A Surprise Ceramic Incoming

[James84]

Amazing feel good story. Many congrats on a beautiful watch.

[jts278]

It’s such a stunner! Congratulations! I’m sure you’ll continue to find new details and enjoy this piece as much as I do!

[Pfang56]

A real stealth grail in the best material!

It may be a watch for all manners - boardroom, gym room, swimming, and even on a lazy day!!

Congrats again
Peter

Save some wins for the rest of us!

Mike - congrats on the stunner piece and they really go above and beyond to make it a memorable experience for you and your wife

[DonLee]

it's also a nice thing that you can afford to just purchase something at a moments' notice. for me. I purposely have my credit card limit at like $10k.

I was sorta thinking about doing the opposite. Once the ap house in Miami opens, drag her down there to pick up my new watch, except it would be something cool for her instead of me.
We’ll see..
Won’t be as epic as this piece!!

Thanks! She has been an absolute jewel. It seems her and the BT Director really fought hard for this allocation. She said the competition is fierce for Openworked pieces. I'm just grateful that they found a way to get me approved over the other more qualified clients.

Thanks! This has been my only allocation this year. lol. So far, me 1 and wifey 1 is the score this year. I have a feeling her ceramic will come in this year, thus beating me on the allocation front for 2023. Our SA and BT has been just wonderful to us.

lol. I wish it was like that. I mentally set aside a budget every year for possible allocations. This was definitely in the budget. I too set limits on my credit cards. More for my wife than me. The old American Express slogan, never leave home without it came into play here.

my god it's so nice! honestly this is my favorite AP in the entire lineup.

[seadubs]

congrats!! I recently had a similar surprise from my boutique but it wasnt a ceramic ! RM really got me though..

Its awesome seeing members of this forum get these types of pieces, I feel like we are the last of a dying breed soon to be extinct with everyone else on instagram...

Our kind will always be here. we were here before the social media watch boom, and will remain after (if it ever gets back to those days).

[codecow]

That is a heavyweight champion of a piece. I love it.

[grahammackay86]

Congrats Mike.

What an amazing surprise, nicely done by AP. Enjoy the watch, is a total grail piece for sure!

[AperolSpritz]

Congrats!!!
It's an amazing watch! The only issue with it is that once you have it you feel "fulfilled"...
And special shoutout to your wife, the surprise and her organizing it for you is really great.
I wish my wife would do the same ;-)
You're a lucky man!!!!

Thanks. I think fullfilled is the perfect word to describe it, but....... Funny how our minds work. I'm starting to chart out the references I have on request at different brands and planning out what the next 12 months might look like.. Just a sick disease.

My wife has been great about supporting my bad habits. I do make sure to keep her pipeline full with stuff she likes though. It's like paying hush money.

[brucethemanlee]

Congrats looks awesome!

[1William]

Congratulations.

[Steele]

Absolutely amazing

[eonflux]

Congrats!!!
Stunning watch

[SRG89]

Congratulations sir!
One of the most beautiful references in the catalogue imo - you'll have a tough time thinking about what's next! Wear in the best of health

[Michael1968]

Congrats

[WatchingAustin]

Amazing story, it sounds like you have some fun people in your life. Enjoy the watch and memories.

[XFi1382]

What a story, what a watch... Congrats! Well deserved!
