Incoming 15500! Completely unexpected

I have a deposit for a 15202 and 15450 blue, so when the 15500 was announced I didn’t bother to get on any list. Then when I wanted it, both AP Vegas and NY told me they’re no longer taking names.

Then a few weeks ago I received an unexpected call from my SA that a grey will be coming in - took me 10 mins to decide and I’m 100% glad I did.

This is my first RO and the bracelet lives up to everything that’s already been said. Very easy to adjust the links with a 1.4mm. Dial changes through different shades of grey and there’s an incredible amount of attention to detail, I’m still discovering it all.

Just wanted to say for anyone on the fence, I think you’ll enjoy the 15500!

Looks good, welcome to the grey club. I see they hooked you up with some goodies as well. I like the rotors on both the 15500 and 15400.

I originally thought that gray dial wouldn’t offer enough contrast, but it’s really growing on me. Congrats!!!

Great swag too-although I didn’t get any with my 26331 purchase!!!

Got to pick between all blue or green on white, an awesome AD

Can’t go wrong with any AP hats, the material is super comfortable
