First AP experience - Boutique

This is somehow a lucky try, and I’m so happy to be in the family soon.

Called the local boutique on 10/10/2020

Check on the availability - 37mm RO , 41mm RO

Nothing in the inventory. Being told that to I have to be there to register of interest to go into waitlist .

Went to the boutique same day, tried few size in precious metal , decided to put name for 37mm base model silver dial - 15450

When home and been keeping in touch with my SA, he’s helpful and patiently answer all my questions about the ref.

20/ 10/2020 - got a call telling me there might be a chance 26315st silver dial might be coming , I’ve previously also inform that I will be open to the 38mm chrono as well. ( feeling excited )

22/10/2020 - SA call telling me good news that I will be getting a 26315st silver dial , so happy for that.

23/10/2020 - went to put my deposit and celebrate with champagne .
Tried few more ref. Including Code1159 .

Went home be a happy man waiting for my incoming

Can’t wait to share my wrist shot here.

Very cool.

Keep in touch with your SA/AD after you collect it and keep that relationship alive.

Well done.

Thank you , being informed the watch usually come in 1-2 months , I'm not sure, just enjoy the wait and I'm overwhelmed with the quick allocation for me.

Ordered extra 1 link as well, as I have a 7inch wrist. it's gonna be too tight in hot weather like my country all year long.

Might be worth asking AP KL or SG if with the 15450, it is an option to do a dial swap.

That way, you're not limited to just any one dial colour.

Hi emery .
But I’m now deposited for the 26315st silver dial.

Not gonna get 15450 first as it’s serve a very close in term of size 37mm and 38mm

Kind of close

You're very lucky to get 26315st silver dial with blue sub-dial, it's such a gorgeous timepiece.

Congratulations!

This is my first thought when visiting them as well, as they mention to me that I have to wait for next year allocation on 15450 / 26315 , but somehow when they have enough confident towards you, it might change . I’m not getting anything from Rolex yet at retail - sad

Maybe, because as mention to me, there’s 2-3 piece of allocation that came along with mine. 15450 being to that we just need to wait for say like 6 months or so .


Thank you all .

Congratulation on your new collection .

Yes it’s the level 33 . Who’s the SA that you are dealing with?

I’ve tried on this, I need a less smaller size AP, so I choose the 38mm .

You have a nice one there .
Congratulations again
