Yes sir. 3 watches on my wife's profile. Having a spouse profile really helps with the allocations IMO.

Seems like only a matter of time until those pieces can be delivered to you. You’ve got the boutique relationship that everyone wishes they had. Hope to see your (and your wife’s) next incomings soon!

Mega piece and what a great way to take delivery of it. It’s stories like this that confirm AP provides one of the best customer experiences once you’re in deep with them

I'm in no hurry for the next piece at this point. This was a big highlight for me in my collecting journey. I want to enjoy it for now and work on my wife's ceramic piece for now. I'll get back to anticipation mode in the new year. Thanks for the well wishes!

Thanks Vogel! Like you stated with your 15407 incoming, the openworked is pretty special. You did beat me to it though. lol.

Funny story on the cake. My SA had it for us early last year as we were picking up an allocation. My wife fell in love with the cake. The bakery is only Vegas and my SA always picks them up for us when we go in for a pickup. This time, she flew it out with her from Vegas. She is just amazing..

Totally agree. The AP experience has been head and shoulders above all others.

Thanks guys! Having spent a day with the watch, I'm just blown away by it. Here's a couple of pics under sunlight. I can stare into this dial all day!

How cool!!!
I was sorta thinking about doing the opposite. Once the ap house in Miami opens, drag her down there to pick up my new watch, except it would be something cool for her instead of me.
We’ll see..
Won’t be as epic as this piece!!
