AP 15202 landed

Hi all

I’ve been a lurker for a long time and thought it long overdue to post, especially as I’ve eagerly tracked 15202 arrivals.

My journey with AP has been a long one and started with a desire for an Offshore. However as I’ve grown older my tastes have changed from larger pieces and also moved to time date only.

This opened up the 15400 and I’ve been fortunate to try this piece on various times. Unfortunately I’ve never been able to pull the trigger as it’s always felt too large on my wrist - so the search moved to the 15300. Again I was fortunate to try on a few excellent pre-loved pieces, but unfortunately something just didn’t feel right.

In my mind I had written off the 15202 as I believed I needed a second hand. Well......that was until I managed to try on a gold version. Having been totally wowed I put my name on the list for the steel version and I was lucky to pick up yesterday.

First thoughts reconfirm my love for the piece and I’m thankful that work as gone well so that I can indulge this crazy addiction.

Thanks for looking and a pic should be below.

Looks great and congrats!

You won't miss that second hand (someone once said - the Jumbo is for those who don't need to be bothered by seconds and have more important things to think about). Not sure about that but I really love the simplicity and purity of the 15202. It's one of my absolute favorites and wears incredibly well in almost any situation.

Thanks all for the replies

Yes - I got it from the London AP house. It was actually available in August, but I could only pick up last week. Big thanks should go to Dana at AP as she helped me secure before the price rise.
