Finally got one
To those that followed the old thread:


The story came to a happy ending...


After effectively being told I couldn't have my long awaited 15202st by my AD,  with  whom I was next on list to be recipient...  (due to AP pulling supply and going boutique only with the model)

My heart and hopes both sank....

A few months later however...AP UK called me....


The new RRP was in force (post brexit UK adjusted 15% price increase, bringing us inline with Europe etc).   Which stung a little, as I had originally fixed a price with a down payment, rather than paid a deposit on Landing price...

However, the reality is, that's the price now! 

And so i got one...

Am I now happy?  

YES....

Very...


I REALLY do think its perfect in so many ways.... I love it.


I got some goodies too: A very handsome royal oak tapisserie style pen and travel case

They didn't mate

AD didn't supply... AP did

Can't get them from AD any more as are boutique only pieces from here onwards. So theres only 18 places (i think) world wide that will sell, if they can first source them....

Made several inquiries and left details all over the place.

Hey!

Where is the seconds hand?



I had to get the blue 15300 because I wanted the 39mm - AND the ticking of seconds.

Looks great on both of you.

Great shot. Do you mind me asking what your wrist size is?

This isn't true. My AD got 2 15202s just the other week that went to the 2 people ahead of me.

The 15202 is NOT boutique only. At least not in the US.
