Icon7 Incoming Tomorrow

It's been a while since I've owned an AP. Last one I had was back in 2015 - a 15300 that I always regretted selling. For anyone who follows Million Dollar Listing NYC - I sold it to Steve - it was his first 'nice' watch and judging by his instagram he definitely has gotten bitten by the bug.

To me a Royal Oak is a staple piece needed in every collection in one form or another - iconic and timeless.

Excited to have the opportunity to get back in... pics to follow tomorrow.

Alright, UPS came on time today! Very excited to add this one to the collection. The bevels on this watch are just incredible with how they refract the light. The grey dial needs to be seen in person to truly appreciate. Even winding this piece - super smooth.

I took the plastic off the bracelet exterior but need to take it off the rest of the watch. It's just so perfect right now it seems like sacrilege to have it exposed lol.

Christine at AP in East Hampton was fantastic to deal with -

Lovely wrist shot - congrats.

PS Whenever I see Westchester County under you handle I am reminded of a former life of mine in and around Yorktown Heights.

Congrats!

Was just at that the East Hampton boutique.

The ruthenium dial is the most interesting of the 15500’s IMO
