Big congrats

But I'm quite amazed with the story as I had a bad experience at AP House in Mayfair when they asked & I told them I bought 2 watches from my HK AD. Literally just sat there playing on their phone after taking the watches out for me to browse

So whilst by some accounts it has taken some 4 years to get here, in the end it all happened very fast! I am over the moon with my new purchase and plan to make an incoming post with proper photos.

Nice

15510OR Black dial?

I would tell you there is an option to ask for the strap model and buy the bracelet separately from AP (albeit not cheap). I think the bracelet was around 34k USD.

I had to go that route as the bracelet versions were all sold/allocated for 2023.
I assume there is no "allocation" for the bracelet and the strap version is easier to get allocated?

Going that direction looks to cost an extra $12K....

Yeah but technically if you compare apples to apples and buy the bracelet and then get the leather/rubber straps + deployant it’s about 6k more (I think that’s the ballpark).

According to AP HK, they need approval for the bracelet if you buy the 15510 OR on a leather strap... Couple of years ago they didn't make an issue out of it buy ordering the bracelet separately.

I just got the call for the 15510 OR... Still thinking, again.

But I don't like it on leather and would never wear it that way
