Congrats OP. It's a beauty.
Since it is an investment (not debatable it is worth more than you paid) I wouldn't discourage using 5% borrowed money to pay it down until you sell another piece.

Congrats! With the additional information that you're leaving Japan anyways, makes sense. I'd consider just waiting till the 2 year mark if you can hold out. Sell the YM in the meantime and keep the option open. You never know whether you'll end up in Japan again!

Congrats Pat! Looks amazing on you. Stunning piece. Getting “the call” on that piece is literally like winning the lottery. I’m glad you didn’t turn it down, even if it was a stretch at the moment. (With that on your wrist, and with an ROC & ROO in rotation, I predict your Roleys will soon start gathering dust!)

Thank you! It’s been a journey since I bought my DSSD from you 4 years ago. The one watch I really don’t know if I can part with because it’s just incredible - ta bit too heavy, but incredible! |

I think that's probably part of the reason she got allocations for you. I know some on this forum may not care, but the SA will look bad if a piece she sold gets sold soon after buying. I do think DSSD + YM is probably a better solution if you HAVE to, and then rebuying the DSSD later when you sell the ROO eventually.

I’ve been wearing the 15510 non stop since I bought it and I love it!
Prior to picking it up I wore the ROC and it quickly became my favorite watch. The dial just attracts the light in such an incredible way but much to my surprise, the blue dial has come out on top - at least for now. The blue is striking in that it’s dark and can easily look black from afar but when the light hits it the dark blue really shines. The dial is also less busy than the ROC, which I guess I appreciate more than I thought I would. Honestly it’s an amazing watch that doesn’t look as good in a boutique as it does outside because of the often suboptimal interior lights; for those of you on the fence - go see your AD! |

Looks great on the wrist, brother. Decisions like that one aren’t often easy, but ultimately you made the correct choice. Your current AP trio is a mean combo and worth more than you paid (if you were forced make a move down the road).
Congrats on the new addition - well played. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

But you still have the ROO as well, correct? You have a trifecta with that included.

Copy that. But the ROO is so different, and wears differently than either of these two. Regardless, your point is well taken.

Glad I could help twist your arm! It truly is a mesmerizing dial! It’s like having 6 different watches in one under different lighting conditions — from charcoal to deep blue — sometimes even teal.

That's a gorgeous blue. I'm glad they didn't blow it with a "matching" ceramic bezel.

You are only getting this call because you have been buying other watches. Keep it up and one day you can get an openworks or a ceramic. Say no and you won't be called again. AP wants wealthy clients that can buy multiple watches a year. Either that's you or it's not. |
