Incoming…

Hey everybody :) today I went to pick up my 5711 with my Kasparov on the wrist — which had no papers, and a very stretched bracelet. The dealer offered me a good price and gave the Kasparov away for this amazing 2008 15300 that just came back from service from AP two weeks ago. Looks like new. For real.

It’s definitely the most special day of my life so far in my watch collecting. I truly feel blessed to be able to own and enjoy this beauty and the 5711 as well.

The 15300 feels much better than the Kasparov on the wrist to be honest. And now that I have a dark blue dial with the 5711, this white dial sits perfect in my collection.

Wish you all a great weekend. I’ll definitely got to a great start for this weekend … sharing a few photos now :)

Incredible factory refinishing by AP! Really unbelievable they managed to keep all the sharp edges like that.

Exactly! It’s insane. It’s basically like a new watch… the bracelet is just not tight as it would be on a new one, but the rest is just incredibly done. This photo is a bit better (without the AI stuff done by the new iPhones…)

Thanks!!! I’m still over the moon. And the 5711 is also in such great condition. I kind of got lucky. Dealer was good. First time that I was dealing with them. So they left the bar really high.

Excellent! Before reading the post, I was staring at the picture trying to figure out which of the current production new models I was looking at...

Thanks so much squad! Really loving the watch. I used it all day at work today and it’s so comfortable.



And this weekend went on a first trip with it! So versatile.

Thanks SO much Bryan! I'm still in Honey moon mode after trimming the collection. Even wearing them all at different times in the same day
