Best AP for me... Sofar....

Just got my hands on a like New 15300st!

A model I've been lusting for ever since I got my first AP back in 2012.

What a comfy and superb looking model this is. May I say... Perfection!

Been sporting my Aquanaut since I got it almost daily. Well it must now give way for some wrist time for the 15300. Blue dial would have been the ultimate combo, but I wonder if AP SC could change this for me at some point. Well the black isn't exactly bad either!

Well... Not sure I'm on a Roll. Some of my older watches have been traded towards renewing the collection. Hopefully adding something again next week.

Very nice!!! Yes Clearwater confirmed they will switch to blue dial at your expense. I think they keep old dial as well...

Yup. APSC will swap dials for you on an exchange basis + cash. IMO discontinuing the 15300 was a mistake although I imagine a profitable one as more people seem to have flocked to the 15202 as the only remaining 39mm model.

Congrats ! The APSC will change the dial to blue for a fee. I had it done for $500 & they kept my black dial. Although they won't change the date wheel to match the color of the dial.
