My former AP Royal Oak 15300 with Cal. 3120

Here's some pictures of the AP 15300 Royal Oak I sold off a month ago. I still miss it very much, and thought it was one of the most beautiful watches to own, and a true classic, with a refined and well-executed in-house movement. The finishing and craftsmanship of this piece can only be experienced when you wear it everyday on your wrist. It definitely was a timepiece that was noticed, but it was just a little too conservative for my age. Hope you like these pictures I took in August.











If you don't like them, eat my shorts.

What a beauty I'm sorry to see it go, but as long as you're smiling, it's all good

wether a cosmetic fan or not you can't deny the detail and quality, don't you just love that clasp that when opened shows the AP initials, one up on the rolex pressed /stamped steel

Is the bracelet easily adjustable, like a Rolex? My wrists swell in heat & I can adjust the bracelet within seconds. Did the AP have the same adjustability?

4-inch wrists?? No offense intended, but that 15300 looks huge on you.

Beautiful 15300!! I miss mine!

I had one with the white dial. I'm currently looking for one with the black dial but that blue sure is pretty!
