Incoming!!!! Double balance wheel

Don’t post much but read everyone’s posts daily and love the forum. Been dreaming of this watch for two years and finally received it. Just wanted to say how informative this forum is and how knowledgeable all the watch lovers are here. Special thanks to Jerome at the bal harbor Florida ap boutique who got the watch for me. He’s a great guy to work with and I’ll be a loyal customer for years to come.

Do you have any guidance on how you were able to access this piece? Perhaps you have purchased many watches from this boutique in the past?

This is my dream watch. Congratulations!

Congrats, a long wait but definitely worth it with your purchase history. Very hard to get (harder than a 15202,nautilus, ect) without spending minimum $75-100k (closer to pass 6 figures depending on the boutique). The only watch i like from the AP line until they produce the platinum limited variant of this as all offshores / divers are too large for my wrists/liking.

Yes i bought the conversion kit deployant from a fellow TRF member and bought separately a blue strap straight from the service centre alongside a new factory bezel which i just received that i will place baguette diamonds in and switch out (same design as those platinum tourbillion 32 baguette cut set bezels that they wouldn’t sell. I already got confirmation that the service centre will replace the bezel / switch it for me even though they are aftermarket diamonds as i want the watch to keep its water / pressure rating and dont want any jeweler touching it.
