Boston AP Boutique comes through again! (ROO)

So just a week after I received the Rhodium 26315, the phone rings and the wonderful staff in Boston had managed to source me the new 26480TI. I love it. Just wears perfectly, and so light and bold. And I love the hybrid dial and pushers. Cannot say enough good things about working with the staff in Boston.

Love that Offshore! I was really close to picking one up in January while abroad, but didn't want to deal with transiting it back from Asia. Looks fantastic, congratulations.

Next time mail the box to yourself or relative from Asia and wear the watch on your wrist into the plane and into the country. Lots of people do it everyday.

Is this a 42mm with those pushers? I didn’t know they made any that weren’t 44mm that had those pushers.

Not illegal that in itself. Not declaring upon entry is however illegal.

That’s the only 42mm with the pushers in the style of 44mm ROO

Thanks all! This thing wears like a dream. Much thinner than a standard 42 ROO. I just love it.

Looks great on your wrist! Congrats on the new piece

Congratulations on your excellent pieces, Swaye. Wear them in good health.
You’re so right about the Boston boutique staff. I’ve also had the chance to deal with them, specifically the two SA brothers, William and Chris. Very well mannered and courteous. Actually, the first day I went there a couple of weeks ago, I noticed William wearing his 26480Ti ROO (like you just bought) and I asked him if I could try it on...and without hesitation he took off his watch for me to wear. It is indeed a beautiful, well-proportioned piece with just the right mix of seemingly everything ����. (I can’t post my wrist shot of that day since I don’t have sufficient posts yet).
Congrats once again and looking forward to more of your wrist shots in the future!

Congrats, an awesome piece, I walked in for the Ghost but left with this instead, love the pusher more than the normal offshore pusher.

William is who I deal with. He is phenomenal. Cannot say enough good things about him. Just a wonderful guy and a true watch fan. I hate to gush, but I will. I always appreciate when an SA of a luxury brand can talk in depth about OTHER watch brands. Let's me know they are true watch lovers. William and I have had long discussions on ALS and FPJ. He knows watches. Deeply. Truly a first class guy and true fan of watches. I love giving people like this my business.

Wow. That looks great on the leather! I assume that’s an AP band?
