Incame and well worth the wait
As we all know it's become more challenging as watch lovers to buy the pieces we really like/want to add to our collection over the last few years.
AP have probably been amoungst the brands that have sky rocketed the most and here in the UK (and Worldwide too I am sure) they have been totally inundated with people wanting to add to their AP collection, or to start one. For me I've owned 3 prior ROO's that were all bought second hand but after an intro to the team at AP House London from a TRF member (and now friend) here, I added the ROO 43 Smoke Taupe to my collection summer last year; However I'd started the process to buy a 15500 Blue dial Royal Oak way back in Spring 2019 at Harrods which, over time, proved to be not the best use of my time - hence the referral to AP House at the beginning of 2021 got me on the right track and this week I have collected this new watch; And it's simply stunning The dial is better than I could ever have hoped and the range of Blue is amazing according to the light and how it interacts with the dial/colouring. (and yes I will take some more, better pictures soon ) I had the option to wait for a new 15510 but once offered the 15500 Blue it was a simple decision to make for me. I will also look to add a 50th Anniversary Royal Oak reference later this year (Likely a new ROC and again with the help of the great team at AP House) but for now I can start to enjoy this one for the Summer. There were plenty of times where I (and a few watch friends) thought this would maybe never happen given the surge in demand for new AP product but if you persevere, build that relationship (and trust both ways is key) and just show your love of watches it can happen for you too. Have a good rest of your week AP fans |

Congrats, that dial is beautiful in the sun. It’s great to hear of real collectors actually receiving their favourite pieces from AP with some patience, keeps me hopeful! Enjoy it!

Yes, I'm very happy with these 2 and feel it's a decent start to a modest, but growing AP collection. Thank you! Thanks, I'm delighted with them both and work well as a combo. Last edited by GW44; 13 May 2022 at 01:46 AM.. Reason: typo |
