Incoming 15450ST blue!!!

After a 2 year wait, I finally got the call today from the AP boutique in Dubai Mall. They let me keep the stickers and the protective shell on the case.

When they called me this morning, I was surprised to hear that the price increased with 17% compared to the last price I heard. I paid USD 19,600.

I have a 17cm wrist (6.7in) and no links had to be removed. Perfect size.

Still good value at that price point. We have similar wrists but I added one link. Some days it’s a tad loose, other days just right. Probably need to reduce my salt intake.

Fabulous catch......you really have some patience though ...here I am 3 months from registration and already jumpy about not getting the call...I have managed to find a grey dial from a Far Eastern AD though within a day of registering, so wondering if I should just go ahead and grab it rather than pipe dream of a blue dial or 15500 in grey or blue

Well played. Was this with any purchase history?

Thanks guys! I love how small the box and papers are compared to the PP monstrosities.

This is my very first AP but worth noting that the family business behind the AP boutique is also the AD for pretty much all the top brands (Rolex, PP, RM, etc.) in Dubai, and I did purchase a few watches across their network of stores. Perhaps that helped.
