I bought a 15450 ST 6 months ago and was very happy with it. Went to Orchard road today and wife suggested that I check out AP boutique while she does her shopping. I was not planning to buy anything but just asked if they had a 15202. I have probably asked that question 50 times over the past 12 months and always got a NO. But not today....
Long story short, once I tried it on, I was hooked. This reference is amazing.

Thank you to all the enablers out there (Ken, Gus, Mikegp, James, Michael...). Now I need to check if I got 8 dots or 9 dots

Wife said "cool. I can wear your 15450 and we will finally have a set of couple watches for our 10th year wedding anniversary". I am generally not into cheezy things like this, but for once i did not argue.

I was the voice of reason at home until i started buying watches. Now this is getting out of control...

Lucky you! I'm surprised she didn't leverage for a new bag:).

My wrist is 7; so 39 is really the sweet spot for me as RO wears quite large.

orangedial · 13 July 2014, 11:34 PM
