Icon20 Incoming 26238ST a total surprise
What a surprise when I visited the boutique today. I was picking up something from service when my SA came back with my item and a tray with something hidden under an AP polishing cloth. Tried it on and was immediately sold. Being a bigger guy myself the piece looked great on my wrist. Got it sized and am lucky to have a 26238ST in the collection. The interchangeable strap system like my 43mm ROC is truly magnificent. I thought I’d wear it on rubber leaving the store but when I had the steel bracelet properly sized the bracelet stole my heart and feels extremely comfortable. I present to you another AP work of art! Cheers!!!

Congrats. This one gets the most wrist time of my collection. I have it in the rubber (older model, so doesn’t have changeable strap system).

Looks great in you!

Good fit ! The bracelet looks good and is yet different than a regular RO.
The play of light on it is different and looks smoother. I really enjoy it aswell.

Agree bracelet does display softer tones despite its bulk. Lovely!

No clue! Lol. Took two links out to fit properly if that gives an idea.

I’m all about the history. 30th anniversary of the watch and it has such beautiful vintage notes and the petit tappiserie dial is awesome. Definitely one that can be worn daily.

Would be really nice if its older cousin (25th anniversary) could be converted to the quick change system without selling a kidney.
