Which AP rose gold blue chrono?

I’m looking to add a full rose gold, AP blue dial chrono to my collection.

If you had to choose 1 watch from this group, which would you choose any why?

1. 26331

2. 26239

3. 26240

I’ve only seen the 26331 in person.

Gotta go with the 26240OR IMO. I’m a big fan of the tapered bracelet, and the blue nuit on the 26240 strikes a little different than the previous references.

Can't stand the date on RO chrono, but especially the one on 31. Would choose 39 over 40 for contrast dials, but that's just me...

I just received my 26240 allocation in blue and couldn't be happier!

If you don't mind sharing, was this your first allocation?
Just wondering how hard is this one to get as a first piece.

Thanks!

Watch is absolutely gorgeous!! My favorite one so far, but as the member stated above, I would have to think this wasn't your first allocation, correct?

I'm assuming you have made multiple purchases before this one, unless you went on the grey market.

No. This is my sixth purchase from the NYC boutique.

This is a boutique purchase. I have an extensive AP provide but this is my 2nd piece from the boutique.

As cliché as it sounds, it's really about the relationship you have with your SA/boutique. I'm in a pool with some extremely heavy hitters and by me getting this type of allocation so early is really based on my relationship I have built with my SA.

Between the choices, I like the 26240 best. I recently acquired in blue dial from the boutique.

The NYC boutique is the closest one to where I live.

If I was to ask for the 26240or watch as my first, with no purchase history, what would be the odds I can land it?

What were others experience recently? I don’t like the Code lineup at all, so if they made me purchase one of those first, it would never happen.

You can get it second, grab a nice offshore (43). Second for me was a rose gold royal oak and I had only bought a stainless green diver.
The big spenders you think you’re playing against already have that type of thing covered.
