Hello,

I would like to share my Royal Oak. I have been wanting an AP for 15 years, and I was finally able to pick one up. I am blown away, and I am already planning a few years out to add another AP!

Looks as good with the GTR as it does with the Aston - great taste in watches and cars my friend!!

Congratulations very nice watch!

sea-dweller · 25 April 2016, 12:50 AM

Looks great!

Luv2XcelR8 · 25 April 2016, 01:37 AM

Thank you everybody. I will continue to post photos in this thread. I am fortunate to be surrounded my amazing cars.

I did have one question...how come some 15400's have my style clasps with four screws in a square pattern, and some have the screws in a straight line and on the physical button? I noticed my serial number starts with I and some start with H. I believe AP changes the letter every 5 years.

Is this why some if them vary in style of clasp?

Congrats, looks great!

Luv2XcelR8 · 25 April 2016, 02:10 AM

Thank you everybody!! Does anybody have a clue on what I posted in reference to the variation in clasps styles?

I always find myself staring at the craftsmanship on this piece. Stunning!

You're correct — with the advent of the I serials, AP changed the clasp, and logo on dial.

Thank you. I was looking at photos online and noticed mine was different so I started to panic a little!

Is the I serial number the latest?

I believe I it's the latest. Here's my I series.

Luv2XcelR8 · 25 April 2016, 06:38 AM

See, the screws on your clasps are different. I don't have them on the pushers.

This is why I am concerned. Same I series...but the screws on our clasps are different.

O_0 Should I be worried?

H-serial and early I-Serial watches had the old screw pusher design.

AP replaced the old design with the newer solid pushers because the screws were always coming loose.

If you ever lose a screw, AP will actually upgrade the entire clasp assembly for you.

Luv2XcelR8 · 25 April 2016, 07:53 AM

Great. Thank you for the insight!!

This...I have an I series that I got just this past March. Got it from my AD, fresh from AP. I have heard about the "issues" with the older design. Here's a pic of my I series, 2016 15400.

Awesome. I guess I was fortunate to purchase a new one, since I was unaware of the clasp issues.

How are you enjoying your new piece? I feel blessed everyday. I cannot stop wearing it!

I too feel fortunate to be an owner of such an awesome piece. Honestly, with my lifestyle/work, it's a perfect everyday watch...could easily wear it in any occasion. Such a joy to look at on the wrist and with all the angles, edges, the amazing dial, the unbelievable bracelet....it's a watch that has such depth and versatility. Congrats on your pick up and enjoy it! Nothing wrong with not being able to take it off.

What's the best way everybody is cleaning their bracelets? I am currently using warm water and soap, massaging it around the piece and then using a hair dryer to dry everything off.

I am still finding that there are smudges etc. Is there a more efficient way or cleaner available?

As you’re doing, only wipe gently with a suede microfiber cloth or satin type, like that used on opthalmic lenses – I prefer the former.
