AP Incoming
My first dip into AP, guess what it is? What was your first AP piece?

15500st or 15500OR is my guess.
Congratulations on your new timepiece! Need pictures! |

Here it is guys, an unworn 15500st with black dial. First time venturing away from Rolex, the AP is on a totally different level. That bracelet is easily the best in class. And the guilloche “grand tapisserie” dial is so mesmerising.
The watch was purchased from Geoff at the thewatchroom.com in UK, absolute professional and great to deal with. Anyways, here’s the pics! Still stickers and plastic And now with plastics off and sized! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Wow, it's gorgeous, black dial in a certain lighting can looks blue too.
I also have black dial on my 15500OR with rose gold bracelet (only comes with black dial) and I love it so much. Congrats again! |

I also did not like the staff working in that shop as I felt they had no interest in dealing with me, kind of elitist vibe. Definitely won't ever be dealing with them. |

Looks fab - the AP turned dials are really incredible.
Congratulations! And keep on sharing pics.

What made you pick the black color? Any other dial colors? Blue? Grey?

The crazy premium on the blue prices me out of that one (about €5-6k more). I’m not a fan of light colored dials so Silver was out. Between the grey and black, I prefer the black as it’s more classic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Two things: gorgeous, and congratulations!
I went straight for the 15500OR as my first AP bracelet piece but definitely still want to pick up an ST piece as well. Thinking Ruthenium is the dial.
