Wearable Art...First AP
I just received this piece yesterday and am blown away. It was always on my radar but had never seen the SS Version in person and always ended up buying Rolex and Patek. When they discontinued the 15305 and switched to the 41mm Double Balance Wheel, I was a bit disappointed and shifted my efforts towards acquiring the newer model but quickly realized I had a snowball's chance in hell of getting one anytime soon. LOL! My wrist is 6.6" and the 39mm RO is definitely the better fit for Me so in the end it all worked out how it was supposed to. Thanks to everyone for the enabling. IMO, It is definitely a strange time in watch collecting. 2-3 years ago Nautili, Aquanuats, Royal Oaks, and SS Subs were all attainable and often times accompanied with a small discount. Now these pieces are available in limited supply and many seeking crazy premiums. It seems as though everyone is looking for the same 10-15 models and the rest of the stuff in the watch industry they just cant give away. I was very lucky to come across one of these in top condition as they are becoming harder and harder to find. Happy Hunting Friends!

Haven’t seen many pics of your 15305 of late, have you got any front and rear pics of how much light the movement lets through? |
