1st Post. 1st AP

Hi TRF,
I've been dreaming about the day I can share with you my first AP! Been lurking around this site for over a year and finally created an account so I could reach out to this seller to buy his watch.

K3vin, thank you for a pleasant transaction. You were patient, honest, and an all around cool guy. Glad to have met up with you because it seems like we have tons in common.

The watch: NIB AP Royal 15450ST with the silver dial.

The 15400ST silver dial was the first AP I've tried on in 2013. It was gorgeous but a bit big for my wrist. It wasn't until K3vin posted the 15450ST for sale that I knew there was a smaller version. After reading every single thread on TRF about the 15450, it became more apparent that this is the watch for me and I needed to check it out.

Well here it is. Images are attached. Immediately I thought this was a gorgeous watch but it wasn't until I finally removed all the little stickers - and then - holy MF shit! It got even sexier!!! The finish is impeccable and I can't stop flexing on IG!!

Well, I basically just wanted to say thank you to this awesome forum and thank you to K3vin. I can't even focus if this watch is in view. Thanks!

Congrats and welcome to the club! I picked up a bnib15450st last week. Love the fit of the 37mm size - it feels almost identical to the 39mm Explorer 1.

One of my top targets. Great to see love for the 15450, it often seems to be in the shadow of the 15400, even though it has arguably better proportions, particularly the case diameter to movement size ratio. Enjoy your new AP!
