Incoming 15500st

Got the text from my SA at the boutique last Wednesday letting me know my 15500 had arrived. Waited about a year and a half. Had been offered other pieces along the way, but politely turned them down.

Booked a flight and went to pick it up Sunday.

Super excited to finally have it. Had to get the 1.5 link to get the fit just right. The wrist presence is great and the brushed finish is as always fantastic. I think AP does produce the best bracelet in the business.

Updated the wish list while at the boutique and look forward to another text soon..

Wow congrats! Been seeing way more posts lately with people getting 15500ST. Maybe they are clearing away some last pieces before introducing the 16500ST.

Yes. The boutique was a third party owned boutique before and just changed ownership to AP. Even though I was a customer of the previous boutique and my SA was the same, they wanted me to come out and redo a profile with AP, build out a wishlist, and meet the new boutique management. The first one under the new ownership required an in person purchase. I will not have to do it going forward.

Add another one to the incoming 15500 list. The shocking part for me was....its blue. Thought there was a typo when I got the text.
