And In it Came!!!
This is the longest I had to wait for a watch. I ordered in Feb. of this year. I had considered the AP 15305 for quite some time in 2015 and almost pulled the trigger but they were not too easy to find. I saw one for sale from a Grey Dealer who turned out to jerk me around on the price--- telling me he had a new old stock for a bit less than original MSRP. This was what was advertised on Chrono24. Then he wrote back and said he only had a slightly used one for about 5K over the original list price. However when I heard about the newer AP 15407, I decided to wait. I guess the demand was quite high but was able to put a deposit on the last of 5-- the Las Vegas AP Boutique had coming for the year. Well I got the call last weekend and took delivery on Friday. I was hoping to get some AP goodies but did not. I was told if I send in for free 1st service during the first 3 years-- I get a 2 year warranty extension. I have not taken it out of its plastic because I was sizing the bracelet and broke my screwdriver. Will try to get a new screwdriver tomorrow so i can finish the sizing and wear it. Can send more photos in the coming days. !! It is quite a beautiful piece.

Congrats! That is a very beautiful and special AP if you ask me. Would love to own an AP OW some day. I too have always lusted for the 15305. Glad you were able to avoid dealing with dodgy resellers on that and get this new beauty!

wrist shots
I made the adjustments to the Bracelet. The AP bracelets are so much easier to adjust than PP... I first had it too tight and now it is perfect. I dont like wiggling when wearing my watches. Thanks for all the comments. I will be doing some macro shots sometime in the near future.
