Incoming ROC 26240 (Blue)

It's exciting/butterfly in your stomach to receive the text from your SA confirming I have been allocated with RO. I am very grateful (2 allocations including 50th anniversary) last yr. First one for 2023!! As expected, it looks beautiful!! I also noticed box color has changed from the previous year (lighter green) and no manual (not that I ever read it).

This hobby is contagious. I'm already browsing for next....

Beautiful, congrats! The best 26240 dial color IMO.

So no more calibre booklets or warranty booklets? What does the warranty card come in?

I recently purchased a RO from the boutique. It comes with a new box, AP no longer issue booklet/manual.

It only comes with the warranty card, the new box and the watch of course. :)

You certainly have good pair of eyes!! When they mail this to me, they wrapped in green tissue paper and they put this AP logo plastic to hold paper together.
