quality pics. Thanks for watching and hope you also like it!

Congrats. I have an itch for this exact watch. I was torn between black and white, then at a recent AD visit the saleswoman saw how torn I was between the colors and said put them both on and go look in the mirror! Truly a kind gesture to a young man in a busy mall black friday weekend. Black is a winner for me. The pics look great btw.

I love 15400 but the only thing that scares me from not getting the AP is the service cost which i heard is very expensive. Any idea what the service on this bad boy run?

Cost=zero$ the first three years. There service is fantastic, and not out of line compared to others. Also, much faster turn times than many.

Thanks all for your compliments. Once on the AP journey, it's a non-return route.
