Incoming 26420SO
What started as a quick check in with my SA as I was passing though town turned into a "welcome to the family!"

My first (and hopefully not last) AP... I couldn't be more thrilled with the entire experience. Not only was I allocated a piece from my wishlist... it came faster than I could possibly imagine.

The quality is amazing and just feels... different... on my wrist in an incredible way.

Congrats man. I’ve heard from some folks with no prior purchase history that they were told the taupe offshore would be near impossible as a first purchase. Good for you!

Totally biased here but the ROO 43 in Taupe is an incredible reference.

It was my first (new) AP House purchase in 2021 and still love it now

Wait was about 5 weeks and the watch was number one on my wish list. My SA knows I’m still interested in the others (white dial 15500ST or 26240ST). She said maybe towards the end of the year…. But I’m in zero hurry.

There’s a lingering rumor of new references from AP this year… so will be interesting to see how it plays out.

Oh man, it looks so good. Still struggling with picking this one or the grey ti.

I'm changing my mind on almost a daily basis.

Good news is I don’t think you can go wrong… the grey ti looks great too… hope you can pick either up soon!
