arrived....blue 15300

Been eyeing one of these for a long time and Decided to snap one up while there are some new ones still available though they are getting tougher to source since they have been discontinued. Love how the blue dial changes depending on the lighting conditions. From a slate blue to a brighter blue in direct light.

The bracelet is a work of art and I like the newer clasp as well. Nothing like the combination of bevels, chamfers, brushed and polished surfaces of a Royal Oak.

Special thanks to DavidSW and also Hal a fellow 15300 blue owner as well. I will be enjoying this one for sometime.

Congrats! I had my eye on this one as well. Looks like there's still a black dial.

Enjoy this beauty!

thanks, barely 6.5 inches of muscle! However i do have fairly flat wrists, but that doesn't stop me from wearing the Ap diver as well which is 42mm but wears large.

here's another pic

Congrats, this is one great pick up and the blue dial rocks, not to mention it is such a rare RO being discontinued and difficult to find, the see through caseback is such a joy to see the famous 3120 movement in action - frankly I am mouthwatering now
