incoming 15202st

I haven't had the time to come here and post in a while but happy to share my latest toy which i got 2 months ago.

I have nothing but positive things to say about AP's sales model especially in HK after they have gone boutique only here.

The experience is super nice, the sales staff is super nice and super into long term relationship.

As a example I walked into AP and bought my watch in Nov 2019 (ROO Ti 44mm). Got my 2nd one in Jan 2020 (Gold Camo ROO 44mm). April 2020 I got 15500st (first silver/white dial in town). Feb 2021 I got the call for the 15202st. And the way I got it was the best part. It was my birthday month and the sales person who has become a good friend, called and said, my friend are you ready for your birthday present!

I see a lot about peoples experience with the list, and I can only share mine and say its been awesome!

Looks awesome & congratulations. I share your positive feedback regarding the HK boutiques! Great service and very friendly. They have also invited me to an afternoon at the AP House. I have not yet received „the call“ from them but I am sure it will come.

Stunning. Congrats! 2021 serial year might be a fun one to have if it’s the last year of production.

I am not a lefty but I wear my watches on the right hand cos my dad (also not a lefty) used to wear it on his right hand and just never felt the need to switch. I just followed him since i was little and by the time i realized it was the wrong hand i was too used to wearing on the right.

Congratulation and happy belated birthday! Beautiful piece.

I echo the feedback about the AP boutiques in HK, my SA in CWB is awesome.

so ever since getting the 15202st in feb its been sitting in my safe and i have basically been busy with my other hobbies and hadn't been here until a week ago only to see the news of the discontinuation and the 3x jump from 40k to close to 120k wtf!!!!

i usually let my new watches sit new for weeks before the first wear as I have been blessed to have so many APs I love and lately its my 15500st and my 26400io thats been getting all the love (and stratches)...

now im scared to even put it on as it appears to be on a meteoric rise...is it for real?

Congrats buddy, I also got my 2nd AP from one of the boutiques in Hong Kong & whole heartedly agree with yourself. Its my theory that they really wanna sell to watch lovers & not just flippers, my SA told me about how they have to put each one for approval, which may support this as it implies they don't just give the call to the next one on the list. I told them it was my 40th coming up, even showed them my ID card briefly (of course I didn't have to lol) and I got the call 2 months later!
