Incoming, 15400 Black Dial

Long time reader first post. Own several watches from other brands but this is my first AP.

Great first pick. I'm going down a similar road, only with another dial color.

Beautiful! The 15400 is so versatile. Is it a dress watch? Is it a sports watch? Nope. It's both!

great choice. I am a strong believer that a RO should always be someone's first AP. Jumping straight to the offshores leaves you missing something i think, although once you catch the bug one is sure to follow at some point.

Magnificent. It’s best as first AP and even the end game AP (unless seduced by the Jumbo).

Is this the first confirmed incoming from the 15400st price thread where everyone keeps asking kingofthehill to PM his AD?

https://www.rolexforums.com/showthre...28#post7746428

If so, we have at least 20 more to go
